Business Development Executive

The Role

We're not about hard selling or quick wins. This role is about building genuine relationships with clients, understanding what they need, and showing them how our Clients' products can make their lives easier.

You'll be part of a friendly, driven sales team where consistency, curiosity, and good communication matter more than jargon or pushiness.

If you enjoy making connections, picking up the phone, and seeing conversations turn into long-term partnerships, you'll fit right in here.

What You'll Be Doing

* Following up on incoming enquiries by phone, email, or video call and giving potential customers a first-class experience.
* Picking up the phone daily to target new customers, building trust and turning cold calls into warm conversations.
* Listening to what senior stakeholders need, then recommending the right products and solutions.
* Managing a healthy pipeline in the CRM — keeping notes up to date so nothing slips through the cracks.
* Preparing accurate quotes and negotiating to close deals.
* Spotting opportunities to upsell and cross-sell without being pushy.
* Representing our client at exhibitions and events, chatting confidently to senior staff and showcasing products.
* Working closely with managers and colleagues to share ideas, improve processes, and hit team goals together.

What You'll Need

* Proven experience in sales, lead generation, or business development.
* Comfortable making outbound calls (and resilient when you hear "no").
* Great communication skills — whether that's a phone call, a quick email, or presenting at an event.
* The ability to plan your time, manage priorities, and keep on top of multiple opportunities at once.
* Confidence with Microsoft Word, Excel, and CRM systems.
* A can-do attitude: positive, self-motivated, and able to adapt when things change quickly.
* A focus on accuracy and detail — right first time matters to us and to our customers.

What You Might Not Like

* This isn't a "sit back and wait" kind of sales role. Cold calling is part of the job, every single day.
* They work to monthly targets — if numbers make you nervous, this probably won't be your happy place.
* You'll be juggling lots of enquiries at once, so if you prefer a slow and steady pace, this might feel overwhelming.

What To Do Next

If you're ready to join a supportive team where sales are built on trust, not tricks, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today with your CV and let's start the conversation.
