Summary
This is not a typical sales role. It is a pure hunting position designed for individuals who thrive on outbound activity, rejection resilience, and closing in on opportunity.
As a Business Development Manager & Appointment Setter at Annular Group, your sole focus is to identify, engage, and secure high-value demo appointments with decision-makers in scaling SMEs.
You are the front line of revenue generation, opening doors with founders and executives, creating opportunities, and directly influencing deal flow. If you are commercially sharp, relentless in outreach, and motivated by uncapped earning potential, this role offers a clear path to significant income.
