If you live for the chase, don't fear rejection, and get a real buzz from getting a deal over the line, this could be the career move for you! This is not a role where you just make the first call and hand it over. This is end-to-end sales, from the first dial to the signed agreement, with face-to-face meetings and full ownership of your pipeline.

• Has proven cold calling experience (B2B preferred but not essential)
• Is a genuine new business hunter, not an account manager
• Thrives on rejection and stays relentless until the deal is done

• Is confident speaking to business owners and senior level decision makers
• Thinks outside the box and finds ways to open doors others miss
• Can work independently and take full ownership of their pipeline
