Job description

As a Business Development Executive, your job is simple: Create opportunities. Start conversations. Generate sales.. You'll be responsible for identifying businesses that could benefit from StriveAI, getting in front of decision-makers and moving them through our sales process.

• Prospect. Identify businesses that need what we offer.
• Outreach. Contact business owners through phone, messaging and targeted outreach.
• Walk in. In London, you'll have the opportunity to approach businesses face-to-face and open doors.
• Qualify. Understand their business, identify their problems and establish whether we can genuinely help.
• Book demos. Turn qualified conversations into demonstrations with the sales team.
• Follow up. Stay on prospects and manage your pipeline — most deals don't close after one conversation.
• Close. You'll be trained on our sales process and expected to develop the confidence to close.
• Track everything. Keep your leads, conversations and activity organised through our CRM and sales systems.
• Hit your numbers. You'll have clear targets and expectations around activity and results.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for hungry, proactive and reliable people. You don't need a perfect CV. We're interested in whether you can:

• Speak confidently to business owners and decision-makers.
• Start conversations with complete strangers.
• Handle rejection without losing momentum.
• Stay organised and follow up properly.
• Work independently without being constantly chased.
• Take coaching and actually implement it.
• Hit targets and hold yourself accountable.
• Turn up consistently and put a proper shift in.
• Stay motivated when the results aren't immediate.

Previous B2B sales or business development experience is preferred, but not essential. CRM experience is a bonus. Attitude beats experience. We'll teach you the product. We'll teach you the process. We'll give you the systems and training. We can't teach you hunger.
