Job description

Business Development Executive

North West | £29,000 Basic + Uncapped Bonus (Realistic OTE £40,000+)

Monday to Friday | No Evenings | No Weekends

Enjoy Talking to People? Build Relationships That Turn Into Business.

Not every sales role is about cold calling.

If you enjoy speaking to people, building rapport and uncovering opportunities through genuine conversations, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

We're recruiting on behalf of one of the North West's most successful and fastest-growing businesses. They already work with thousands of loyal customers across the UK and are continuing to invest heavily in their sales team.

This is a role where you'll spend your day speaking with warm customers, previous customers and businesses that already know the brand, helping them discover solutions that genuinely add value.

If you enjoy the buzz of winning business but prefer conversations over hard-selling, you'll feel right at home.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building relationships with existing customers and businesses already familiar with the company.
• Reconnecting with previous customers and identifying new opportunities.
• Understanding each customer's needs before recommending the right solution.
• Managing opportunities from the initial conversation through to closing the sale.
• Growing your own customer portfolio and developing long-term relationships.
• Working closely with a supportive sales team who genuinely want everyone to succeed.

This is consultative sales, where listening is just as important as talking.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need to come from the same industry.

If you've been successful in telesales, internal sales, business development, customer retention, account management or another phone-based commercial role, we'd love to hear from you.

You’ll probably have:

• Confidence speaking with customers over the phone.
• A naturally friendly, engaging personality.
• The ability to build trust quickly.
• Motivation to achieve targets and earn excellent bonuses.
• A positive attitude and resilience when things don't always go your way.
• A genuine desire to develop your career.

Most importantly, we're looking for people with energy, enthusiasm and a great attitude.

Why Join?

This is more than just another sales job.

You'll be joining a business that continues to grow year after year, invests in its people and offers genuine opportunities to progress your career.

You'll benefit from:

• £29,000 basic salary.
• Uncapped bonus with realistic earnings of £40,000+.
• Monday to Friday working - your evenings and weekends are yours.
• Excellent training and ongoing coaching.
• Clear career progression opportunities.
• Outstanding employee benefits.
• A supportive management team that wants you to succeed.
• A positive, collaborative culture where success is recognised and celebrated.
