Are you an experienced B2B sales professional with a background in security or telecoms?

We're looking for a driven, commercially minded Business Development Manager to join a rapidly expanding, award-winning technology services provider.

Whether your background is in CCTV and access control, telecoms, connectivity, mobile solutions or business data services, we're keen to hear from you.

This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive salesperson who enjoys winning new business, building relationships and maximising their earnings. With a competitive basic salary, car allowance and uncapped commission paid on new business, existing business and rolling contracts, this role offers excellent earning potential and the opportunity to build ongoing commission income.

About the company

Founded in 2020, this award-winning technology services provider has grown year on year, offering a broad portfolio of business technology solutions, including CCTV, access control, electronic security, business telecoms, connectivity, mobile solutions and data services.

With continued growth and demand across its product portfolio, the business is looking for an ambitious sales professional to help expand its customer base and drive further revenue.

The role

This is a 100% new-business sales role, ideal for someone who thrives on prospecting, generating leads and winning new customers.

You’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities, engaging business decision-makers and selling technology solutions across either the security products market or the telecoms and connectivity sector, depending on your experience.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in security sales, telecoms sales, connectivity, mobile, data or technical B2B sales.
• A strong background in new-business development and winning customers.
• Confidence with cold calling, outbound prospecting and generating your own leads.
• Experience managing a sales pipeline and closing deals.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to understand technical products and communicate their benefits to business customers.
• A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel to customer meetings.
