Job description

Location: Manchester City Centre (Hybrid - 3 days in office)

Salary: £35,000 Basic + £5,400 Car Allowance with £55,000 OTE (Uncapped)

We're working exclusively with a business that genuinely stands out when it comes to developing, investing in and progressing its salespeople.

The training is exceptional, the progression opportunities are some of the best we've seen, and the Sales Director is a genuine coach and mentor who takes real pride in developing his team and helping people reach the next level.

This isn't somewhere you'll be left to sink or swim. You'll be joining a supportive, ambitious sales environment where development is taken seriously, performance is rewarded and there's a proven track record of people progressing quickly into more senior, higher-earning roles.

The business itself is an established, global consultancy, but it's the people, leadership and opportunities for progression that really make this one stand out.

The package:

• £55,000 OTE with uncapped commission.
• Exceptional training and ongoing coaching from a Sales Director who genuinely invests in developing his people.
• Fast-track progression into BDM, with salaries starting at £47,000 basic (achievable within 12–18 months).
• Clear career pathways into Senior BDM, Sales Leadership and Key Account Management.
• A sociable, supportive sales environment where people are encouraged to develop, succeed and progress.

The role:

• Full 360 new-business sales role - generating your own opportunities and closing your own deals.
• Managing the full sales cycle, from initial prospecting and discovery through to negotiation and signed contract.
• Selling consultancy services to businesses across a wide range of industries.
• Building your own pipeline through outbound prospecting, cold calling and networking.
• Working alongside an experienced sales team, with additional lead generation support and hands-on coaching.

The ideal profile:

• At least 12–18 months' experience in B2B sales with genuine responsibility for closing deals.
• Coachable, open to feedback and keen to learn from experienced sales leaders.
• Ambitious and motivated by earnings, development and long-term career progression.
• Proven track record of generating and winning new business.
• Backgrounds in 360 recruitment, B2B services, consultancy or other fast-paced sales environments would be particularly relevant.

If you're an ambitious B2B salesperson who wants more than just their next sales job, this could be a brilliant opportunity.

With exceptional coaching, genuine earning potential and a clear route into senior sales roles, it's an opportunity to really accelerate your career.
