Our Discovery Days are the first step for these companies to unlock their potential and access the Trade Mastermind Academy.

The Role

We are looking for ambitious and motivated Business Development Managers (BDMs) to join our Event Bookings Department. You will be speaking directly with trade business owners (plumbing, heating, electrical, building, construction etc.) who have enquired through our paid marketing channels (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram).

• Contribute to a high-performance sales culture in the office.
• Work closely with the Sales Manager to continuously improve scripts, objection handling, and performance.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in B2B telesales or inside sales (event sales, recruitment, training, or services preferred).
• Strong communication and persuasion skills at business-owner level.
• Confident closer with a track record of hitting daily and monthly sales targets.
• High-energy, competitive, and resilient personality.
• Able to thrive in a KPI-driven, fast-paced sales environment.
• Coachable, ambitious, and eager to progress into senior roles.
