Job Description:

If you enjoy the chase, the hunt, for new business opportunities and want to work for a flexible company with a very appealing range of services that save customers thousands of pounds, then we have a very interesting role to discuss.

The organisation we're recruiting for is an international business in the security sector, offering a wide range of services, both manned and unmanned, to protect remote construction sites, empty properties, and a wide variety of other situations.

This is a hybrid role based out of their office in central London, responsible for the SW London patch. After an initial training period, you will be encouraged to be out and about with potential clients and customers as much as possible, sourcing opportunities and booking meetings to discuss services. If not out and about, you will be able to spend 2/3 days in the office.

The position is self-sufficient, and over time, you will build your client base. The role will involve both new business development and account management. The sales process can sometimes last up to 6 months, so patience and excellent client management skills are essential to close deals.

Candidates with experience selling services into government sectors such as local authorities, public sector, housing associations, NHS, and police are preferred. Candidates from security, debt/property enforcement, fire solutions, or experienced services sales professionals with steady careers in related roles are also of great interest.

If you're a motivated salesperson comfortable pitching and winning new clients/contracts, and this sounds like a position you could be interested in, please send us your CV today. If you have the required product and industry experience, we will be in touch quickly for a chat.
