What You’ll Be Doing

• Hunting for new business through telephone outreach, LinkedIn, networking and referrals.
• Creating your own opportunities rather than waiting for leads to arrive.
• Converting qualified inbound leads with energy, pace and professionalism.
• Building rapport with business owners, Managing Directors and senior decision-makers.
• Running discovery conversations to uncover genuine needs and commercial opportunities.
• Positioning AW Safety as a full Compliance Partner rather than a single-service supplier.
• Identifying opportunities to introduce relevant additional services.
• Owning and managing your pipeline accurately through HubSpot.
• Negotiating and closing new business within agreed pricing parameters.
• Providing a clear handover once a new client has been secured, allowing you to focus on the next opportunity.

What Success Looks Like

• Generating £500,000 or more in new client revenue each year.
• Maintaining pipeline coverage of approximately four times your annual target.
• Consistently achieving agreed sales and activity targets.
• Building a strong portfolio of new clients who choose to work with AW Safety because of the relationships you have developed.

You’ll Thrive Here If You Are

• A genuine new-business hunter who enjoys prospecting and opening doors.
• A confident communicator who builds credibility and trust quickly.
• Competitive and motivated by targets, recognition and uncapped earning potential.
• Resilient and persistent without taking an overly aggressive approach.
• Curious, commercially aware and able to ask insightful questions.
• Comfortable working independently and at pace.
• Organised and confident managing a structured sales pipeline.
• Motivated by winning new clients rather than managing existing accounts.

Experience We’re Looking For

• Proven success in B2B new-business sales.
• Confidence generating opportunities through outbound prospecting.
• A track record of meeting or exceeding commercial targets.
• Experience managing a structured sales pipeline.
• The ability to communicate credibly with business owners and senior decision-makers.
