Are you a dynamic and driven new business sales professional with a passion for Fire safety/ Fire compliance? Join our supportive and growing team as a Fire Compliance Sales Business Development Manager! Can sell across verticals from Hospitals and health, National Accounts, Shopping centres, Leisure, Retail, Data centres, commercial or other specialisms you may have contacts with so you can get contracts for your FIA/ BAFE Fire protection company.

Company: They are a National dedicated Fire Protection and Detection (Fire Safety/ Fire Compliance) company committed to building a passionate team of sellers. Their mission is to provide comprehensive fire compliance solutions to their clients, ensuring their safety and peace of mind, and want local people who can sell, consult, listen to companies and become their Fire Compliance supplier/ partner. You would have worked for another Fire Detection/ Fire Protection company... but maybe aren't getting the support or reward that this fresh start can offer.

What You'll Be Doing as a Fire Business Development Manager/ Area Sales Manager (Fire Solutions):

• Selling a range of fire safety products at a high level as well as maintenance contract services, for products to be maintained and installed such as fire extinguishers, fire alarms, passive fire protection, and full fire compliance packages such as risk assessments.
• Sell maintenance and new systems (don't have to be technical, but do need to have worked for a FIA or BAFE company!) offering tailored Fire Protection solutions to meet your clients' needs.
• Managing a targeted area with 20% of leads provided, while also seeking out new business opportunities (this is a sales role, not account management... and you should enjoy hunter and development type role, as a BDM, Business Development Manager).
• You will have and enjoy building and maintaining strong relationships with clients to drive fire compliance sales and achieve new business targets, winning new companies and expanding clients.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary up to £75,000 (dependent on area & sales record)
• £6,000 car allowance or the option of a company car.
• Attractive commission structure.
• A supportive work environment with a focus on team collaboration and professional growth.
• Working with other regions and being part of growth and new team
• No limits on verticals or areas (unless makes sense to pass on to others)
• National network of engineers

Who We're Looking For:

• Proven UK experience in Fire Compliance sales, definitely within the fire safety, fire detection, fire protection or fire compliance industry.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills.
• Able to bring in new business 80%, as well as develop leads 20%
• Ability to work independently, head down and eyes up generating business - Should be rewarded for winning new clients you have/ find
• Passion for fire safety and helping clients achieve compliance.
