Junior Business Development Representative

Company: Flourish

Location: London Victoria – Office Based

Salary: £32,000 Base Salary + Uncapped Commission

Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

About Flourish Flourish is a specialist sales recruitment and training business that helps ambitious, high-growth companies build successful sales teams. We work closely with founders, commercial leaders, and senior decision-makers to help businesses find the talent they need to grow.

As part of the wider Apprentify Group, Flourish combines the energy of a growing business with access to a broader commercial network. Our culture is built around teamwork, ambition, continuous learning, and recognising people who are motivated to achieve more.

We’re looking for an ambitious and motivated Junior Business Development Representative to join our London Victoria team and begin building a successful career in B2B sales.

The Opportunity This is an excellent entry-level opportunity for someone looking to develop their commercial skills, build confidence, and progress within a growing business.

Working alongside experienced sales professionals, you’ll learn how to identify potential clients, engage decision-makers, understand business needs, and generate new business opportunities for the wide- team.

Through structured onboarding, hands‑on training, and regular coaching, you’ll develop the skills needed to succeed in business development. Previous sales experience isn’t essential; we’re looking for the right attitude, strong communication skills, resilience, and a genuine desire to learn.

If you’re competitive, commercially curious, and motivated by targets, earning potential, and career progression, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Research businesses and identify potential clients that align with Flourish’s target market.
• Contact prospective customers through cold calling, email, LinkedIn, and other outbound channels.
• Introduce Flourish’s services and communicate how we help businesses build stronger sales teams.
• Engage with founders, sales leaders, and other senior decision-makers.
• Ask effective questions to understand business objectives, growth plans, and recruitment requirements.
• Qualify prospective clients and identify potential business opportunities.
• Arrange meetings for the Business Development team with relevant prospects.
• Follow up consistently and professionally to build relationships with potential clients.
• Maintain accurate records of prospecting activity, conversations, and follow-ups within the CRM.
• Learn to manage a sales pipeline and prioritise daily business development activities.
• Participate in team meetings, role‑play exercises, call reviews, and coaching sessions.
• Work towards agreed activity targets, meeting objectives, and pipeline goals.
• Apply feedback to continually improve communication, prospecting, and sales techniques.

Training and Career Progression

We understand that starting a career in sales can be challenging, which is why training, coaching, and personal development are central to this role.

From day one, you’ll receive structured onboarding and ongoing support from experienced professionals who will help you develop your skills and confidence.

Your Development Will Include

• Learning the fundamentals of B2B sales and outbound prospecting.
• Developing confidence in cold calling and engaging senior stakeholders.
• Researching, qualifying, and approaching prospective clients.
• Practising objection handling, questioning techniques, and effective sales conversations.
• Learning to use CRM systems and manage a sales pipeline.
• Receiving regular coaching, feedback, and performance reviews.
• Developing the commercial knowledge needed to take on greater responsibility.

Career progression:

Junior BDR → Business Development Representative → Business Development Executive → Further commercial leadership opportunities.

Progression will be based on performance, skill development, and readiness to take on additional responsibility.

Office Environment

This is a five‑day‑per‑week, office‑based position in London Victoria.

We believe working together in person gives junior team members the best opportunity to learn quickly, develop confidence, and benefit from regular coaching. You’ll work closely with experienced colleagues, shadow successful sales professionals, practise sales conversations, and receive feedback throughout the working week.

Upon progressing into a Business Development Executive position, the working structure moves to four days per week in the office, offering greater flexibility as your independence and commercial responsibilities increase.

Culture, Incentives and Team Life

At Flourish, we believe success comes from combining a high‑performance environment with a supportive, close‑knit team culture.

We recognise hard work, celebrate achievements, and encourage healthy competition while ensuring everyone has opportunities to learn and develop.

Our Team Experiences And Incentives Include

• Incentive days, including Chester Races.
• Team dinners at The Ivy and other leading London restaurants.
• Summer parties and social events across the Apprentify Group.
• Regular team celebrations and performance‑based rewards.
• Opportunities to learn from ambitious professionals across the wider group.

You’ll join a team that values collaboration, ambition, personal development, and celebrating success together.

What We’re Looking For

You Could Be a Great Fit If You’re

• Confident: Comfortable speaking to new people and building professional relationships.
• Ambitious: Keen to develop your skills, achieve targets, and progress your career.
• Coachable: Open to feedback and willing to put advice into practice.
