Overview

Proactive Business Development Manager - Events

West Midlands

Up to £50,000 + uncapped OTE

Super exciting opportunity for a strong BDM to join this successful team and lead the new business development across a range of events venues!

The company

We are representing prestigious venues that host a range of live events from awards ceremonies to conferences, product launches and galas for a broad client base. With a great culture, fantastic benefits and a fun, dynamic team, this is a brilliant place to work. We have an exciting new opportunity for a proven BDM to join the sales team and grow revenue and sales for the venue.

The role

As a proactive BDM you will be responsible for developing your own pipeline and working to set targets. From targeting decision makers to setting up meetings and securing show rounds of the venue, this is a role where you will be supported by the Sales Director but also expected to work autonomously to achieve your goals. While there are inbound enquiries, this role is predominantly proactive and you will thrive on hitting KPIs and driving revenue.

About you

We are seeking a proactive new business hunter with a strong understanding of lead generation, working to targets and securing deals. Ideally you will have an understanding of events—from conferences to awards shows and live large-scale events—you will be able to bring the venues alive and sell not only space but an experience and cross-sell services to clients. A proactive approach to generating your own leads, pitching and securing meetings, and being happy to work to targets is key. A proven track record in hitting sales targets is essential!
