Job description

Build opportunities. Build relationships. Build your sales career. Join 848 Group as an ambitious Sales Development Representative in a role that goes beyond cold calling. Own the prospecting journey, from identifying opportunities and starting conversations to securing quality meetings and supporting the wider sales process.

Stafford | Expected in the office four days per week

Key responsibilities

Research target businesses and contacts, then generate opportunities through proactive prospecting. Use cold outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, tailored email, social engagement, nurturing and other touch points to build relationships, understand needs and secure qualified meetings.

Collaborate with the wider sales team on opportunity development, accurate pipeline records, handovers and follow-up. Success means meaningful conversations, quality opportunities and pipeline contribution, not simply call volumes.

Skills and experience

Bring curiosity, initiative and resilience, with confident written and verbal communication, strong organisation and a willingness to learn. Managed Services, IT Services, Professional Services or MSP experience is desirable, not essential. You’re motivated to build a long-term sales career.

Your pathway to Account Manager

Follow a clear development pathway towards an Account Manager role, building prospecting, relationship-building and commercial skills. Progression depends on your development and readiness, not a guaranteed promotion or fixed timetable.
