Job description

B2B Sales Executive - Office-Based

Location: Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Salary: £40,000 basic + uncapped commission (realistic OTE £75,000+)

Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 6:30pm (office-based)

Are you a B2B Sales Executive who loves being on the phone, closing deals and seeing your commission grow every month?

We're looking for a driven, resilient Sales Executive to join a high‑energy, owner‑led B2B sales team in Peterborough. You'll be speaking to business owners and senior decision‑makers who've already shown interest, running confident sales conversations and closing them into paying customers.

What you’ll be doing

• Make high‑volume outbound calls to warm and cold business leads generated through paid marketing campaigns.
• Speak directly with business owners and senior decision‑makers.
• Run structured, confident sales conversations and present the value of high‑impact services.
• Handle objections, stay calm under pressure and close with urgency.
• Work towards clear daily and monthly KPIs.
• Follow up warm leads quickly to maximise conversions and your commission.
• Keep the CRM up to date with notes, outcomes and next steps.
• Play your part in a competitive, fast‑paced sales floor with a strong team spirit.

This is a phone‑based, office‑based sales role in Peterborough – ideal for a Sales Executive who enjoys a lively, target‑driven environment.

What we’re looking for

You don’t need to come from a specific industry, but you must be confident and resilient. You’ll be a great fit as a B2B Sales Executive if:

• You have proven experience in B2B telesales, inside sales or outbound sales.
• You’re comfortable making high volumes of outbound calls every day.
• You’re a proven closer with a track record of hitting or exceeding sales targets.
• You’re confident talking to business owners, MDs and senior stakeholders.
• You’re competitive – you like seeing your name near the top of the leaderboard.
• You’re thick‑skinned, can handle direct feedback and bounce back quickly from "no".
• You’re coachable, ambitious and keen to grow into more senior sales roles over time.

If you want a quiet, slow‑paced role, this won’t be for you. If you’re a hungry Sales Executive who likes being pushed and properly rewarded for performance, you’ll thrive here.

What you’ll get

• £40,000 basic salary.
• Realistic OTE £75,000+ with uncapped commission for top performers.
• Monday‑Friday, office‑based role in Peterborough – no weekends.
• Structured training and onboarding to get you up to speed quickly.
• Ongoing coaching and support from experienced sales leaders.
• Clear progression routes into Senior Sales, Senior BDM or Team Leader roles.
• Modern office environment with a genuine "sales floor" buzz.
• Regular incentives, recognition and team incentives.
• Workplace pension and all the tools and tech you need to perform at your best.
