Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

If you're confident on the phone, love making connections, and want to earn what you're worth – this one's for you.

Our client is a well-established, fast-growing freight forwarding business with roots going back nearly 30 years. Family-owned but far from old-fashioned, they combine a strong reputation in the logistics industry with a progressive, people-first culture. Their team is friendly, agile and committed, and now they’re looking to bring in a Sales Executive who’s as ambitious as they are.

This is a genuine opportunity to join a thriving business during a key phase of expansion. You’ll be working with a huge bank of warm leads, many of which are from previous clients or active prospects, so you won’t be stuck in a cold-calling wilderness but make no mistake, this is a high-energy role. You’ll need drive, tenacity, and a strong phone presence. If you love talking, connecting, and closing, you’ll love this job.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Contacting warm leads (and some colder ones) from an extensive in-house database built over 10+ years.
• Making outbound calls to introduce the company’s logistics services (Road, Sea, Air, and Express).
• Following up on quotes and reactivating old accounts.
• Researching new prospects and identifying decision-makers.
• Converting interest into clients through phone, email, LinkedIn, and face-to-face meetings.
• Updating the CRM with activity and outcomes.

What They’re Looking For:

• A natural communicator – confident, chatty, and great on the phone.
• Resilient, persistent, and not afraid of a few knock-backs.
• Self-motivated and target-driven (this is a commission-based role – you’ll need to be hungry).
• Able to understand client needs and offer tailored solutions.
• Someone who enjoys the buzz of sales and thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

What’s In It For You?

• Uncapped commission and bonus scheme – your earning potential is in your hands
• Company pension
• Health and wellbeing programme
• Gym membership and on-site gym
• On-site parking
• Clear route for development and promotion

This is a business that rewards effort, encourages growth, and values work-life balance. You’ll be part of a team where your input matters, your success is recognised, and your development is actively supported.
