LEAD GENERATION EXECUTIVE

WHALEY BRIDGE OR WAKEFIELD BASED

£35,000 + BONUS + BENEFITS

Are you confident on the phone, commercially switched on, and brilliant at turning opportunities into conversations?

Get Recruited is partnering with a successful, long-established group that is continuing to grow its product range, customer base, and market reach.

Following recent expansion, the business is creating a brand-new Lead Generation Executive / Sales Executive position.

This role would suit a Lead Generation Executive, Sales Development Representative, Business Development Executive, Telesales Executive, Internal Sales Executive, Sales Executive, Appointment Setter, Outbound Sales Executive, New Business Executive or Business Development Representative who loves picking up the phone, generating interest and booking quality meetings.

THE ROLE

As the Lead Generation Executive/Sales Executive, you'll manage the opening stages of the sales cycle, identifying opportunities, contacting potential customers and booking meetings for the field-based sales team.

The company already receives strong website traffic, with up to 100+ new enquiries and visits in a week from across the UK and Europe. You'll have plenty of contacts, warm opportunities and untapped markets to work with from day one.

The business currently supplies mainly through distributors but is now looking to reach more end users and promote new product ranges across the construction, landscaping, gardening and trade sectors.

This isn't a scripted call-centre role. The Lead Generation Executive will be encouraged to bring ideas, test new approaches and make the position their own. There will also be opportunities to support product launches, demonstrations, social media activity and potential TikTok campaigns.

• Sending brochures, product information and marketing materials
• Identifying decision-makers and uncovering commercial opportunities
• Booking qualified meetings for the Business Development and field sales team
• Recording all Lead Generation activity accurately using Salesforce
• Supporting product launches and new routes to market
• Attending occasional customer visits and industry events
• Contributing ideas for digital campaigns, demonstrations and social media
• Helping the company expand into new industries, regions and European markets
