Job description

Are you highly experienced in direct marketing / telesales?

If you’re the dynamic Business Development Executive we are looking for - you'll be ...

A go-getter with a personality that is ambitious to grow and achieve. Progression in achievement terms and in your career are both key drivers for you.

You’ll be working in a startup with a big vision to make marketing simple. You’ll play a key role in enrolling small to medium business owners into one of our most popular coaching and training programmes.

Lead generation is the primary focus of your role.

You’ll be supported fully in developing several lead-generation strategies. You have the ability to follow through to the nth degree, you are a self-starter, innovative, can be given the briefest of project briefs and deliver above expectations. You have excellent communication skills, a positive mindset and love learning.

You are experienced in ‘selling/marketing services’ such as recruitment in business-to-business sales. You are a solid sales performer with extensive leadership skills and ability to tackle challenges head on.

Educated to degree level, you will be verbally fluent, and able to develop instant rapport with people, and be extremely likeable. You are described as a self-starter with the ability to grow and be a creator of long term relationships while achieving aggressive sales targets.

You are smart, hardworking, a troubleshooter and focused.

You must demonstrate professionalism, persistence, excellent communication, and negotiation skills over the phone and face to face. Telesales experience is preferable.

Requirements-wise

• Understand the benefits social media and digital marketing can bring to a business (don’t worry, we don’t expect you to know everything just yet!)
• Excellent customer service skills
• Experience in a sales environment
• Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills
• A clear understanding of what DISC is
• Strong networking skills to build relationships with prospective and existing clients
• Adept at using Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools and data
• In-depth knowledge of sales strategy, product demonstration and sales reports
• Confident in speaking at networking environments
• Highly organised and detail-oriented with an ability to multitask.
• Already has or wants to build a personal brand.

Our perks aren’t fancy, but they are useful.

• Advanced investment in your development. We pay for things like confidence coaching, high-performance coaching and leadership training from world class speakers
• Flexible benefits – we let you have every Friday afternoon off for your well-being, go to the park, see friends or just get home early and miss the traffic!
• Flexible gym membership – on work-from-home days, feel free to go to the gym any time; no more turning up to the gym during rush hour!
• Quarterly socials – We try and ensure that our socials don’t revolve entirely around alcohol, so previous sessions have included Home Hosting, Pizza nights and evenings out to watch football.

Our office is in Chesterfield but we still take a hybrid approach. That’s right, a company in 2024 that actually isn’t 100% WFH since face time is important to us, our culture and the company we’re trying to build.

But let’s be real, we treat adults like adults – if you need to leave a bit early to pick your kid up or go to a specific gym class, that’s cool too

WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING ENTREPRENEURS.

Our mission is to help entrepreneurs, founders and leaders turn their businesses into profitable assets. Coaching them through the best marketing strategies in the world that deliver real results.

WE’RE MARKETING FOCUSSED.

We have clients on LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. We create personal branding websites, film and edit video campaigns and ghostwrite long-form content on behalf of some pretty cool people.

WE'RE A STARTUP.

If you only want to do what's in the 'job description' or are not a fan of collaborating with your team - this isn't the place for you.

WE'RE SMALL BUT RAPIDLY GROWING.

We need people who are fearless in taking the initiative to solve a problem in their first week, muck in to get something across the line for their department and be a real team player (1 team 1 dream vibes).

WE'RE FOCUSED ON YOUR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH.

Working for a startup is like having your personal and professional growth on steroids. If you want to learn a whole host of new skills (some you didn't even realise you wanted to learn), fast-track your progression, and build out your dream role - you'll love it here, and we'd love to have you.
