The Company

A global distribution and data company offering solutions to any and every type of organisation from the very smallest to the very largest. They have won numerous awards for and ISO accreditations allowing them to be recognised as one of the BEST EMPLOYERS to work for in the UK.

They have a friendly, collaborative and family feel to the culture with extremely low turnover of staff.

The Role of Business Development Manager

As Business Development Manager you will be 100% new business focused, selling a suite of leading solutions to any and every type of organisation. These solutions include printing and distribution, data cleansing, a sophisticated SMS platform and more besides. These services are designed to save time and money for companies which is why their retention rate is so high.

You can choose to target clients in certain sectors, regions or both. Put simply, if a fellow sales person isn't already talking to the company, then you can approach them. Currently they only have a 5% of the market so there are many companies to target and you will be given plenty of support and guidance.

As with any field sales position, sometimes you will have short days and other times you will have long days, depending on where your meetings are. You will be expected to go to a minimum of 5 face to face meetings a week.

When you first join you will be put on a 3 week training course to ensure that you are really clear on how to sell their solutions and will then work remotely (with the exception of going to their Midlands offices once a month). Naturally when you are away from home for meetings, you will have an expenses budget to cover the hotel, travel etc.

The commission in this role is extremely rewarding as you not only earn commission on every deal that you do, you continue to earn commission on all future spend from the clients that you get on board.....even though you have passed them on to a client services team! Most clients rebook each year and often spend more, so you earn the commission all over again (without doing anything). Therefore, every year your commission will increase from the cumulation effect of earning from previous years' clients (who are still spending) as well as your newer clients. As a result, the top 2 sales people (team of 6) are earning 6 figures each year and their earnings continues to grow.

Requirements for this Business Development Manager role

Must have 3+ years media sales experience (this is non-negotiable)!

Must be able to drive and have a car (mileage will be paid at 45p per mile)

You will be credible and will enjoy face to face sales

You will enjoy new business development

You will be self-motivated and able to work remotely whilst managing your diary to achieve your face to face meetings target

You must be able to commute to their Midlands offices once per month

You will be articulate and professional

Stable career history
