All candidates should make sure to read the following job description and information carefully before applying.
Leicester -| Hybrid after probation
Permanent, full-time
Are you an experienced B2B salesperson who enjoys finding new business rather than waiting for leads to come to you?
We're working with a growing specialist business looking for a Business Development Executive to join its commercial team.
This is not a high-volume telesales or call-centre role .
You'll be researching target businesses, identifying the right decision-makers, starting conversations and developing potentially significant long-term customer relationships.
What you'll be doing:
Researching target companies and identifying potential opportunities
Mapping decision-makers across Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement and Commercial teams
Using telephone, email and LinkedIn to engage prospects
Having meaningful commercial conversations and understanding customer requirements
Qualifying opportunities and identifying their potential value
Working alongside the wider commercial team to develop opportunities
Managing your activity and pipeline through CRM
Following opportunities through longer sales cycles
Progressing towards taking ownership of smaller opportunities and ultimately a broader BDM role
We're looking for someone who has:
2 - 6 years' genuine outbound B2B business development / sales experience
Experience proactively generating new business
Confidence speaking with business decision-makers
Experience researching accounts and identifying relevant stakeholders
A consultative approach to qualification and discovery
Strong CRM and pipeline management experience
The resilience to develop opportunities over time rather than expecting an immediate sale
A genuine ambition to progress within business development
The ability to commute reliably to Thurmaston, Leicester
Experience in logistics isn't essential. We'd also consider strong B2B salespeople from technology, SaaS, telecoms, facilities management, recruitment, professional services, engineering services and other B2B environments.
If you're a proactive B2B salesperson who enjoys creating opportunities from scratch and wants to develop into a broader commercial role, I'd be keen to hear from you.
