Business Development Manager

We are delighted to be recruiting on behalf of our client, a rapidly growing national services business, who are looking to appoint an experienced and ambitious Business Development Manager to join their expanding sales team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a driven, results-focused salesperson who enjoys winning new business, building strong customer relationships and maximising opportunities with existing customers.

The role is deliberately commission-focused, offering uncapped earning potential for someone with the ambition, determination and proven sales ability to succeed.

The Role

As Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for developing relationships with both new and existing customers, identifying new business opportunities and managing the customer journey from initial engagement through to ongoing account development.

Our client provides specialist services to organisations across both the public and private sectors, supporting customers with the management, testing, maintenance and emergency response requirements associated with critical fuel storage systems.

Industry experience is not essential, as full training will be provided on the company's products, services and procedures.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain strong relationships with new and existing customers.
• Generate new business through outbound telephone calls, email and Microsoft Teams, with occasional site visits.
• Respond promptly and professionally to inbound sales enquiries and leads.
• Provide an exceptional level of customer service and ensure all opportunities are followed up consistently.
• Prepare and present professional written quotations to prospective and existing customers.
• Identify opportunities to increase customer spend through additional services.
• Achieve agreed KPIs, sales targets and business development objectives.
• Manage and prioritise your own workload effectively.
• Work collaboratively with the wider sales team, sharing ideas and contributing to future sales strategies.
• Attend team meetings and training sessions to support your own development and the success of the wider sales function.

About You

The successful candidate will have previous sales or business development experience, ideally with a proven track record of achieving targets and generating new business.

You will be:

• Highly motivated, ambitious and commercially driven.
• Confident and professional when communicating with customers.

• A genuine team player who is keen to contribute to a growing business.
• Target-driven and motivated by the opportunity to earn uncapped commission.
• Committed to building a successful and long-term career in business development.

Salary & Experience

The salary for this position is £30,000-£35,000 per annum, dependent on experience.

Candidates seeking the higher salary of £35,000 must have a demonstrable and stable work history specifically within Business Development Manager or Business Development Executive roles, together with evidence of consistent sales performance, new business generation and achievement of targets.

Candidates without this level of demonstrable and relevant experience may still be considered, but would be offered a salary towards the lower end of the advertised range.

What's on Offer?

• £30,000-£35,000 basic salary, dependent on relevant experience.
• Uncapped and attractive commission opportunity.
• Profit Share Scheme.
• Company pension.
• Company events.
• Free on-site parking.
