Business Development Executive

Ready to take your sales career to the next level within commercial insurance?

Your day-to-day will include:

* Identifying and developing new commercial insurance opportunities through outbound calling, networking, referrals and inbound enquiries.

* Building and managing your own pipeline, keeping CRM records and forecasts up to date.

* Speaking with business owners and decision-makers to understand their business, risks and insurance requirements.

* Working with a broad panel of insurers to source competitive and appropriate cover.

* Preparing and presenting tailored insurance proposals across areas including business insurance, property owners, motor fleet, motor trade, cyber, professional indemnity and contractors.

* Building strong relationships with prospects, confidently handling objections and helping clients make informed decisions.

* Working towards agreed individual and team new business targets.

* Ensuring a smooth handover to the Account Management team once business is won.

* Developing relationships with clients and introducers that lead to repeat business, referrals and long-term opportunities.
