This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and winning new business. You will take an active role in identifying, prospecting and securing new SME customers across a range of industries, including construction, logistics, transport, manufacturing and other business-to-business sectors.

This is a hands-on, new business sales role suited to someone who is hungry to succeed, confident speaking to decision-makers and motivated by achieving targets and earning commission.

You will ideally have:

• Some experience in sales, telesales, lead generation, recruitment, account development or another customer-facing commercial role. However, applications from ambitious candidates with limited experience will also be considered.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach and the ability to create opportunities rather than wait for leads to come in.
• Resilience and the ability to handle rejection positively while maintaining consistent prospecting activity.
• Commercial awareness and an interest in understanding how businesses operate and where they can benefit from new solutions.
• A positive attitude, willingness to learn and ambition to progress within a growing business.
