You’ll have the opportunity to work with organisations across a range of sectors, identify new opportunities and take ownership of the sales process from initial outreach through to closing.

The Role

As a Business Development Executive, you’ll be responsible for generating new business and growing the customer base.

You’ll spend your time identifying target organisations, engaging decision-makers, qualifying opportunities and presenting the value of tailored learning and development programmes.

This is a target-driven role with strong earning potential and uncapped commission, making it ideal for someone who is commercially motivated and wants to progress their career in sales.

• Building relationships with senior decision-makers
• Understanding client requirements and identifying relevant learning solutions

What we’re looking for

• Minimum 1 year of B2B sales experience (SDRs welcome!)
• Comfortable with outbound prospecting and generating your own opportunities
• Commercially driven and motivated by targets and commission
• Confident communicating with decision-makers
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Resilient and able to handle objections and rejection
• Coachable, ambitious and keen to develop
• Experience selling into the public sector would be advantageous, but isn't essential

Package & Benefits

• £35,000 to £40,000 basic salary
• £10,000 to £120,000+ OTE
• Uncapped commission
• London based with hybrid working
• Strong career development and progression opportunities
