As an Acquisition Account Manager within BT's Inside Sales team, this role focuses on generating new business and re-engaging customers who currently have low or inactive spend with BT.

This is a hands-on, individual contributor role where success comes from consistent commercial activity, resilience and personal delivery. You'll work with customers where little relationship currently exists, prospecting and building credibility, identifying opportunity and converting this into revenue across BT's enterprise portfolio.

This is not an account management or customer success position where you are closing warm leads. Success comes from identifying opportunities, generating pipeline and closing new business. This role is ideal for someone with experience in B2B sales who enjoys hunting out and creating opportunities rather than inheriting them.

Over time you could grow into roles with larger customers and more valuable sales cycles. Successful performers can progress into larger customer portfolios, field sales roles or specialist technology sales positions. BT also offers a bespoke sales training programme for learning & development.
