Trainee Business Development Executive (Relationship-Focused B2B Sales) – Greater Manchester

£30,000 - 35,000 base + uncapped commission | Progression | Long-term accounts

If you enjoy building genuine relationships, becoming a trusted advisor and adding real value to clients, this is the perfect entry point into B2B sales.

This role is ideal for someone who wants more than just quick wins - you’ll be developing long-lasting partnerships with businesses, helping them improve how they operate while growing your own portfolio.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for identifying new clients and guiding them through a consultative journey - understanding their needs, offering tailored solutions, and then continuing to support them long after the deal is closed.

This is a relationship-led sales role, where success comes from trust, consistency and delivering ongoing value.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building strong, long-term relationships with business clients
• Acting as a trusted advisor, understanding customer challenges and offering tailored solutions
• Managing accounts post-sale to ensure satisfaction, retention and growth
• Identifying additional opportunities within your client base to increase value
• Working closely with clients to improve their processes and outcomes
• Developing your own portfolio of loyal, repeat customers

What Makes This Different

• You don’t just close deals - you own the relationship long-term
• You’ll build a portfolio that continues to generate income over time
• Success is driven by trust and client satisfaction, not just volume
• You will become a go-to person for your clients, not just another salesperson

What We’re Looking For

• A natural relationship builder who enjoys working with people
• Confident communicator who can build trust quickly
• Someone who listens, understands needs and adds value
• Driven and motivated, but more focused on quality than shortcuts
• Keen to build a long-term career in business development

What You’ll Get

• £30,000 - 35,000 base salary + uncapped commission (realistic £70,000+)
• Lifetime earning potential on accounts you manage
• Structured training and ongoing development
• Clear progression into senior and account management roles
• A supportive, collaborative team culture

Why Join?

This is your chance to step into a role where your success is built on relationships, reputation and long-term impact - not just short-term wins.
