Business Protection Sales Consultant

Manchester, City Centre | £40,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission | £75,000+ OTE

If £40k is where you start, not where you want to stay, keep reading.

UK Staffing Group are continuing our successful partnership with a fast-growing independent insurance brokerage in Manchester, and we're looking for a genuinely commercial B2B sales professional to join their expanding Business Protection team.

This isn't an account management role.

It isn't a customer service role.

And it certainly isn't a position for someone who is comfortable picking up their salary every month and doing enough to hit target.

This is a sales role for someone who wants to earn.

You'll be speaking with business owners and professionals, identifying opportunities, having commercially focused conversations and taking prospects through a consultative sales process to generate new business.

The earning potential is significant because the commission is uncapped. The people who do well here are the ones who are hungry, competitive and genuinely motivated by what they can achieve.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work with business owners and individuals to understand their circumstances, identify risks and recommend appropriate protection solutions.

You'll be responsible for the full sales process, including:

Developing and converting new business opportunities

Having consultative conversations with business owners and professionals

Conducting detailed fact-finds

Understanding commercial and personal requirements

Recommending appropriate protection solutions

Presenting solutions and handling objections

Following up consistently and professionally

Negotiating and closing business

Managing a busy pipeline and multiple opportunities at different stages

Building long-term commercial relationships whilst maintaining a strong new-business focus

You'll receive full training across areas including:

Business Protection | Key Person Protection | Shareholder Protection | Relevant Life | Life Insurance | Critical Illness | Income Protection

You don't need previous insurance experience.

You do need to know how to sell.

Who We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in people who have built their sales career within regulated or professional services environments, where credibility, questioning, commercial awareness and the ability to build trust are essential.

You might currently be working in:

Financial services

Insurance

Wealth management

Mortgages

Professional services

Business consultancy

Another regulated or commercially driven B2B environment

The industry background matters less than the quality of your sales ability.

We're looking for someone who can demonstrate genuine experience of winning business rather than simply managing existing accounts.

You'll need:

Proven B2B sales experience

A strong new-business / hunter mentality

A track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets

Experience working in a target-driven, high-volume environment

Strong consultative selling skills

The confidence to speak with business owners and senior professionals

Excellent questioning and listening ability

Commercial awareness and the ability to understand client needs

Strong objection handling and closing skills

Resilience and the ability to maintain momentum across a busy pipeline

A professional and credible approach

A genuine desire to maximise your earning potential

Most importantly, you need ambition.

If your motivation is simply to secure a £40k basic and have a comfortable job, this won't be the right opportunity.

If you're the type of salesperson who looks at a £40k basic and thinks, "Right, now show me what I can earn on top of it," we'd like to talk.
