Business Sales Negotiator

At Lily Head Dental Practice Sales, we help dentists buy and sell dental practices across the UK.

For many dental practice owners, selling their business is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions of their career. For buyers, finding the right practice can be life-changing. Our role is to bring the right people together, guide the conversation and help successful deals take shape.

We are looking for a confident, commercially minded Sales Negotiator to join our team.

Working alongside our Business Brokers, you will help launch dental practices to market, generate buyer interest, negotiate offers and help agree sales that are ready to progress.

This is a role for someone who is impressive on the phone, enjoys building relationships, understands how to create excitement around an opportunity and knows how to turn conversations into action.

As a Sales Negotiator, you will speak daily with dentists, practice owners, buyers, investors and acquisition teams. You will learn what makes a dental practice valuable, what buyers are looking for and how successful sales come together. You will help identify the right buyers, create interest, manage follow-up and support negotiations through to an agreed sale.

This is a role where your conversations directly shape results.

You will work with our Business Brokers to understand each dental practice, what makes it valuable and who it is most likely to appeal to.

You will then introduce practices to suitable buyers, build interest through confident conversations and keep opportunities moving through proactive follow-up.

You will speak with buyers to understand their requirements, motivations and ability to proceed, matching the right buyers to the right practices.

You will spot the hooks that make an opportunity attractive, communicate them clearly and encourage buyers to take the next step.

You will lead offer negotiations, help agree commercially sound deals, maintain accurate CRM records and package agreed sales clearly for handover to the transaction team.

You will enjoy this role if you like speaking to interesting people, learning how businesses work and negotiating deals that genuinely matter.
