This is a genuine 100% new business role, ideal for someone who enjoys prospecting, opening doors and building a pipeline rather than managing existing accounts.

• Following up web enquiries and marketing‑generated leads
• Managing the full sales process from initial conversation through to close
• Building and maintaining your own pipeline using Salesforce CRM
• Speaking with business owners to understand their challenges and recommend appropriate solutions
• Selling a range of business services

• Around 1+ year of B2B outbound sales experience
• Experience generating your own opportunities rather than relying purely on inbound leads
• Ability to research and generate your own leads
• A genuine passion for new business development
• Strong resilience and confidence speaking with business owners
• Experience using a CRM system such as Salesforce would be advantageous
