Business Development Executive / Tele Sales – Office Fit-Out & Workspace

Location: Maidenhead, Berkshire

About the company

Our client is a well-established supplier in the commercial office furniture and workspace market, known for working with businesses on fit-outs and workspace transformations. With a great team culture and a beautiful working environment, it’s a place people are proud to come to work. They’re growing their sales team and are looking for a driven, self-motivated Business Development Executive to open doors and build new client relationships.

The role

This is a hands-on, proactive new business role. You’ll generate your own opportunities, manage your own pipeline, and set up meetings for the commercial team, passing them well-qualified, warm opportunities to take forward. You’ll be supported by a CRM and a stream of leads, but with the freedom and expectation to go beyond them, using a blend of phone, email and LinkedIn to engage decision-makers and turn conversations into meetings and orders. You’ll build and grow your own network across facilities managers, office managers, architects, interior designers, project managers, fit-out contractors and commercial property agents, spotting opportunities early and winning business before the competition does.

• Manage your own pipeline consistently, keeping the CRM accurate and up to date
• Work closely with the commercial team, sharing market insight and contributing to team targets

About you
