Business Development Executive

About the company

This is an opportunity to join a growing organisation where you'll have the autonomy to develop your own pipeline, build lasting client relationships and directly influence your earning potential. Previous experience within the energy sector isn't essential, as full industry training will be provided. What's important is your ability to sell professionally, identify opportunities and convert prospects into long-term customers.

Your tasks

This is a proactive, commercially focused sales role, encompassing:

• Generating new business through outbound calls, prospecting and targeted sales activity.

• Building and managing your own sales pipeline, identifying potential clients and converting leads into new business opportunities.

• Engaging with business owners, senior decision makers and key stakeholders to understand their requirements and develop strong commercial relationships.

• Promoting business solutions professionally and compliantly, ensuring customers receive a high standard of service throughout the sales process.

• Managing opportunities from initial contact through to conversion, building a strong portfolio of long-term clients.

• Working towards individual sales targets, maximising revenue opportunities and contributing to the continued growth of the business.

• Maintaining accurate sales records and managing follow-ups effectively to ensure a consistent and organised approach to business development.

Requirements

If you're an experienced B2B salesperson looking for a role with genuine earning potential, the opportunity to develop your career and the chance to make a real impact within a growing business, this could be an excellent next step. I'm working with an ambitious, independent business consultancy looking to expand its sales team and recruit a commercially minded B2B Sales Executive to help drive new business growth across Cornwall.

The ideal candidate will have at least 12 months' B2B sales experience, with a proven ability to generate new business, build relationships and work towards commercial targets. You'll be confident speaking with business owners and senior decision makers, comfortable with outbound prospecting and motivated by the opportunity to earn uncapped commission. A professional telephone manner, strong communication skills and a self-motivated approach are essential. Experience within the energy sector would be advantageous, although candidates from other B2B sales environments are encouraged to apply.

If you're a B2B Sales Executive, Business Development Executive or Sales Consultant looking for a new challenge in Cornwall, particularly if you're ready to take greater ownership of your pipeline and earning potential, I'd encourage you to apply.

What we offer
