Job Description

Do you want a fun and rewarding role within a creative design-led market? We are a growing landscape company with a passion for innovation and trends in plants - particularly centred on interior landscaping. Our success is based on a dedicated commitment to customer service and our passion for innovation.

We are looking for a Business Development Executive to help us grow the business by developing new relationships with prospective customers. We work with facilities managers, architects, surveyors, interior designers; and end-users in the hospitality, finance, legal and pharmaceutical sectors. We are currently finding that successful businesses are putting a significant importance on wellbeing in the workplace and our product is in strong demand as a result - we as a company want to capitalize on this current trend and experience significant growth as a result. Sustainability, too, is of significant concern to businesses today which, again, has caused significant demand for our product.

The ideal candidate for this role will have the ability to work on their own initiative, have experience in a B2B (business-to-business) sales or marketing role (preferably in construction), experience with telesales and be prepared for long sales cycles. You will need to have good telephone skills, be self-motivating and have a dedicated, persistent approach to work.

The responsibilities in this role will be primarily the pursuit of potential customers by telemarketing from purchased construction industry leads and our existing database. It will also include outreach via email and LinkedIn plus the more trivial aspects of business development such as lead research (from local press, trade mags, construction Leads), appointment setting and database management. Specification and F2F sales will initially be dealt with by sales manager but could be taken on at a later stage as your product knowledge progresses. Basic salary from 30-35k DOE plus commission, up to 45k OTE.
