MET Recruitment are delighted to be recruiting for an experienced Business Development Manager to join a well-established and respected organisation based in Wolverhampton.

The role
As Business Development Manager, you will:
- Proactively identify and develop new B2B opportunities
- Generate your own leads through outbound activity, LinkedIn, referrals, networking and events
- Build and maintain a strong sales pipeline
- Engage with business owners, MDs, CEOs and senior decision-makers
- Conduct consultative meetings to understand individual business needs
- Present tailored solutions and demonstrate clear commercial value
- Prepare proposals and presentations
- Manage opportunities from initial contact through to close
- Work towards monthly and annual new-business targets
- Attend networking events, exhibitions and business forums across the region
- Maintain accurate CRM records, forecasts and pipeline activity
- Work collaboratively with internal teams on targeted campaigns and lead-generation activity
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
