The Role of a Business Development Manager
Our client is looking for an ambitious, driven B2B Sales Executive who genuinely enjoys winning new business. This is a full 360 sales role, so you’ll own the entire sales process, from identifying and generating your own opportunities, through to building relationships, presenting, negotiating, and closing deals.
You’ll have a support team helping to generate leads and opportunities, but this isn’t a role where you simply wait for leads to land on your desk. Our client is looking for someone who enjoys the hunt, is confident picking up the phone, opening new doors, and turning prospects into long-term clients.
There will be a good mix of office-based work and getting out on the road to meet clients face-to-face.
Key Responsibilities for a Business Development Manager
- Generate your own new business opportunities through proactive prospecting
- Manage the full sales cycle from initial contact through to close
- Convert leads and opportunities generated by the wider support team
- Build and manage a strong sales pipeline
- Keep CRM records accurate and up to date
- Present and pitch products and services to prospective clients
- Build relationships with decision-makers and senior stakeholders
- Negotiate commercial terms and close new business
- Meet and exceed personal sales targets
- Develop long-term relationships with clients after the initial sale
