Business Development Representative
£33,000 per annum | Full-time | Falkirk, Scotland | Office-based
The Benholm Group is one of the UK’s leading commercial planting companies. For over 30 years, we’ve been transforming workplaces, hospitality venues, retail environments, and public spaces through creative planting, living walls, and biophilic design.
We’re looking for a Business Development Representative to join our team and help us create new business opportunities across the UK.
The role
This is a lead generation and opportunity development role rather than a traditional sales position.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Identifying potential clients
- Starting conversations with key decision-makers
- Understanding where Benholm could add value
- Creating qualified opportunities for our sales team and Directors to progress
If you enjoy researching businesses, speaking to new people, asking good questions, and opening doors, this could be a great fit.
What you’ll be doing
- Research and identify new business opportunities across targeted sectors throughout the UK
- Connect with key decision-makers and introduce them to Benholm
- Have meaningful conversations to understand potential client needs and opportunities
- Qualify leads before passing them to the sales team
- Book qualified appointments and introductory meetings for our Directors
- Build relationships through telephone outreach, networking, and consistent follow-up
- Support the continued growth of our UK-wide network, including opportunities in London
- Maintain accurate and detailed prospect information within our CRM
- Provide clear handovers to the sales team to progress specifications, quotations, and proposals
- Share useful market feedback, trends, and insights with the wider team
- Work towards agreed targets for conversations, qualified leads, appointments, and pipeline created
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.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is confident, curious, and motivated by creating opportunities rather than closing deals themselves.
You’ll ideally have:
- Experience in telesales, telemarketing, internal sales, or a similar business development role
- A proven track record of working towards targets and KPIs
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- A confident and professional telephone manner
- The ability to engage and build rapport with decision-makers
- Experience using CRM systems
- Strong organisation and attention to detail
- Resilience, persistence, and a proactive approach
- A natural curiosity about businesses and their needs
- A collaborative, team-focused attitude

You’ll join a supportive team at an exciting stage of our growth, with:
