You'll receive structured training from day one, giving you the knowledge and confidence to develop into a successful sales professional.
Salary and Benefits
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.
- £29,000 basic salary
- Annual profit-sharing scheme, recognizing performance against target
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Fully funded Level 4 Sales Training Qualification
- Structured training and ongoing development
- Clear opportunities to progress into field sales and management
Where could it take you?
This role is designed for someone at the start of their career, with the opportunity to take on more responsibility as they develop. With experience, you could progress into a client-facing field sales role, with further opportunities to move into management.
You'll also have the opportunity to complete a fully funded Level 4 Sales Training Apprenticeship through BMS Progress, alongside the training provided by the business.
We've already seen this progression in action, with a graduate placed by BMS in September 2024 moving into a client-facing role with a company car.
