Internal Sales Executive, Derby
£40,000–£45,000 basic + uncapped commission | £60,000–£65,000 realistic OTE
Do you get a buzz from opening doors, creating opportunities and closing business? We are working with a well-established but rapidly growing company in Castle Donington that is looking for an experienced Internal Sales Executive to join its commercial team. This is not an order-taking or customer service role. As an Internal Sales Executive, you will proactively develop existing customers, win back lapsed accounts, identify new business opportunities and increase spend across a broad product portfolio. You will have ownership of your customers, your pipeline and your results.
If you enjoy targets, thrive on creating your own opportunities and want an uncapped earning opportunity where strong performance is genuinely rewarded, this Internal Sales Executive role could be a great move.
What you’ll be doing
- Proactively contact existing, lapsed and prospective customers
- Create new sales opportunities through regular outbound activity
- Develop and grow an assigned portfolio of accounts
- Identify opportunities to increase customer spend and cross-sell products
- Re-engage customers whose purchasing has reduced or stopped
- Follow up quotations, enquiries, campaigns and leads with urgency
- Qualify opportunities and progress them through to conversion
- Build relationships with key customer contacts and decision makers
- Prepare quotations and commercial proposals
- Negotiate confidently and ask for the business
- Maintain an active sales pipeline and clear next actions
- Record customer activity and opportunities accurately within the CRM
- Work closely with Marketing, Product Managers and the wider sales team
- Attend exhibitions, workshops and customer meetings where required
- Take ownership of individual revenue and gross profit targets
