About This Role

Are you an Internal Sales Executive, Sales Executive or Business Development Executive looking for a role where you can turn conversations into genuine commercial opportunities? As an Internal Sales Executive with Dawsongroup Truck and Trailer, you will research prospects, qualify new business leads and support our field sales team with the information and appointments they need to build strong customer relationships.

  • Research potential customers and opportunities using SID CRM, online platforms, Companies House information and other relevant sources.
  • Generate, nurture and qualify new business leads by understanding customer needs, sales potential and the right next step.
  • Support Area Sales Managers with prospecting activity and book quality customer appointments.
  • Maintain accurate customer and pipeline information, developing into a confident SID super user.

Interviews for this role will take place on Saturday 22 August, between 9am and 2pm, so please make sure you are available during this window.

About You

You may already work in internal sales, telesales, retail sales, customer service or business development, the environment matters less than your ability to communicate well, spot an opportunity and follow it through. We are looking for someone commercially curious, organised and tenacious, with some exposure to sales and the confidence to start professional conversations with prospective customers.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
