Sales Development Executive (Entry Level)
Birmingham City Centre | Full-Time | Permanent | On-Site
£25,000 guaranteed base salary + commission paid on top.
This is not a commission-only role.
Let's be upfront, because most sales ads aren't. This is a face-to-face sales role. Your base salary of £25,000 is guaranteed and paid regardless of results. Commission is earned on top, typically £40 to £70 per completed sale, and it is variable, not promised. If you've been burned by "unlimited earnings" adverts that turned out to be commission-only, this is the opposite of that.
You'll be based at our Birmingham city centre office, working Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm, no evenings or weekends. The job is simple to explain: you represent established UK brands in person, speak with customers, understand what they need, and complete sales. Full training is provided from day one, so no previous sales experience is required.
What you'll actually do
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.
- Engage customers face-to-face on live campaigns for national brands
- Learn a structured sales process, from opening conversations to completing sales
- Work towards clear individual and team targets, reviewed with your team leader
- Attend daily briefings and regular one-to-one coaching sessions
- Track your own results so you always know where you stand
Pay, in plain terms
- £25,000 per year guaranteed base salary, paid weekly
- Commission of £40 to £70 per completed sale
- Commission is performance-based and varies week to week. No earnings beyond your base are guaranteed, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Training and progression
You'll receive structured onboarding, daily coaching, and ongoing support. Progression into senior sales or team leadership roles is available and is based on measurable performance, capability, and business need. We won't promise you a promotion by a set date, because nobody honest can.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Who this suits
- Strong communicators who are comfortable speaking with people all day
- Backgrounds in retail, hospitality, customer service, events, or similar are useful but not essential
- Career changers looking for a role where effort visibly affects earnings
- Reliable, coachable people who want honest feedback and clear targets
You must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship, and be able to work on-site in Birmingham full-time.
How to apply
Apply with your CV and your earliest available start date. Immediate starts are welcome, and candidates with a notice period will still be considered.
