About Us
We are a fast-growing accountancy and tax advisory practice based in Manchester, working with businesses and property owners across the UK.
We are ambitious, entrepreneurial and building a modern professional services firm with a strong focus on growth, flexibility and rewarding performance.
As we continue to expand, we are looking for a confident and driven Sales Development Representative to join our business development team.
This is an outbound sales role for someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, speaking to business owners and decision-makers, and creating new opportunities.
The Role
Your primary responsibility will be generating new business opportunities through outbound prospecting.
Your focus will be speaking to prospects, identifying opportunities, building relationships and progressing interested leads.
You should be extremely comfortable with cold calling. We expect a minimum of 80 outbound calls per day, alongside follow-ups and other business development activity.
You will also be encouraged to build your own network and attend relevant networking events, conferences and business events.
Key Responsibilities
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.
