B2B Exhibitions (Beauty Portfolio)
Coventry (office-based)
£28k basic + Commission (uncapped)
Love beauty? Love selling? This is a rare chance to combine both.
Our client is one of the UK's fastest-growing exhibition organisers, running award-winning trade shows across the UK and internationally. Their beauty portfolio is their strongest and fastest-growing, and its flagship is a leading B2B beauty trade show in London.
In just two years it has grown so fast that next year's floor space has already been expanded three times, and its onsite rebook this year brought in more than the whole show did the year before.
They're now looking for a Sales Executive to join the beauty team and help keep that momentum going.
The role
You'll sell exhibition stands and sponsorship packages, spending most of your time on the London show and supporting the team's international beauty event during its busiest selling periods. This isn't a cold-calling grind. Most leads are warm, coming from marketing, inbound enquiries and contacts met at shows. Your job is to nurture them, ask the right questions and close.
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.
Day To Day, You'll Be
- Following up warm leads by email and phone, and running discovery calls with beauty brands
- Walking clients through floor plans and pricing, then creating urgency to get a decision
- Upselling sponsorship, onsite branding and year-round digital packages
- Re-engaging past leads and spotting new brands yourself
- Attending competitor shows and working onsite at the client's own events
- Keeping your pipeline up to date in Salesforce
What you'll get
- £28,000 basic plus a 25% annual bonus. Targets are set to be achievable, and this year's team hit super target on both stands and sponsorship
- Uncapped 10% commission on your own sales once super target is passed
- 3-4 fully expensed overseas trips a year, with the chance to travel to an international show soon after joining
- Flexible hours around 8:30-4:30, with a 3:30 finish every Friday
- Early finishes and team lunches when weekly targets are hit, plus monthly team days out
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, pension, life insurance, 24/7 GP access, EAP and a £300 quarterly wellness allowance after a year
- A clear path from Sales Executive to Senior Sales Exec, Sales Manager and Exhibition Manager
