Sales Executive
Target start: End of October/ Early November
London (hybrid, 2 days per week)
£30,000–£35,000 + commission + benefits
Kioni Talent is working with a market-leading data, intelligence, and events provider to hire a Sales Executive into their London team.
This is an opportunity for someone early in their sales career to join an established business, take ownership of a subset of customers and sales activity, and develop towards an Account Management role over time.
You don't need experience within their industry. They're much more interested in finding someone who's proactive, organised, good with people, and knows that they want to build a career in sales.
You'll receive plenty of support to learn the market, their customers, and what you're selling.
The Role
You'll be responsible for driving sales across a portfolio of industry events, working with both existing customers and new prospects.
That will include:
- Reaching out to existing and prospective customers through phone and email
- Building relationships and understanding which events are relevant to them
- Managing your own pipeline, follow-ups, and sales activity
- Re-engaging customers who have attended previous events
- Identifying opportunities to increase customer spend
- Generating new business and bringing new customers into the portfolio
- Working closely with Account Managers when you identify larger commercial opportunities
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.
You'll be given ownership from an early stage, but with support from an experienced team around you.
What They're Looking For
You don't need a specific industry background or a certain number of years' experience.
Some previous exposure to sales, business development, recruitment, or another target-driven environment would be useful, but they're primarily looking for someone with the right attitude and potential.
That means someone who is:
- Proactive and comfortable picking up the phone
- Confident communicating and building rapport with new people
- Organised and good at managing their own workload
- Resilient and comfortable working towards targets
- Personable, curious, and willing to learn
- Motivated to develop a long-term career in sales
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous events experience isn't required – you'll be supported to learn the industry and product once you join.
Why This Role
There's a clear progression opportunity behind this hire.
The intention is for you to develop your sales skills, build your own customer relationships, and gradually take on larger commercial opportunities, with the potential to progress as you develop.
You'll also have the opportunity to attend some of the events you're selling, including the potential for international travel.
If you're early in your sales career and looking for somewhere you can learn, take ownership, and progress, feel free to apply or get in touch.
