Job Description

Business Development Executive

Are you a driven, self-motivated sales professional who thrives on winning new business and building strong relationships?  If you are a consultative sales person who loves meeting clients, solving real problems and reaping the rewards of your own effort, this could be the opportunity that elevates your career. 

We are recruiting 2 roles, locations:

1 x covering North West, 1 x covering South West - must be located around the East Midlands due to regular time in the Derby HQ (Twice weekly after onboarding/training).  

Salary: £37,500 - £40,000 (£50,000 + realistic OTE)

We’re supporting a well-established, expanding organisation in the health and safety products space, known for exceptional training, internal progression, and genuine earning potential. With big growth plans and a strong reputation in the market, they’re now looking for two hungry, proactive sales professionals to join their expanding team.

What you'll be doing:

You’ll take full ownership of your territory, selling an innovative product range directly to end users across sectors including construction, manufacturing, horticulture, and grounds maintenance. This is a hands-on, consultative field sales role where success comes from curiosity, resilience, intelligent questioning, and a genuine ability to understand customer challenges.

Expect plenty of variety:

Prospecting, networking and uncovering new customers
	
Managing a healthy pipeline built through your own activity plus marketing leads
	
Cold calling and confident outreach
	
Demonstrating product value and closing deals
	
Maintaining accurate records within HubSpot CRM
	
Some early starts, later finishes, and occasional overnight stays
	
This is not a 9–5 desk role - it’s for someone who enjoys the autonomy of field sales and the satisfaction of winning business through effort and persistence.

What’s on Offer

£37.5k–£40k base salary

Uncapped commission, realistic OTE £50k+

24 days holiday + bank holidays

Company pension

Option to join BUPA healthcare

Excellent on-site facilities including gym, games areas, and subsidised canteen

Full product and regulatory training plus ongoing personal development

What we are looking for:

Strong B2B sales experience - you may be looking to develop into a field role, you may have experience already in the field. 
	
Confidence in prospecting and cold calling
	
Confident in converting leads face to face and online.
	
Ability to balance hunting new business with nurturing existing accounts
	
Full UK driving licence
	
A flexible, proactive, resilient attitude
	
Experience within construction, manufacturing, horticulture, or similar sectors is useful but not essential - drive and hunger matter more than industry background.

Who Will Succeed in this role?

Someone curious, self-driven, and commercially sharp. You’ll enjoy taking ownership, learning the products inside out and pushing yourself to hit and exceed targets. If you’re motivated, ambitious, and want a role where effort equals reward, you’ll thrive.

If you have the experience we are looking for and you think you will succeed within this industry and role, apply today.

Business Development Manager, Sales Executive, New Business Executive, Sales Account Manager, BD Executive
