Business Development Manager (Face-to-Face Proactive Sales) – Leading Brand

This is not a sit-back-and-wait sales role!

We’re looking for a driven, proactive Business Development Manager to join a market-leading brand with serious momentum. This is an exciting opportunity to work directly alongside a dynamic Director of Sales & Marketing and play a key role in driving commercial growth across a high-profile Leeds-based operation.

If you thrive on face-to-face selling, building real relationships, and winning new business — keep reading.

The Role

You will take full ownership of proactive sales activity across the Leeds market. This is a field-based, relationship-led role where visibility, networking and personality matter.

You’ll be:

  * Generating new business through direct outreach and face-to-face meetings

  * Building and nurturing long-term client relationships

  * Identifying high-value opportunities using data and market insight

  * Creating and executing a targeted sales strategy

  * Representing a respected and recognisable brand in the local market

This is a role for someone who enjoys being out in the city, making things happen — not hiding behind emails.

About You

  * A strong, sales-focused Business Development Manager

  * Proven experience in proactive, face-to-face B2B sales

  * Confident, resilient, and full of character

  * Well-networked in the Leeds area with strong local knowledge

  * Commercially sharp and target-driven

  * Comfortable operating at pace in a fast-moving environment

  * Highly presentable, articulate and relationship-focused

  * You’re a natural connector. YOU open doors. YOU create opportunities. YOU close deals.

The Package

  * Up to £38,500 + Uncapped Monthly commission

  * Excellent benefits

  * Real career progression within a growing, ambitious brand

  * The opportunity to work with an inspiring and forward-thinking leadership team

Why Apply?

Because this is more than a BDM role.
It’s a chance to represent a leading brand, build something meaningful in Leeds, and be properly rewarded for your drive and results.

If you’re proactive, confident and hungry for success — we want to hear from you.
