Job Description

Trainee Business Development Manager
£25,000 Basic Salary | £35,000–£40,000 OTE Year 1
Basildon
Permanent | Full Time
Monday to Friday
Our client, based in Basildon, is looking for an ambitious and driven Trainee Business Development Manager to join their growing team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in Leasing and Business Development. You don't necessarily need previous experience in the industry – they're far more interested in the person, their attitude and their ambition to progress.
You'll receive approximately 9–12 months of structured training to develop your knowledge and skills before progressing towards a full Business Development position.
You'll also have the opportunity to attend networking events and client visits alongside experienced members of the team, giving you valuable exposure to relationship building, networking and business development from day one.
Duties & Responsibilities
  * Learn how to identify and develop new business opportunities.
  * Support the team with sales, prospecting and business development activity.
  * Assist with preparing, submitting and following up quotations.
  * Communicate with customers professionally via telephone, email and face-to-face.
  * Attend networking events alongside experienced members of the team.
  * Attend client meetings and visits to develop your understanding of relationship management.
  * Shadow experienced Business Development professionals to learn effective sales and networking techniques.
  * Support day-to-day sales and marketing activity.
  * Develop your understanding of the Leasing and Business Development industry.
  * Work towards progressing from a Trainee position into a fully-fledged Business Development role.
Your Background & Skills
Experience isn't everything for this role – personality and attitude are key.
We're looking for someone who is:
  * Driven, energetic and ambitious.
  * Naturally confident and comfortable speaking to people.
  * A genuine people person who enjoys building relationships.
  * Hungry to develop a successful career.
  * Positive, enthusiastic and willing to learn.
  * Hardworking and prepared to earn progression rather than simply expect it.
  * A strong team player who wants to fit into a successful team.
  * Organised with good communication skills.
Previous sales experience would certainly be advantageous, but applications from candidates with a customer service background will also be considered if they demonstrate the right energy, personality and ambition.
What's On Offer?
  * £25,000 Basic Salary
  * £35,000–£40,000 OTE in Year 1
  * 23 days' holiday plus bank holidays
  * Approximately 9–12 months' training to progress towards moving away from the Trainee role.
  * Opportunity to attend networking events and client visits.
  * Hands-on exposure to Business Development and relationship building.
  * Clear opportunity for career progression.
  * Potential to earn £60,000+ after 2–4 years, depending on individual performance and progression.
  * Long-term career opportunity within Leasing and Business Development.
  * Full training and support provided.
This isn't simply a trainee position – it's an opportunity to build a career.
If you're energetic, ambitious, naturally good with people and want to develop yourself within Leasing and Business Development, we'd love to hear from you.
