Business Development Executive

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.
