Business Protection Sales Consultant

Manchester, City Centre | -40,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission | -75,000+ OTE

If -40k is where you start, not where you want to stay, keep reading.

UK Staffing Group are continuing our successful partnership with a fast-growing independent insurance brokerage in Manchester, and we''re looking for a genuinely commercial B2B sales professional to join their expanding Business Protection team.

This isn''t an account management role.

It isn''t a customer service role.

And it certainly isn''t a position for someone who is comfortable picking up their salary every month and doing enough to hit target.

This is a sales role for someone who wants to earn.

You''ll be speaking with business owners and professionals, identifying opportunities, having commercially focused conversations and taking prospects through a consultative sales process to generate new business.

The earning potential is significant because the commission is uncapped. The people who do well here are the ones who are hungry, competitive and genuinely motivated by what they can achieve.

What You''ll Be Doing

You''ll work with business owners and individuals to understand their circumstances, identify risks and recommend appropriate protection solutions.

You''ll be responsible for the full sales process, including:

• Developing and converting new business opportunities

• Having consultative conversations with business owners and professionals

• Conducting detailed fact-finds

• Understanding commercial and personal requirements

• Recommending appropriate protection solutions

• Presenting solutions and handling objections

• Following up consistently and professionally

• Negotiating and closing business

• Managing a busy pipeline and multiple opportunities at different stages

• Building long-term commercial relationships whilst maintaining a strong new-business focus

You''ll receive full training across areas including:

Business Protection | Key Person Protection | Shareholder Protection | Relevant Life | Life Insurance | Critical Illness | Income Protection

You don''t need previous insurance experience.

You do need to know how to sell.

Who We''re Looking For

We''re particularly interested in people who have built their sales career within regulated or professional services environments, where credibility, questioning, commercial awareness and the ability to build trust are essential.

You might currently be working in:

• Financial services

• Insurance

• Wealth management

• Mortgages

• Professional services

• Business consultancy

• Another regulated or commercially driven B2B environment

The industry background matters less than the quality of your sales ability.

We''re looking for someone who can demonstrate genuine experience of winning business rather than simply managing existing accounts.

You''ll need:

• Proven B2B sales experience

• A strong new-business / hunter mentality

• A track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets

• Experience working in a target-driven, high-volume environment

• Strong consultative selling skills

• The confidence to speak with business owners and senior professionals

• Excellent questioning and listening ability

• Commercial awareness and the ability to understand client needs

• Strong objection handling and closing skills

• Resilience and the ability to maintain momentum across a busy pipeline

• A professional and credible approach

• A genuine desire to maximise your earning potential

Most importantly, you need ambition.

If your motivation is simply to secure a -40k basic and have a comfortable job, this won''t be the right opportunity.

If you''re the type of salesperson who looks at a -40k basic and thinks, "Right, now show me what I can earn on top of it," we''d like to talk.

Why This Opportunity?

There''s already a successful business behind you, established processes, training and a strong proposition.

What we''re looking for is someone who can come in, learn the products and then make the opportunity their own.

The business is continuing to grow, and there is genuine scope to develop your career as you prove yourself.

High performers are recognised, rewarded and given opportunities to progress into more senior and specialist areas of the business.

And because commission is uncapped, your earnings aren''t artificially capped at the top of the salary band.

The more you achieve, the more you can earn.

What''s On Offer?

-40,000 basic salary

Uncapped commission

-75,000+ OTE

Significant earning potential for high performers

Full training across Business Protection and associated products

Hybrid working following training

Manchester City Centre office

Monday to Friday, no weekends

Early Friday finish

Regular incentives and high-achiever rewards

Clear internal progression opportunities

A growing, commercially focused business where performance is recognised

The Person We''re Looking For

We''re not looking for someone who simply wants to move into insurance.

We''re looking for an established salesperson who wants to make more money, have more responsibility and build on what they''ve already achieved.

You should be hungry for your next opportunity.

You should enjoy winning.

You should be comfortable picking up the phone, having commercially focused conversations and asking the questions other salespeople might avoid.

And you should want your earnings to reflect the level of effort, ability and results you bring to the table.

If you''re a proven B2B hunter from a regulated or professional services environment and you''re looking for an opportunity where -70k80k+ earnings are genuinely within reach, we''d like to hear from you.
