Business Development Manager

📍 Location: near Birmingham circa 4 days a week remote
💼 up to £45k base + double OTE + benefits

Permanent

Are you waiting for dead man's shoes?

Rubbish data, no direction, poor whole business delivery or a heavy focus on the ones and twos.

What if you had a blank slate?

No garbage data, fresh challenge, new market, start-up environment,

How would you do it?

This is a chance to join something new and exciting. This means that some things will be a little bit fluid but you'll be working alongside the managing director to develop, sell and deliver niche IT services focusing on the legal and finance sectors.

I'm sure there are easier roles but with risk comes reward and here we can demonstrate a track record in progression from similar positions through to directorship.

What you'll be doing:

Selling high value, low volume solutions you'll be researching and developing sales outreach, marketing collateral, calling, emailing and networking with a variety of decision makers in the legal and finance world.

To do this you'll be exploring opportunities with new and existing accounts, attending networking and industry events, meeting decision makers and working in tandem with the technical managing director to design multi-million-pound solutions, highlighting efficiencies, showing cost savings and getting the sale over the line through consistently communicating with your customers

What you'll need:

Well firstly, you won't need a technical background as much of the technical do will be handled by the MD, this isn't a presales role and the MD will be hands on in both winning business and designing solutions. You won't really even need a background in IT or technical solutions, if say you've sold software solutions or something tech adjacent that that will help.

What you will need though, is a track record of sales delivery, including:

* Solutions sales

* Cold calling

* Market mapping

* In person networking

* Building a pipeline of opportunities

* Lead generation and qualification

Bonus points for any experience in

Obviously if you will be looking at growing into the legal or financial sectors, any background in selling into these industry niches would help in understand their pain points or understanding your ideal client profile. Similarly, selling software, managed services, telephony, print, cyber or other IT services including licenses or seats or working towards monthly or annually recurring revenue targets would be a benefit
