Our client is one of the pioneers in world class automotive ecommerce solutions. They are a leading business in their field and looking to add a Business Development Executive to their sales team who will be responsible for generating opportunities with Dealership groups across the country. The role is an exciting opportunity for someone wanting to develop a sales career within a forward thinking business who are leading their industry. 

The role will focus on;

• Generating new business opportunities
• Managing inbound enquiries
• Carrying out market research
• Ensuring data capture and maintenance of our CRM system
• Developing your outbound ‘telesales’ skills
• Networking within industry
• Regular reporting and analysis on performance and productivity to present in team meetings
• Prospecting, planning and forecasting

The role would be suited to a candidate who is a self starter; confident and able to establish relationships. Ideally the right candidate would have a sales background but more importantly the right candidate will be hungry to succeed; able to handle objections and highly motivated. A background in Automotive or SaaS based sales would be an advantage but full training will be provided. The role is focused on quality of calls and appointments set as opposed to total call number; and you will work closely with the BDM team to ensure targets are hit. 

On offer is an attractive salary of £25,000 per annum with uncapped commission. OTE for Year 1 will be an additional £5,000 - £7,000 per annum taking into account the relevant training period but as it is not capped this can substantially more depending on performance. Year 2 and onwards OTE would be expected to be £10,000 - £15,000 per annum additionally. The role will be based remotely working Monday - Friday; 9am - 5.30pm. They do have offices in Birmingham and Kent and so any office based meetings would take place at the nearest location. 

The company can offer an excellent working environment with real opportunity to progress. They ideally would aim for this person to move into a BDM role within 12-18 months and with that comes additional earning opportunities. Additionally there is an attractive pension plan; 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off.
