Business Development Manager

• Are you an ambitious Sales or Purchasing professional with a great eye for a deal and good commercial acumen? 
• Are you looking for a role that offers uncapped earning potential (and I mean REALLY significant figures) based on your results? 
• Can you communicate effectively with everyone from the CEO of a large corporate to the guys and girls “on the spanners”?
• Do you like the sound of a role that provides excellent self-development and great job security? 
• Do you feel you work best when given an objective and left to use your skills, flair and initiative to get on with it?

If your answers are yes, then this could be just the role you’re looking for.

My client is a well-established business that provides sales and rentals of accessories and consumables to businesses that use fork-lift trucks.  Theirs is a very lucrative market and there are excellent commissions and bonuses to be made. 

This independent business operates a relaxed environment where people are empowered to get on with it and are expected to bring in the results. They have a low turnover of staff and allow people to work with autonomy.  While support, shadowing and training will be given, the successful candidate will be somebody who learns quickly and can demonstrate a high degree of initiative and self-motivation.

The current GM is undertaking new projects and now needs somebody to support him in maintaining and increasing sales and profitability. 

• Existing accounts will be inherited so excellent account management skills are essential. 
• New business will need to be driven, so negotiation and deal-making skills are essential. 

Based in Cannock there will be some requirement to travel throughout the UK and Ireland on sales and service calls. 

Salary & Benefits: There is a basic salary of £20K + realistic first year OTE of £35K.  A company car and pension are provided, and additional employee benefits will be discussed based on length of service and results.  It is anticipated that years 3 and 4 should generate a realistic OTE in excess of £100K - £200K+. 

The role will involve:

• all aspects of sales and business development to include:
• prospecting and cold calling
• site visits and territory management
• 360° account management
• deal brokering and negotiation
• reporting to senior management team.

Selling or purchasing in a manufacturing, engineering or supply chain environment is an advantage but not essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity to earn some serious money while working with a relaxed, down-to-earth team, who know how to enjoy themselves as well as work hard.
