As our Business Development Manager, you'll own a protected territory, selling our complete technology stack (Telecoms, IT, Cyber Security, Mobile) to SME and mid-market businesses. This isn't order-taking it's consultative selling that builds lasting partnerships.

- Consultative Selling: Run discovery calls and face-to-face meetings, present tailored solutions that solve real business challenges
- Closing Deals: Navigate complex B2B cycles with multiple stakeholders, handle objections, negotiate contracts, and close through value creation
- Account Growth: Cross-sell and upsell your client base, generate referrals, and build long-term strategic partnerships

- Thrives on cold outreach – picking up the phone, networking events, and creating opportunities
- Loves the challenge of breaking into new accounts and building relationships from zero
- Has at least 2 years of B2B sales experience selling telecoms, IT, or cyber security solutions, with consultative selling across complex multi-stakeholder sales cycles
- Is self-motivated and resilient – rejection doesn't phase you; it fuels you

Bonus points for:
- Track record of consistently opening new territories or markets
- Experience selling technology solutions to SMEs (20-500 employees)
- Experience negotiating contracts and closing deals with SME and mid-market clients

Benefits
What’s in it for you?
- Base salary: £30,000-£40,000 per year + £400/month car allowance (depending on experience)
- Real earning potential: No thresholds or limits – Industry Leading GP commission share + monthly accelerators
- Territory protection: Your accounts stay yours. We don't redistribute successful territories.
- Product training: Comprehensive onboarding on our full tech stack, plus ongoing education as we add new solutions.
- Flexible working: 2 days WFH after probation (performance-dependent), work from any UK office.
- Rewards: Annual incentive trips (2024: Ibiza), monthly team events, bonuses for exceeding target.
