- Work closely with the commercial team, sharing market insight and contributing to team targets
About you
- Essential: Minimum 2-3 years’ experience in business development, sales or tele sales within the office fit-out, workspace or commercial furniture industry
- Existing knowledge of the market and its buyers, with contacts or a network you can build on
- Confident on the phone, and equally able to sell through LinkedIn and email
- A self-starter with the discipline to stay consistent and on top of your pipeline
