Demandr.co.uk | United Kingdom | Remote | Part-time or freelance
Help UK trades businesses find more customers. Are you confident speaking to business owners? Do you understand the UK home improvement, construction or trades industry?
Demandr is looking for a Business Development Executive to help grow our network of active tradespeople and home improvement companies across targeted UK regions.
Demandr is a lead marketplace connecting homeowners with local professionals, including roofers, plumbers, electricians, window and door installers, and landscaping businesses. Homeowners submit job requests, and suitable trades businesses can purchase opportunities that match their services and working areas.
Unlike traditional lead generation subscriptions, Demandr operates on a credit-based model with no compulsory monthly subscription for trades businesses. We are looking for someone who can build genuine relationships with tradespeople and help them make effective use of the platform.
How we will measure success
We do not measure success purely by the number of companies registered. We are looking for active trades businesses that complete onboarding, receive suitable opportunities, make relevant lead purchases and continue using Demandr. Quality, retention and commercial results matter more than raw sign-up numbers.
