The opportunity
Our client is a growing UK technology business developing innovative AI and customer engagement solutions for organisations across a range of sectors.
The company is entering an exciting period of commercial growth and is now looking for a Business Development Executive to join its expanding sales operation.
This is a genuinely proactive new-business role. You will be responsible for identifying and engaging prospective customers, creating new sales opportunities and booking qualified meetings for the wider commercial team.
You'll work closely with senior commercial leadership in a small, ambitious team, giving you the opportunity to make a visible contribution rather than simply becoming another number in a large sales organisation.
The role

You won't be handed an entirely cold list and left to figure it out yourself. The business has already invested in building a researched database of target organisations, prioritised accounts and identified decision-makers.
Your job will be to turn that research into conversations.
You will use a combination of telephone, email and LinkedIn to introduce the business, understand potential customer requirements, qualify opportunities and secure meetings for the sales team. xsabvtc
