Business Development & Sales Consultants: UK-Wide (Remote & Performance-Based) in Birmingham

This opportunity is for experienced beauty, skincare and cosmetics sales professionals who are confident generating new business and converting commercial relationships into revenue. Our client, a growing international beauty business specialising in premium Korean skincare, haircare and beauty innovation, is expanding its UK commercial presence and is seeking experienced Territory Business Development & Sales Consultants to develop new B2B relationships and grow sales across defined UK territories. This is not an entry-level sales opportunity. Candidates should already understand how to prospect, open doors, build buyer relationships and close business.

About the Opportunity

This role is offered on a self-employed contractor basis and operates as a performance-based commercial engagement. You will be responsible for developing new business within an agreed UK territory, building commercial relationships and generating sales. You will represent a growing portfolio of carefully selected Korean beauty, skincare and haircare products. We are particularly interested in candidates who have already worked commercially within the beauty, skincare, cosmetics, haircare, aesthetics or related sectors and have established relationships and networks that they can begin developing from the outset.

Application Process — Please Read Carefully

Your application must include:

• Your CV
• A short covering letter
• Full answers to all mandatory qualifying questions below within your covering letter

Mandatory Qualifying Questions — All Must Be Answered

• Which UK territory or territories can you realistically cover confidently in person?
• How many years of sales or business development experience do you have within beauty, skincare, cosmetics, haircare, aesthetics or a closely related sector?
• Which types of beauty, retail or professional accounts have you personally opened or converted?
• Do you currently have existing relationships with relevant buyers, retailers, salons, clinics, spas, pharmacies, distributors or other beauty-sector decision-makers? If yes, please briefly describe your network.
• Please provide one example of a new account you personally identified and successfully converted into a paying customer.
• Are you confident prospecting, presenting, negotiating and closing new business independently?
• Are you comfortable travelling within your territory and meeting prospective customers in person where commercially appropriate?
• This opportunity is offered on a self-employed, commission and performance-based basis with no base salary or retainer. Please confirm explicitly that you understand and are comfortable with this structure.

Applications that do not include answers to all mandatory qualifying questions will not be reviewed.

Role Structure & Remuneration

This is a self-employed, commission and performance-based opportunity. There is no base salary or retainer. In return, the client offers a very generous, uncapped commission structure, including the opportunity to benefit from both new business generated and eligible repeat business from accounts you successfully develop. There are also additional performance-based earning opportunities, including an annual bonus linked to commercial success. Full remuneration details will be discussed with shortlisted candidates.

This opportunity is designed for experienced sales professionals who are confident in their ability to generate business and prefer the potential of performance-led reward.

Key Responsibilities

• Identifying and developing new B2B sales opportunities
• Building relationships with relevant buyers, business owners and decision-makers
• Conducting proactive field-based business development within your territory
• Presenting relevant beauty, skincare and haircare products professionally
• Developing new customer accounts
• Managing commercial follow-up and progressing opportunities
• Converting opportunities into confirmed sales
• Developing strong, long-term customer relationships
• Supporting repeat business and account growth
• Maintaining accurate records of commercial opportunities and progress
• Providing relevant market and customer insight
• Representing the client and its partner brands professionally

This is a results-led commercial opportunity. The focus is on creating genuine buyer interest, converting opportunities and developing valuable customer relationships.

Who This Opportunity Is For

You are likely to be a strong fit if you:

• Have proven sales or business development experience within beauty, skincare, cosmetics, haircare, aesthetics or a closely related sector
• Have an existing network of relevant commercial relationships that you can credibly begin engaging
• Have personally generated and converted new business rather than only managing inherited accounts
• Understand how to prospect and open new commercial accounts
• Are confident approaching and developing relationships with buyers and business owners
• Are comfortable conducting field-based business development and meeting prospective customers in person
• Have strong commercial instincts and know how to progress opportunities towards a sale
• Are confident representing premium products and brands
• Are organised, self-directed and comfortable working autonomously
• Are motivated by performance-led earnings
• Are comfortable working on a self-employed contractor basis

Existing relationships or networks across beauty retail, salons, spas, aesthetics clinics, hair and scalp businesses, pharmacies, distributors, department stores or other relevant channels will be considered a strong advantage. We are looking for candidates who can bring both sector knowledge and genuine commercial relationships, rather than individuals looking to enter beauty sales for the first time. This opportunity is offered as a self-employed contractor engagement and is not a salaried employment position. If you have the network, commercial confidence and drive to build business, we would like to hear from you.
