I'm recruiting for a Business Development Advisor to join an established East Yorkshire business. This is a proactive, telephone-led position where you will research potential customers, build relationships and help identify new opportunities for the wider sales team.

Support targeted business development and marketing campaigns. Respond professionally to incoming enquiries and direct them to the right person. What We're Looking For We are looking for someone who is confident, commercially minded and happy to make proactive calls rather than waiting for the phone to ring. You will need: Previous telesales, lead generation or business development experience with a good telephone manner. A proven ability to build rapport and start conversations with new prospects. Strong follow-up and CRM skills to manage leads and track activity accurately. Good research, communication and organisation skills and a results-focused approach.
