The Black Diamond – Northampton

About The Black Diamond

The Black Diamond is a large, licensed function and events venue in Northampton with a fantastic space capable of hosting a wide range of private, corporate and community events.

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Venue Sales & Business Development Manager to take responsibility for increasing the number of events and bookings at the venue.

This is a sales role, not simply an events coordination position.

We need someone who knows how to find potential customers, make contact, develop relationships, arrange venue visits and turn enquiries and prospects into confirmed bookings.

The Role

You will be responsible for actively generating new business and increasing revenue from our function and events space.

You will identify and target businesses, organisations, groups and individuals who could use The Black Diamond for their events.

Your responsibilities will include:

Proactively finding new customers and generating leads
Making outbound sales calls and contacting prospective clients
Developing relationships with local and regional businesses
Selling venue hire for corporate and private events
Following up enquiries and converting them into bookings
Arranging and conducting venue viewings
Preparing quotations and proposals
Negotiating with customers and closing sales
Developing repeat business and long-term client relationships
Building a strong sales pipeline
Networking with local businesses and organisations
Identifying new markets and opportunities for the venue
Promoting the venue to companies, clubs, societies and community organisations
Working with the management team to maximise available dates
Maintaining accurate records of leads, enquiries and bookings
Meeting agreed sales and revenue targets

Types of Business We Want You to Generate

We want someone who can think beyond traditional parties and weddings.

Potential business includes:

Corporate meetings and conferences
Training and seminar days
Networking events
Weddings and receptions
Birthday and anniversary celebrations
Funerals and wakes
Charity events
Awards evenings
Exhibitions and trade events
Markets and fairs
Clubs and societies
Dance and fitness classes
Community events
Product launches
School and college events
Private parties
Regular daytime venue hire

About You

We are looking for someone with proven experience in sales and business development, ideally within hospitality, events, hotels, conference centres, function venues or a similar environment.

You should be:

An experienced salesperson with a proven track record of winning new business
Confident making outbound calls and approaching new customers
Commercially minded and target-driven
Excellent at building relationships
Confident negotiating and closing deals
Self-motivated and able to work independently
Professional and personable
Persistent and highly organised
Comfortable meeting business owners and decision-makers
Able to identify opportunities rather than waiting for enquiries to arrive

Previous experience in venue sales is highly desirable.

Experience in any of the following would be particularly valuable:

Most Important Requirement

You must be able to demonstrate that you have personally generated new business.

We are not looking for someone whose previous role was primarily administering events that had already been booked.

We want a hunter — someone who enjoys finding opportunities, making the call, getting the meeting, showing the venue and closing the booking.

What We Offer

£28,000–£35,000 basic salary depending on experience
Commission scheme linked to new business generated
Full-time permanent position
Significant opportunity to develop the role
A fantastic venue with substantial potential for growth
Freedom to develop your own sales strategy
Support from the management team
Opportunity to build a significant personal client portfolio

How to Apply

Please send your CV along with a brief explanation of:

1. Your previous experience selling venues, events or hospitality services.

2. An example of new business you personally generated.

3. How you would approach generating new bookings for The Black Diamond.

Candidates who can demonstrate a strong track record of new business generation and venue sales will be prioritised.

Pay: £28,000.00-£35,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Employee discount
On-site parking
Profit sharing
Referral programme

Work Location: In person
