Business Development Manager – Estate Agency
Location: Coventry, West Midlands
Hours: Part-Time – 25 hours per week
Working: Office-based
Career Progression: Opportunity to progress into a full-time Business Development Manager role
Are you a people person who loves a good conversation and is motivated by success?
We are looking for an ambitious, confident and commercially driven Business Development Manager to join our growing independent estate agency in Coventry.
This is an office-based role for someone who genuinely enjoys speaking to people, building relationships and creating new business opportunities.
Your main focus will be to build and maintain strong relationships with our existing landlords, reconnect with previous landlords, and proactively reach out to new landlords and property owners to introduce our services and win new business.
We want someone who enjoys picking up the phone, having conversations, asking questions, understanding people's needs and turning those conversations into long-term business relationships.
Most importantly, you should enjoy winning.
If you're motivated by targets, commission, personal achievement and seeing the results of your hard work reflected in your earnings, this could be the role for you.
Your Role
You will become an important part of our growth strategy, helping us increase our landlord portfolio and expand our presence across Coventry.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Building and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with our existing landlords.
- Regularly speaking with landlords to understand their needs and identify opportunities to provide additional services.
- Reaching out to new landlords and property owners to introduce our estate agency and lettings services.
- Following up with potential landlords and turning conversations into appointments and new business.
- Reconnecting with previous clients and dormant landlord leads.
- Generating new opportunities through proactive calling, networking and relationship building.
- Booking valuation and market appraisal appointments.
- Winning new lettings and property management instructions.
- Identifying landlords who may be looking to sell, let or expand their property portfolios.
- Maintaining an organised pipeline and consistently following up opportunities.
- Working closely with the wider team to convert opportunities into instructions.
- Tracking your results and working towards agreed targets.
- Representing our brand professionally and building our reputation within the local landlord community.
We're Looking For Someone Who...
We're not necessarily looking for someone with years of estate agency experience.
We're looking for the right personality and attitude.
You could come from estate agency, recruitment, sales, financial services, customer service, hospitality or another role where communication and relationships are important.
What matters most is that you:
- Enjoy talking to people.
- Are confident picking up the phone and starting conversations.
- Can build rapport quickly and genuinely enjoy getting to know people.
- Are naturally curious and good at asking questions.
- Are comfortable speaking to landlords and property investors.
- Are proactive rather than waiting for leads to come to you.
- Are motivated by money, targets and achievement.
- Have a competitive and entrepreneurial mindset.
- Are resilient and don't get discouraged by rejection.
- Are organised and good at following up.
- Can work independently and take ownership of your results.
- Want to develop a career rather than simply find another job.
- Have a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.
This Role Will Suit You If...
You get a buzz from having a great conversation with someone and turning that conversation into an opportunity.
You enjoy the challenge of "Where can I find the next landlord?"
You're the type of person who sees a target and wants to beat it.
You want your effort to have a direct impact on your earnings.
And you want to work somewhere where your success is noticed, rewarded and can lead to progression.

- Competitive pro-rata basic salary
- Uncapped commission

- Ongoing training, coaching and mentoring
- Direct support from an ambitious senior leadership team
