£30,000 - 35,000 base + uncapped commission | Progression | Long-term accounts
If you enjoy
building genuine relationships, becoming a trusted advisor and adding real value to clients, this is the perfect entry point into B2B sales.
This role is ideal for someone who wants more than just quick wins — you’ll be developing
long-lasting partnerships with businesses, helping them improve how they operate while growing your own portfolio.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for identifying new clients and guiding them through a consultative journey — understanding their needs, offering tailored solutions, and then continuing to support them long after the deal is closed.
This is a
relationship-led sales role, where success comes from trust, consistency and delivering ongoing value.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building strong, long-term relationships with business clients
- Acting as a trusted advisor, understanding customer challenges and offering tailored solutions
- Managing accounts post-sale to ensure satisfaction, retention and growth
- Identifying additional opportunities within your client base to increase value
- Working closely with clients to improve their processes and outcomes
- Developing your own portfolio of loyal, repeat customers
What Makes This Different
- You don’t just close deals — you own the relationship long-term
- You’ll build a portfolio that continues to generate income over time
- Success is driven by trust and client satisfaction, not just volume
- You will become a go-to person for your clients, not just another salesperson
What We’re Looking For
- A natural relationship builder who enjoys working with people
- Confident communicator who can build trust quickly
- Someone who listens, understands needs and adds value
- Driven and motivated, but more focused on quality than shortcuts
- Keen to build a long-term career in business development
What You’ll Get
- £30,000 - 35,000 base salary + uncapped commission (realistic £70,000+)
- Lifetime earning potential on accounts you manage
- Structured training and ongoing development
- Clear progression into senior and account management roles
- A supportive, collaborative team culture
Why Join? This is your chance to step into a role where your success is built on
relationships, reputation and long-term impact — not just short-term wins.
