Business Development Executive – Financial Solutions
Location: Poole (Hybrid – 2 days in-office)
Salary: £35,000–£40,000 + Uncapped Commission (OTE £80,000)
Are you a driven and articulate sales professional ready to take your career to the next level?
Join a market-leading financial solutions provider which, due to continued growth, is looking for a Business Development Executive to help expand its client base by identifying and targeting new sectors and new business opportunities.
With over 30 years of experience and the backing of a major financial institution, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and turning new opportunities into long-term clients.
The Role
As a Business Development Executive, you will play a key role in expanding the business into new markets and sectors. You will be responsible for identifying potential opportunities, generating new business and building relationships with senior decision-makers.
You will:
- Identify and target new sectors and markets where the company's financial solutions can add value.
- Proactively prospect for new clients and develop opportunities from initial contact through to conversion.
- Build a strong pipeline of new business using a database of 9,000 potential clients alongside your own research and networking.
- Engage with professionals and senior decision-makers, both over the phone and in person.
- Attend industry events, conferences and client meetings to raise the company's profile and generate new opportunities.
- Develop long-term relationships with new clients and identify opportunities to grow those relationships.
- Understand clients' needs and provide tailored financial solutions, including tax liability loans, VAT funding and professional indemnity insurance.
- Consistently work towards ambitious new business and revenue targets.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a confident, commercially minded new business salesperson who enjoys prospecting, networking and creating opportunities rather than simply managing an existing client base.
You’ll ideally have:
- Proven experience in a B2B business development or sales environment, with a genuine appetite for winning new business.
- The confidence and ability to engage senior professionals and decision-makers.
- A proactive approach to identifying and targeting new sectors, markets and prospects.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- A self-motivated, enthusiastic and results-driven approach.
- The resilience and persistence required for proactive outbound sales.
- A willingness to network, attend events and build professional relationships.
- Experience in a high-volume call environment (40–50 calls per day) is advantageous but not essential.
- Candidates from a range of sectors will be considered, including recruitment, banking, estate agency and other B2B sales environments.
You’ll be based locally, for example Poole, Wimborne, Blandford or Salisbury, with flexibility to travel to London, Manchester and Southampton for training, networking and events.
What’s on Offer
- Hybrid working: Minimum two days per week in the Poole office.
- Earnings: £35,000–£40,000 basic salary + uncapped commission, with OTE of £80,000.
- 8% contributory pension.
- 28 days annual leave, plus Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve off.
- Private Medical Insurance (TBC).
- Excellent opportunities for career progression within a well-established and growing financial services business.
- The opportunity to make a genuine impact by helping to identify and develop new sectors and revenue streams.
If you’re a proactive B2B salesperson who enjoys finding new opportunities, opening doors and winning new business, this could be an excellent next step for you.
