About Online Lubricants
Online Lubricants is a well-established national supplier of lubricants, hydraulic oils, AdBlue and industrial fluids. With 32 years of trading history we supply businesses across construction, plant hire, transport, manufacturing, waste & recycling, power generation and engineering sectors.
We are expanding our commercial team and looking for a motivated Business Development Representative (BDR) to help drive new customer growth.
The Role
This is a new business sales role, not a customer service or order processing position.
You will focus on identifying new B2B customers, starting conversations with decision makers, generating quotations and converting prospects into repeat trading accounts.
Your initial product focus will be:
These are high-volume, repeat-purchase products that are straightforward to learn and offer excellent long-term account potential.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Making outbound calls to businesses across the UK.
- Identifying decision makers such as fleet managers, workshop managers, plant managers, procurement teams and business owners.
- Researching prospects and building targeted contact lists.
- Introducing Online Lubricants and identifying opportunities to switch supply.
- Preparing and following up quotations.
- Reactivating dormant customers from our extensive customer database.
- Updating CRM records and managing your sales pipeline.
- Working closely with our Key Account and Customer Service teams to deliver an excellent customer experience.
What Success Looks Like
You’ll receive a structured 12-week onboarding programme followed by ongoing coaching and product training.
Typical KPIs include:
- Consistent outbound prospecting activity.
- Decision-maker conversations.
- Quotations generated.
- Quote follow-up discipline.
- New customer accounts opened.
- Gross profit generated from new business.
We focus on quality conversations and profitable customer acquisition, not just call volume.
What We’re Looking For
Essential
- Previous experience in sales, telesales, internal sales, customer service or another customer-facing role.
- Confident telephone manner and strong communication skills.
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
- Self-motivated and target-driven.
- Organised with good attention to detail.
- Comfortable using CRM systems and Microsoft Office.
Desirable
- Experience in B2B sales.
- Knowledge of automotive, industrial, engineering or construction sectors.
- Experience speaking with trade or commercial customers.
What We Offer
- £15,000 basic salary.
- Uncapped commission structure.
- Realistic £18,000+ OTE in Year 1.
- Realistic £24,000+ OTE in Year 2.
- School-friendly working hours (9:30am–2:30pm).
- Monday–Friday only – no evenings or weekends.
- Hybrid working after successful completion of training.
- Structured 12-week onboarding programme.
- 6-month sales and product training pathway.
- 21 days annual leave pro-rated, increasing with length of service.
- Clear progression into Senior BDR, Business Development Manager and Key Account Management roles.
- A supportive, established business where your results are visible and recognised.
Why This Role Is Different
Many part-time roles are administrative or customer service based. This is a genuine B2B sales position with structured training, uncapped commission and a clear progression pathway.
You’ll be joining a company with a strong industry reputation, an established customer base and a genuine commitment to developing sales talent.
This role is particularly well suited to:
- Parents seeking school-friendly hours.
- Experienced sales professionals looking for better work-life balance.
- Candidates returning to work who want a commercial role with earning potential.
- Confident communicators who enjoy building relationships with business customers.
If you’re looking for a part-time B2B sales role where you can learn quickly, earn commission from day one and build a long-term career in commercial sales, we’d love to hear from you.
