About the role
Citytalk Group is expanding its security sales team and we're looking for a driven, technically-minded salesperson to join us. This is a true hunter role — you'll be out opening doors, prospecting relentlessly and winning new business, not simply managing accounts that land on your desk. You'll build relationships with new and existing clients and turn leads into sales. Security is your core focus, but you'll also have the chance to cross-sell across our Voice & Data, IT and Media/Software product lines.
What you'll be doing
- Proactively hunting down new business — identifying and opening up opportunities with prospective security customers rather than waiting for them to come to you
- Self-generating and continually growing your own pipeline; this role is about the chase, not just managing what's already on the books
- Converting leads passed on by our desk-based teams and wider staff into real opportunities, on top of what you generate yourself
- Researching customer requirements and matching them to the right solution across our full product range
- Protecting margin — every solution you sell needs to be commercially sound as well as technically right
- Working closely with the Security Director to build deep product knowledge and stay ahead of where the market's heading
- Keeping our CRM up to date with every customer interaction
- Hitting monthly targets and KPIs.
What we're looking for
- A genuine hunter mentality — you're energised by prospecting and winning new logos, not just farming existing relationships
- A track record of sales success within the electronic/physical security field, with strong communication and negotiation skills
- Confidence generating your own leads from scratch and managing a pipeline end-to-end
- Strategic thinking — someone who can plan ahead and spot problems before they land
- Self-motivated, but a genuine team player
- Comfortable working under pressure to hit deadlines and targets
- Familiarity with quality standards such as NSI Accreditation, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 is a plus
- A full, valid driving licence (required)
- 3+ years' sales experience in the industry preferred
What's in it for you
- Uncapped commission on top of a realistic £45k+ OTE in year one
- Company car or car allowance
- Company-wide incentive scheme, including an achievable annual holiday abroad
- Gym membership and health insurance
- Company pension and employee discounts
- Monday to Friday — and you'll never work your birthday
