About Business Show Media
Business Show Media is an international events company that delivers business exhibitions across London, New York, Miami, Amsterdam, Sydney, and Singapore. Our events connect entrepreneurs, SMEs, and industry leaders, helping businesses grow through networking, education, and commercial opportunities.
We're looking for a motivated Business Development Associate to support the continued growth of our North American events portfolio by identifying new business opportunities and introducing companies to our international exhibitions.
The Role
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a career in business development and consultative sales.
As a Business Development Associate, you'll generate new business opportunities through outbound prospecting, LinkedIn networking, email outreach, and relationship building. You'll identify businesses that could benefit from exhibiting at our events, qualify opportunities, and build a strong sales pipeline.
You'll receive comprehensive sales training, ongoing coaching, and clear opportunities to progress into senior sales and account management roles.
Whether you already have some sales experience or are looking to start a long-term career in business development, we'll provide the training and support to help you succeed.
Key Responsibilities
- Generate new business opportunities through outbound prospecting.
- Build relationships with business owners and senior decision-makers.
- Engage prospective exhibitors via LinkedIn, email, and telephone.
- Identify businesses that would benefit from exhibiting at our international events.
- Manage and develop your own sales pipeline.
- Work closely with senior sales colleagues to maximise opportunities.
- Develop knowledge of multiple international markets.
- Contribute to the continued growth of our North American events portfolio.
About You
We're looking for someone who is motivated, proactive, and eager to develop a successful career in sales.
Ideally, you'll have:
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Confidence speaking with business professionals.
- A relationship-focused and naturally curious approach.
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Resilience, self-motivation, and a positive attitude.
- An interest in business, entrepreneurship, and international markets.
Previous sales or business development experience is beneficial but not essential, as full training and ongoing coaching will be provided.
What We Offer
- £26,000–£29,000 base salary (depending on experience).
- Uncapped commission with realistic first-year OTE of £50,000–£70,000.
- Comprehensive onboarding and structured sales training.
- Ongoing coaching and professional development.
- Clear progression into Senior Business Development and Account Management roles.
- Opportunities to attend international exhibitions.
- A collaborative and supportive team environment.
- Regular incentives, team events, and recognition programmes.
- Long-term career development within an international events business.
