Sales and Marketing Executive
Hayward Miller, Thetford, Norfolk
£30,000 starting salary (full-time, 40 hours)
Permanent
Why Hayward Miller?
This role suits someone who enjoys getting results for clients: finding the right people to talk to, winning them over, and turning a conversation into a meeting or a sale. You will work across a range of industries and build a broad commercial skillset that stands out in sales and marketing. Working alongside experienced colleagues from different backgrounds, you will pick up far more than you would in a single-sector role.
We pride ourselves on our values of integrity, respect and excellence. As a company that has supported over 300 businesses in the past 16 years, we offer clients a fully managed service focused on growth and retention. Work at Hayward Miller and you will gain a great deal more than just a job.
Join Our Outsourced Sales Team
Do you enjoy opening doors and getting the right conversations started? At Hayward Miller, we are looking for a proactive Sales and Marketing Executive to join our team in Thetford, Norfolk. We are a small, close-knit team that is expanding, with a move to a larger office on the way, so it is a good time to join us.
As a leading outsourced sales company, we work with a varied portfolio of clients across many sectors. This is a role for someone who can research a market, find the right prospects, reach out across email, social and phone, and turn interest into meetings, opportunities and sales for our clients.
The Role
Working closely with our Marketing Manager and alongside the marketing and telemarketing teams, you will drive the front end of the sales process for a range of clients. You will research and build target lists, run outreach across digital channels and the phone, follow up properly, and progress conversations towards a meeting, an opportunity or a sale.
It is a proactive role for someone comfortable picking up the phone, but it is not scattergun. We research, plan and target who we approach, so you are calling people who might genuinely need what our clients offer, not working through a random list.
Key Responsibilities
- Researching target markets and building qualified prospect lists
- Reaching out to prospects across email and LinkedIn
- Picking up the phone to open conversations and follow up on interest
- Writing outreach messages and scripts that get a reply, not templated filler
- Qualifying prospects and booking meetings for clients
- Progressing opportunities towards a sale
- Keeping prospect and campaign data accurate and up to date
- Working alongside the telemarketing and marketing teams to feed and follow up campaigns
- Tracking your activity and results, and reporting on what is working
What We're Looking For
Essential Requirements:
- Happy to pick up the phone and make outbound calls, comfortable starting conversations with people you have not met
- Self-starting and genuine, the sort of person people actually want to talk to, not a scripted sales act
- A strong writer, able to produce outreach that sounds human and gets a reply
- Well organised, able to manage a pipeline and follow up without letting things slip
- Resilient and strategic, you keep at it and put research and planning into who you approach, rather than working scattergun
- Comfortable using digital tools to find and reach prospects
- Comfortable using LinkedIn for professional outreach, with an active profile or the willingness to build one
Desirable (not essential):
- Any experience in a phone-based or customer-facing role, such as telemarketing, customer service or retail
- Experience with outreach and prospecting tools such as Woodpecker, Apollo or similar, or quick to learn them
- Comfortable using AI tools such as Claude as an aid for research and organising your work
- A UK driving licence and own transport. The office has free on-site parking but is not on a direct public transport route, so getting here easily matters
- A genuine grasp of what makes sales effective, and how good marketing supports it
What We Offer
- Starting salary of £30,000 (full-time, 40 hours)
- Full-time, Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm (40 hours per week)
- 28 days holiday including bank holidays
- Company pension scheme
- Full training and ongoing support to help you develop
- A clear pathway into more senior sales and marketing roles for strong performers
- Free on-site parking
- A team small enough that your work is noticed, with plenty of experience around you to learn from
