About Forty Four Maps
Forty Four Maps is a specialist design studio creating illustrated visitor maps, signage and wayfinding systems for holiday estates, visitor attractions, events and large venues.
Our maps help guests understand complex sites, locate facilities and navigate confidently across websites, welcome materials, printed guides and on-site signage.
We are building a focused client base across the UK and are looking for a commercially minded business-development partner to help identify suitable prospects, start conversations and introduce qualified opportunities.
The role
You will research and contact organisations that could benefit from professionally designed visitor maps and wayfinding.
Likely prospects include:
- Holiday estates and lodge parks
- Visitor attractions
- Heritage destinations
- Gardens and farm parks
- Events and showgrounds
- Wedding and accommodation estates
This is not a high-volume generic telesales role. The service is specialist, visual and project-based, so outreach must be thoughtful, relevant and professional.
Your primary objective will be to identify suitable organisations, reach the correct decision-maker and arrange a qualified introduction or consultation with the studio founder.
Responsibilities
- Research organisations with outdated, unclear or inadequate visitor maps
- Identify relevant decision-makers in marketing, operations or guest experience
- Make initial contact by telephone, email or LinkedIn
- Explain the commercial purpose of Forty Four Maps clearly
- Qualify prospects based on need, timing, budget and decision-making authority
- Arrange introductory calls for qualified prospects
- Maintain accurate records of conversations and follow-ups
- Represent the studio professionally and avoid unsolicited mass-spam tactics
- Provide feedback on recurring objections and market response
Ideal candidate
You may be suitable for this role if you:
- Communicate confidently by telephone and email
- Are persistent without being aggressive
- Can hold natural conversations with business owners and managers
- Understand consultative or project-based sales
- Are comfortable researching prospects independently
- Can recognise when a business has a genuine operational need
- Are organised and reliable with follow-ups
- Have experience in hospitality, tourism, events, signage, print, design or B2B sales
Previous sales experience would be beneficial but is less important than professionalism, initiative and strong communication.
Commission structure
- 10% commission on projects introduced and closed
- 15% commission where you manage the opportunity through to an agreed proposal
- Commission calculated on the project fee excluding external printing or production costs
- Commission payable after the client’s deposit has cleared
- No commission payable on cancelled, refunded or unpaid projects
Typical project values may range from approximately £1,000 to £4,500+, depending on scope.
Higher commission or repeat-client arrangements may become available following consistent performance.
What we provide
- Clear service and pricing information
- Portfolio examples and case studies
- Defined target-customer profiles
- Email and telephone guidance
- Prospect qualification criteria
- Proposal and sales support
- A CRM for tracking leads and conversations
- Founder-led project consultations and closing support
Important expectations
All communication must be personalized and accurate. Applicants must not:
- Send mass automated spam
- Misrepresent themselves as employees or directors
- Promise discounts or delivery dates without approval
- Make unsupported claims about commercial outcomes
- Contact businesses repeatedly after they have declined
The reputation of Forty Four Maps is more important than raw outreach volume.
How to apply
Please submit:
- A short introduction
- Any relevant sales, hospitality, tourism or business-development experience
- An example of how you would approach a holiday estate with an outdated visitor map
- Your availability
- Whether you prefer appointment setting, full sales development or both.
Pay: £1.00-£120,000.00 per year
Work Location: Remote
