Vacancy Detail
Business Development Manager
We don't need you to have industry experience. We want your fresh views, a fresh pair of eyes, and your new perspective. You'll be the next generation in the printing and graphics industry.
You're going to be joining an industry that you probably had no idea existed, but I can't tell you how cool and vital to global brands the print industry is. Think window displays, vehicle branding, exhibition stands, shop signage, gorilla marketing and viral campaigns in printed form. There so much to this space.
So whilst industry knowledge isn't needed, sales experience is. Everything technical that you need to know can be taught. What can't be taught is resilience, questioning, listening and then actioning.
You'll have a fantastic opportunity to drive this very well-respected business forward. You will be coming into the business with a 6 week induction. You'll spend time with Production, Studio, Client Services and back office to have a thorough understanding as to what each division does for the bigger picture. Armed with that information and holistic approach you'll be integrated into the sales team.
Yes, new business will be expected but all in good time. You'll be handed inbound leads, old clients, low spending clients to cut your teeth into the industry. This is very much a relationship sell and building rapport, trust and expertise is essential. There's an appreciation from your new employer that this will take time, you've got to be patient with it too.
You'll be out visiting clients, so you've got to be prepared to be client facing and in person selling (It's all business to business) but when not out and about, you do have to be based on site. So when getting in touch, you need to ensure that you can get to Harlow.
This is a proven onboarding and talent strategy, it works. You'll be one of 3, maybe 4 new people into the business. That buzz, that learning journey you can all be on together. You'll be given everything you need to be a huge success, you just need to bring the drive and the attitude.
You'll have a base salary and a very competitive commission structure alongside realistic targets and expectations.
If this sounds exciting, then please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
