Norwich · Permanent
Love opening doors? Make the first hello count.
Our client is a fast-growing, independent premium brand based in Norwich, with a product people genuinely love and ambitious plans to grow. They’re expanding the team, and they’re looking for a Business Development Manager to be the first voice and the friendly face of the brand to brand-new customers.
This is a true hunter role at entry to mid level, ideal for someone with a natural gift for sales who wants to build a career with a brand that’s going places. You won’t be looking after existing accounts. Your job is to find new ones, get in front of decision-makers and win them over.
What you’ll be doing:
- Finding and opening doors with new customers across retail, hospitality, corporate and more
- Picking up the phone, writing the message and getting in the room to make that first impression count
- Building quick, genuine rapport with buyers and decision-makers, and turning conversations into new accounts
- Representing a brand people love, at calls, meetings and events
- Working closely with the sales team to hand over and grow the accounts you win
What we’re looking for:
- A natural hunter with real drive, energy and tenacity, who is proactive rather than reactive
- Someone articulate and endearing, who carries themselves well and builds rapport straight away
- Confidence on the phone and in front of decision-makers, and no fear of a “no”
- A track record of winning new business, or a natural sales gift that shows early promise
- Experience in a fast-paced sales environment is a plus, but attitude and personality matter most, and the right person will be trained
- A real connection with a brand that has a purpose beyond profit
Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 plus bonus and profit share
Location: Norwich, office-based
