Sales Manager

Salary - Circa £45,000 + Uncapped Commission

Location: Sutton Coldfield but National travel

Our client. a high‑growth recruitment investment business is looking for a Sales Manager to help experienced recruiters take the leap into business ownership. Every year, exceptional recruiters reach the same crossroads: they’re brilliant at what they do, tired of building someone else’s business, and wondering whether they’re brave enough to build their own. This role exists for that moment.

You’ll be the person who finds those individuals, understands what’s holding them back, and helps them see what’s genuinely possible when they have the right backing, platform and support.

This is not a desk‑bound sales job. It’s relationship‑led, human, and rooted in trust.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Proactively identifying and engaging experienced recruiters ready—or nearly ready—to set up on their own
• Using all channels: social media, phone, email and face‑to‑face outreach
• Creating and managing multi‑platform social campaigns (LinkedIn, Instagram and more) that generate warm, qualified leads
• Writing sharp, creative content that speaks directly to recruiters weighing up self‑employment
• Getting out from behind the screen: networking, events, meetings and industry gatherings
• Building authentic, trust‑first relationships rather than running a transactional sales process
• Understanding each person’s motivations, fears and ambitions, and tailoring conversations accordingly
• Confidently articulating the commercial and lifestyle case for partnership
• Guiding prospects through their decision with patience, honesty and genuine belief in their potential
• Managing a pipeline from first conversation to signed partnership, without losing the personal touch
• Representing the brand as a credible, trusted voice in the recruitment community

What We’re Looking For

• Proven success in sales, business development or relationship‑led roles
• Recruitment sector experience is a strong advantage
• Strong creative writing skills with the ability to produce engaging, credible content
• Hands‑on experience building and managing multi‑platform social campaigns
• Comfortable generating leads both online and in person
• Outstanding emotional intelligence and the ability to read people quickly
• Sharp commercial instincts and confidence discussing business ownership, P&Ls and growth
• Self‑motivated, resilient and comfortable owning a pipeline independently
• Organised, disciplined and able to prioritise a busy, relationship‑driven workload
• A confident, articulate communicator—one‑to‑one or presenting to a room
• Excellent presentation skills and the gravitas to influence experienced professionals
• Natural charisma and a genuine belief in helping people be braver about their careers

Why Join

• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission
• The chance to change people’s lives and careers—not just hit a number
• A close‑knit, ambitious team building something genuinely different in the recruitment space
