Business Development Representative
Location: Dartford, Kent – Office Based
Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission
Commission: Monthly, Quarterly & Annual Bonus Opportunities
Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time
The Opportunity
Cooper Lomaz is recruiting for an experienced and commercially driven Business Development Representative to join a major global organisation with an exceptional reputation and an established, highly recognised brand within its market.
Our client is a leading international provider of print, graphics, signage, visual communications and bespoke production solutions, supporting businesses across a wide range of commercial sectors.
This is an exciting opportunity for a proven new-business salesperson who enjoys identifying opportunities, opening doors and converting prospects into long-term customers.
With the backing of a globally established business, an extensive range of products and services, and an excellent reputation in the market, you'll have the tools, credibility and support needed to succeed.
This is a genuine new-business development role. We're looking for someone who thrives on winning new customers rather than simply managing existing accounts.
The Role
Based at the company's Dartford operation, you'll be responsible for identifying, developing and securing new business opportunities across a broad range of industries.
You'll have the freedom to develop new territories, target prospective customers and build your own pipeline, supported by experienced internal teams covering design, estimating, project management and production.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
Proactively identifying and developing new business opportunities through outbound sales activity.
-
Researching prospective customers, identifying key decision-makers and opening new commercial relationships.
-
Building and managing your own sales pipeline across targeted industries and territories.
-
Generating opportunities through telephone prospecting, LinkedIn, networking, referrals and direct outreach.
-
Conducting initial customer meetings, understanding requirements and identifying potential solutions.
-
Developing opportunities across print, graphics, signage, environmental branding, exhibitions, displays and bespoke production services.
-
Working closely with internal design, estimating and production teams to develop commercially attractive solutions.
-
Progressing opportunities through the sales cycle and converting prospects into revenue-generating customers.
-
Maintaining accurate CRM records, pipeline forecasts and sales activity.
-
Working towards annual revenue targets in the region of £500,000, with performance rewarded through an attractive commission structure.
About You
We're looking for a confident, ambitious and results-driven salesperson who genuinely enjoys the challenge of winning new business.
You'll ideally have:
-
A proven background in B2B sales, business development or new-business acquisition.
-
Experience generating opportunities through proactive outbound prospecting and cold calling.
-
A demonstrable track record of achieving challenging sales and revenue targets.
-
The confidence to engage with senior decision-makers and build relationships from an initial introduction.
-
Strong commercial awareness, negotiation and communication skills.
-
The ability to identify customer requirements and develop commercially viable solutions.
-
A resilient, self-motivated approach and the determination to turn prospects into customers.
-
Experience managing your own sales pipeline, territory and sales activity.
-
The ambition and confidence to work towards annual revenue targets of approximately £500,000.
Previous experience within print, signage, graphics, manufacturing, production or related B2B service sectors would be advantageous, but is not essential.
We're equally interested in speaking with successful new-business salespeople from other industries who can demonstrate a consistent record of winning customers and generating revenue.
Above all, you'll be someone who enjoys the commercial challenge, isn't afraid to pick up the phone and takes genuine satisfaction from securing new business.
What's on Offer?
-
£40,000 – £50,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
-
Uncapped commission structure with monthly, quarterly and annual earning opportunities.
-
The opportunity to join a large, globally established organisation with an outstanding reputation.
-
An extensive portfolio of products and services to offer prospective customers.
-
An established brand and strong operational infrastructure to support your sales activity.
-
The autonomy to develop new business opportunities and build your own customer portfolio.
-
Genuine opportunities for career development and increased earnings.
-
A supportive, commercially focused team environment.
Location: This is an on-site position based in Dartford, Kent. Applicants must be able to commute to and work from the company's premises.
