Wolverhampton | Hybrid Working | Permanent
Are you a commercially driven Business Development professional who loves winning new business, building relationships and turning opportunities into results?
We’re recruiting for a well-established and highly regarded organisation looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to support its continued growth across the local market.
This is a genuine new business role where you’ll take ownership of identifying prospects, opening doors and developing opportunities through the full sales cycle. You’ll be engaging with business owners, MDs, CEOs and senior decision-makers, understanding their challenges and presenting solutions that deliver genuine value.
It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the buzz of developing their own pipeline, networking and getting out into the local business community – rather than simply managing an existing portfolio.
What you'll be doing
Identifying and developing new B2B opportunities across the region
Building and managing a strong pipeline of prospective customers
Proactively generating leads through telephone, digital outreach, networking, referrals and events
Holding consultative meetings with business owners and senior decision-makers
Understanding individual business needs and presenting a compelling value proposition
Preparing tailored proposals and commercial presentations
Managing opportunities through the full sales cycle from initial contact to close
Working towards agreed monthly and annual new-business targets
Attending networking events, exhibitions and business forums
Developing strong relationships across the local business community
Maintaining accurate CRM records, forecasts and pipeline information
Working closely with internal marketing and operational teams on targeted campaigns and lead generation
What we're looking for
You’ll be an experienced B2B salesperson or Business Development professional who is comfortable generating your own opportunities and taking ownership of results.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
Previous B2B sales, business development or commercial experience
A demonstrable track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets
Experience of developing your own pipeline and managing a full sales cycle
Confidence engaging with senior-level decision-makers
Strong consultative selling and closing skills
Excellent communication and presentation skills
The ability to understand a business need and tailor your approach accordingly
Good commercial awareness and the ability to identify new opportunities
Experience using CRM systems to manage activity and pipeline
A proactive, resilient and self-motivated approach
Experience selling business services, professional services, subscriptions or other intangible B2B solutions would be particularly relevant, although we're open to strong B2B sales backgrounds where you can demonstrate the ability to develop and win new business.
This role will involve travel across the region and occasional attendance at events or meetings outside standard office hours, so you'll need the flexibility to accommodate this.
If you're a confident new-business professional who enjoys developing relationships, opening doors and closing opportunities, we'd love to hear from you
