Business Development, Field/Area Sales
Home Based
Posted 9 months ago
How would you like to sell cutting-edge technology in a market with no competitors? A product that can save customers millions of pounds in lost revenue, not to mention enforcing the quality and reputation of their brand. If this sounds interesting and you’re keen to take a role with no commission thresholds, then this role could be for you. We’re excited to be working with a unique PAAS (Product-as-a-Service) provider as they seek a business development manager to join their team, selling their unique product into the hospitality (specifically hotels) sector. This is a complex selling process that can take time, and as such an intelligent and motivated salesperson who is happy selling by video, phone and F2F is essential. As you will be required to travel and meet with clients regularly, the role is UK-centric but could require overseas travel from time to time. Applicants must have experience selling an ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) product into the hotel sector, and ideally PAAS or SAAS. Additionally you must also have experience of selling into multiple contact points such as GM, Operations and Procurement as the decisions makers, and decision making process can vary greatly. Candidates who do not have this experience will not be considered for the position. For 3 days in each of the first 2 weeks you will be office-based on a training course, following that, you would be based from home and travelling to their office in the south on average twice a month (occasionally 3 times when there is a quarterly review). You’ll likely have extensive experience already in a home-based position and be happy and motivated working in an autonomous role. Ideally, you will be located within 2.5 hours of London as this would often be an area you would attend on client visits. A little further could be considered but not remote areas such as the North East, Scotland, and the deep South West. The role will be fully supported with tech (laptop/phone), HubSpot, and sales LI navigator if wanted and used. For an initial period, you will get qualified leads from their SDR team, though I would add this is not a purely inbound position, and you will also be expected to self-generate leads. After some time, it’s expected that you will be so busy managing your pipeline that you will no longer need leads, as has been evident with other salespeople within the business. If this sounds like a position you could be interested in then please send us your CV today and if you have the required product and industry experience, we will be in touch quickly for a chat. Zero Surplus is one of the UK’s premier sales recruitment agencies, based just outside Cambridge. Our recruiters source staff for small and international businesses across Hertfordshire, Northants, Milton Keynes, Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK.

Anybody can enjoy selling, and get a buzz out of the deal. But it’s always much better if you can enjoy learning about the product and industry you are in, and as such rather than be a salesperson, be viewed as an influencer, a trader in audiences, able to connect leading international technology brands with the voices in their industry. And this is exactly what we need, a salesperson alone won’t be able to do this job. We need somebody intelligent and eager to learn, ideally who enjoys technology and science, somebody who can get their head around a varied digital portfolio and really understand what it can offer,  who it can reach, and in turn communicate this articulately. This position will be heading up the sales of a variety of digital products and marketing services reaching on niche scientific audiences across a portfolio of media/advertising brands. Targeting mainly Tier 1 businesses seeking engagement with scientists, technical experts and buyers across the globe. This is a highly consultative B2B media sales role and as such would suit candidates with previous experience of selling brand exposure/lead generation B2B marketing content services such as sponsorship, media and exhibitions. The products you will be selling could vary across branded content,  round tables, webinars, podcasts, data, email campaigns, banner advertising. You will be given a pool of existing clients where you will be targeted on renewals and growth, as well as a pool of previous clients from the past few years where you will be looking to re-book/re-engage their brands for future business, and as well as this you will also be required to target and close new business across set demographics of companies. This is a complex sell, sometimes with long sales cycles, and as such you must be professional, patient, articulate and most importantly willing to learn and get involved within the industries you will represent. This is a fantastic role with many benefits, such as international travel, and a relaxed and friendly working environment. The role is predominantly home based, and as such you will only be expected to attend the office 1 day per week in Cambridge. However there will be trips abroad required, so it may be that once a quarter you would travel to Europe for a tradeshow, and potentially visit the US for a large annual event. Applicants must be hard working self-starters, looking for a position that can offer real stability and great financial rewards. Due to their location this position is commutable from Ely, Peterborough, Cambridge, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Norwich, Royston, Bedford, St Ives, Huntingdon, Hitchin, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, Chelmsford, London and Ipswich.

Business Development, Field/Area Sales

Either you have experience selling B2B products/services face to face and are seeking a challenge at an organisation where it’s not a ‘sell sell sell’ set up and consultive approach is key. Or you have some sales experience and experience of the property sector and are keen to try something new. We’re working with a leading not for profit organisation that provides a legally required service for the property sector as they seek to grow and enhance their position within the industry. This is a new role servicing the East of England, and a patch covering Essex, Cambs, Herts, Beds, Norfolk & Suffolk. Based from home after an initial 3 week training course, you will be provided with a car and all the tools to build and grow your customer base. Expectation would be an average of 3 customer visits a day across the week, though it’s likely you would be at home a couple of days and doing 5 per day across 3. This is not a hard sales role, and it’s a product/service that property business must provide by law, your job is to educate the businesses on the product and advise why it’s better and different to the other market products, with the hope of them joining. As it’s not a hard sales role and you are working for a not for profit organisation there is not a huge commission package on offer, so whilst sales ability and motivation to operate a field based sales role is desired, the position will not suit people only motivated by money. It would much better suit salespeople motivated by service, and a role that isn’t cut hard sales where the doors for appointments are much easier to open. If you have face to face sales experience, some interest in the property sector, a full (Ideally clean) driving licence and live on or near to the region the position is covering we would love to speak with you. So please send us through your CV and if you have the right skills and experience we will be in touch. Please don’t delay getting in touch as we anticipate the role will be filled within a few weeks.
