Job Description
Business Development Manager | £28k + Car + Uncapped Commission
Fancy a role where every "no" just means you're one step closer to a "yes"?
A well-established, family-run waste management business is on the hunt for a tenacious BDM to join their growing sales team, covering a patch in the East Midlands.
This isn't a role for the faint-hearted. You'll be out on the road, door-knocking, cold-calling, and building your own pipeline from scratch, then nurturing it through their shiny new CRM system. If you thrive on the thrill of the chase and don't take rejection personally, keep reading.
What you'll be doing:
Hunting down new business through cold calls and door knocks
Smashing (and re-smashing) monthly targets, managing your own pipeline
Becoming the go-to link between your customers and the internal team
Keeping the CRM sharp and up to date
Mucking in to support the wider sales team when neededWhat they're looking for:
Sales experience in waste management is a big plus, but a proven track record of selling contracted services and hitting targets matters more
Thick skin, you'll get told no, and you'll need to be fine with that
Social media savvy, if prospecting online isn't already second nature, it needs to be
Confident, articulate, and politely persistent, the kind of person who builds rapport without even trying
A team player with a genuine "can do" attitude and the drive to go the extra mileThe details:
£28,000 basic + industry-leading commission
Company car
Monday-Friday, 9-5 (with the flexibility this kind of role always demands)
Field-based, with occasional office time for sales meetings
Must hold a full UK driving licence and have 2+ years' field sales experienceIf you're relentless, resilient, and ready to earn what you're worth, this one's worth a conversation.
