• Accurately manage sales activity using CRM systems.

You'll ideally have:

• A proven track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets within a B2B environment.
• Experience managing the entire sales cycle from prospecting through to close.
• Strong commercial awareness and excellent negotiation skills.
• A resilient, self-motivated and ambitious approach.
• The confidence to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team environment.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• £50,000 basic salary
• Uncapped commission structure
• Realistic OTE of £65-£75k uncapped
