Hungry for a Challenge? Join our client as a Business Development Manager / Telesales Lead Hunter and Feast on Success!

Are you a natural born hunter, fired up to help business owners discover the power of coaching to unlock their success?  Do you relish picking up the phone as the first step towards recruiting new clients and have a proven track record of winning new business?

This is a unique opportunity for a sales focused business development executive to join an enthusiastic, driven, and fast paced team.

Only one in five businesses survive their first five years in business and they are on a mission to reverse that trend.  Every business holds the hopes and dreams of its owner, and they are passionate about helping those dreams exceed their expectations.

Our client’s focus is on supporting local business owners to become even more successful by increasing their profits, building stronger teams, and developing their business so it can ultimately work without them.

If you are the right person for this role, you will love the telephone, and you will relish the challenge of professionally helping business owners to buy freedom and profits. Their ideal candidate is driven to achieve targets and enjoys being held accountable. You will be excited to work with a professional sales coach to develop your skills. Everyone in their business is expected to embrace lifelong learning. This may be one of the toughest sales jobs you have had but the rewards are reflective of that.

Our client is passionate about recruiting the right person to join their team, offering flexible working, training and development opportunities, and a generous uncapped bonus scheme.

Hours are flexible, full time or part time; can fit around school hours. The role will be home-based with regular visits to their offices in Aberdeen, Perth, Dundee, and Kinross.
