Job description
Business Development Representative
Full-Time | Office-Based | Monday–Friday
If you’re the kind of person who can keep a conversation flowing, spot an opportunity from a mile off, and actually enjoy picking up the phone — keep reading. This one’s for you.
We’re looking for a confident, curious, energised Business Development Representative who’s brilliant at turning “never heard of you” into “yeah, go on then, tell me more.”
You’ll be working in a fast-paced, friendly office where the days move quickly, the calls keep you sharp, and the team genuinely wants you to win. No ego, no drama — just proper sales, done properly.
The Role
This is a full-on, proactive outbound role where you’ll be the first voice new customers hear. You’ll be qualifying leads, asking clever questions, and booking in high-quality appointments for the wider sales team.
You’ll be doing things like:
Making outbound calls to warm and cold prospects (no hiding behind emails).
Qualifying decision-makers and uncovering real needs — not just ticking boxes.
Talking confidently about products, value, and why customers should care.
Booking demos and appointments the sales team actually want.
Following up on marketing leads and inbound enquiries quickly and professionally.
Keeping the CRM spotless — notes, updates, follow-ups, the lot.
Collaborating with the sales and marketing teams on outreach ideas and messaging.
What You’ll Need
Some experience in outbound calling, telesales, or business development AND a genuine desire to build a career in Sales
A strong phone presence — upbeat, articulate, unshakably confident.
Resilience — because objections will come, and you’ll handle them well.
Curiosity — the ability to ask the right questions and dig a little deeper.
A target-driven mindset with the consistency to hit the weekly numbers.
Good organisation and proper CRM discipline (no mystery notes like “call back?”).
A team-player attitude — you’ll be working closely with sales every day.
What You Might Not Like
Just keeping it real:
It’s fully office-based — no hiding at home in your slippers.
The phone will become your best friend (or worst enemy if you’re not built for it).
Pace is fast and expectations are clear — this isn’t a coasting job.
If you thrive off momentum, noise, conversation, and winning — you’ll fit in beautifully.
Why It’s a Great Move
A role where your work genuinely moves the needle.
Supportive team, proper coaching, and managers who want you to succeed.
Clear progression paths if you want to grow into senior BDR or field sales.
Friendly, energetic office environment — no silos, no egos.
You’ll learn loads, quickly.
What To Do Next
If you’ve got the drive, the voice, and the attitude to make things happen, drop your CV over or get in touch. Let’s see if this could be your next big step.
