Description:
Business Development Executive
£32,000 + £6,000 OTE (pro rata)
6-Month Fixed-Term Contract | Predominantly Home-Based
We’re recruiting a confident Business Development Executive for an established business within the commercial furniture and workplace sector.
You’ll follow up existing marketing and lead-generation activity, researching businesses that are relocating, refurbishing or changing their workplace and identifying where there is a genuine requirement for new office furniture.
This is a quality-focused B2B role. The aim isn’t simply to book appointments – it’s to have credible conversations with decision-makers, understand their plans and identify genuine commercial opportunities.
The Role
* Research prospects and identify key decision-makers.
* Contact businesses by phone and email.
* Understand workplace plans, timescales and potential furniture requirements.
* Qualify genuine current and future opportunities.
* Secure appropriate meetings or site surveys.
* Develop longer-term opportunities that may be 6–18+ months away.
* Maintain accurate CRM records and follow-up activity.
About You
You’ll be confident picking up the phone and comfortable speaking with business owners and senior decision-makers.
You’ll be articulate, commercially aware, inquisitive, organised and persistent without being pushy.
Previous B2B business development, outbound sales or appointment-setting experience is preferred. Experience in commercial furniture, interiors, fit-out, workplace solutions or another project-led B2B sector would be particularly relevant.
