About the Company

They provide office furniture and office interior design from blinds to furniture to complex interior fit outs including suspended ceilings, air conditioning, flooring, cabling, plumbing, electrics, and decorating. They can offer office relocation, renovations, and furniture recycling. The company is enjoying a growth period as more companies utilise and renew their office space post-COVID.

You will be part of a small close-knit team that really looks after their staff. “A really enjoyable and supportive working environment and culture.”

The successful candidate will have:

1. Previous sales success: both new business generation and growing existing business (80/20 split).
2. Experience selling office equipment, office design, or interior commercial design solutions would be ideal.
3. Proven success selling to Facilities Management, Education, Managed office services, or Commercial agents would be beneficial.
4. The ability to conduct a site visit, detail clients' requirements, and communicate to the design team.
5. Excellent communication skills as well as the organisational skills to see projects through to completion.
6. Building regulations and potentially health and safety knowledge is beneficial but non-essential.

The Business Development Manager's Day-to-Day Would Include:

1. Using CRM to call lapsed customers to ascertain their future office design or office furniture requirements.
2. Generating new business in the FM, Education, Managed office, and Commercial Estate sector by means of cold calling, referrals, area mapping, and research.
3. Working within a small sales team of 3 to ensure the company achieves their strategic objectives and plans for growth.
4. Arranging face-to-face design visits to sell bespoke office design solutions.
5. Selling a comprehensive range of office furniture to your clients.
