Are you looking to build a career in B2B sales with a business that will genuinely invest in your development?
We're recruiting for a Sales Development Representative opportunity with an established and growing B2B sales business in Manchester. This is a role for someone who enjoys speaking to people, asking questions and getting to the bottom of what a potential customer actually needs.
This isn't traditional telemarketing. You won't be working from a rigid script or simply trying to get through as many calls as possible. The focus is on natural curiosity, active listening and understanding the challenges businesses are facing , then exploring whether there is a genuine solution.
The Role
You'll be working in a 100% outbound B2B sales environment , with cold calling forming a major part of your day.
- You'll be responsible for:
- Making outbound calls to prospective B2B customers
- Starting natural conversations with business decision-makers
- Asking open and insightful questions to understand their business
- Identifying potential customer pain points and understanding their impact
- Listening carefully and using what you learn to guide the conversation
- Taking a consultative, solution-led approach rather than simply working from a script
- Qualifying opportunities and creating genuine sales conversations
- Working towards agreed sales targets
- Developing your confidence, sales ability and commercial understanding
You'll receive the support and development needed to become a strong B2B salesperson, with a clear progression route into a Senior Sales Development Representative position.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone with 6-12 months of B2B sales experience who is ready to take the next step in their career.
- You'll need to be:
- Naturally curious and genuinely interested in people and businesses
- Comfortable asking questions and having meaningful conversations
- A strong listener who can pick up on what a prospect is really saying
- Confident making outbound calls
- Commercially minded and interested in understanding how businesses operate
- Comfortable working in a target-driven environment
- Keen to learn and develop a long-term career in sales
This is not the right environment for someone whose experience is purely telemarketing, script-based calling or high-volume transactional sales.
We want someone who can think beyond the next call and understand the why behind a customer's problem. You'll need to be able to uncover a prospect's challenges, understand the impact those challenges are having on their business and explore whether there is a genuine solution.
- Salary & Progression
- £27,000 - £30,000 basic salary
- £37,000 - £40,000 OTE
- Around £10,000 additional earning potential in your first year
- Uncapped commission
- Excellent progression from Sales Development Representative ? Senior Sales Development Representative ? Account Manager
- Ongoing development and support to help you progress
- Hours & Benefits
- Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm
- Set working hours
- Pension salary sacrifice
- Family-friendly policies
- Enhanced maternity leave
- Private therapy support
- Unlimited time off
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to join a business where sales is about understanding customers rather than simply selling to them .
You'll gain genuine B2B sales experience, develop consultative selling skills and have a clearly defined route to progress your career.
If you're ambitious, naturally curious and want to become genuinely good at B2B sales, this is a role where you can build something long term.
