Sales Development Representative

Manchester | £27,000 - £30,000 basic + uncapped commission | £37,000 - £40,000 OTE

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.
