Business Development Manager - Bradford
28,000 - 35,000 basic | OTE 45,000 - 50,000
Are you a natural-born closer who thrives in a fast-paced, target-driven environment? Do you get a buzz from winning new business and turning cold leads into long-term customers? We're looking for a Business Development Manager to take full control of the Leeds territory - someone who's proactive, persistent, and thrives on competition. This is not a soft consultative sale. This is direct selling at its most focused. If you're the kind of person who sees targets as a minimum expectation and takes pride in outperforming your peers, we want to hear from you.
You'll be responsible for generating new business from scratch - cold calling, door knocking, and pitching face-to-face. You must be confident selling directly to decision-makers, closing deals quickly, and maintaining high activity levels every day. If you're not afraid of rejection and see every "no" as one step closer to a "yes", you'll fit right in.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Managing a defined territory across Leeds (postcode split between two reps)
- Responsible for 10,000 in new business per month
- Targeted to secure 15 new orders per month
- Selling 12, 24, and 36-month contracts (with bonus incentives for longer-term deals)
- Operating primarily in the field - visiting business premises, cold calling, and pitching face-to-face
- Driving the full sales cycle: from prospecting to closing, with a focus on volume and velocity
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience in field sales, B2B sales, or door-to-door selling
- Someone who can pitch and close on the spot without relying on drawn-out sales processes
- A highly competitive personality with a strong desire to win
- Self-motivated, target-driven, and comfortable working independently in the field
- Full UK driving licence and based in or near Leeds
This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, is resilient to rejection, and has the hunger to build a pipeline from scratch and convert it into revenue - fast.
What's On Offer:
- Basic salary: 28,000 - 35,000, depending on experience
- OTE 45,000 - 50,000, with uncapped commission
- Company car (VW Golf), fuel card, laptop and mobile phone
- Weekly pay - commission paid every 3rd Friday of the month
- 22 days holiday + bank holidays (3 days held for Christmas shutdown)
- 6-month probation period with support and training from our Barnsley office
Hours:
Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 5:00pm
No evenings, no weekends - just high-performance selling.
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-moving sales team in a high-energy environment, where results are recognised and rewarded. If you're the kind of person who thrives on pressure, welcomes a challenge, and always aims to be at the top of the leader board, this could be your next move.
