Sonic Summary

info
  • Our client, a leading UK financial services group, is seeking a Business Development Executive with proven telesales or business development experience.
  • This role focuses on building relationships and initiating meaningful conversations rather than traditional high-pressure sales tactics.
  • Candidates should possess resilience, commercial awareness, and the ability to adapt their communication style to different audiences.
  • The position offers a competitive salary, bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package including private medical cover and a wellness allowance.
  • While experience in financial services is advantageous, it is not essential, and the company provides extensive training and support.

Are you a confident and articulate telesales professional, looking for a role that values consultative conversations over high-pressure sales?

Our client is a multi-award-winning, UK-leading financial services group with decades of long-standing client relationships, and they are launching an exciting new division. We seek to recruit a capable Business Development Executive to be at the heart of this growth, building relationships within a dedicated and rewarding sector.

This isn't a typical sales role. You will be the first point of contact, starting meaningful conversations and arranging introductory meetings with senior decision-makers. You'll be part of a supportive, professional team where thoughtful communication and building long-term trust are the keys to success.

The Role:

As a Business Development Executive, you will be instrumental in launching the new specialist division. Working alongside a leadership team with over 20 years of sector expertise, your focus will be on outbound engagement to build a strong pipeline.

You will make outbound calls to prospective clients within a dedicated, values-driven sector. Build rapport and secure meetings with the business all the while maintaining accurate records on the internal CRM.

The Person:

We're looking for someone resilient, commercially aware, and a natural communicator who can adapt their style to different audiences.

You will bring proven experience in telesales, outbound sales, or business development. You will be an excellent communicator, proactive and organised.

Experience in financial services or within the target sector is advantageous, but not essential. They will provide comprehensive training and support to develop your sector and product knowledge. What matters most is your professionalism, credibility, and ability to hold confident, consultative conversations.

The business offers a competitive salary and bonus alongside a standout benefits package designed to support your life and career. You'll receive private medical cover, a significant wellbeing allowance, a free gym membership, and hybrid working, all while being part of a company that actively supports charitable causes.

If you have the experience outlined above and are keen to pursue a career within a respected financial services organisation, do not delay getting in touch.
