SMARTVÉLO is a fast-growing company for sustainable e-mobility solutions. We develop e-bikes that are changing everyday city life, and we stand for top quality and excellent service. Become part of this vision!
As Business Developer (m/f/d), you will build our business in the Netherlands and Belgium from the ground up. You will bring SMARTVÉLO e-bikes to new customers in delivery, logistics, restaurants and franchise chains, set up pilots and turn them into long-term fleet deals. You will be our first person on the ground, with a lot of freedom, short decision paths and direct contact with management.
Your tasks
Generate new business: You create your own opportunities through cold calling, LinkedIn outreach and visiting stores and branches in person
Set up pilots: You bring new customers on board with pilots and convert them into long-term contracts
Consultative selling: Our product is high-end and priced accordingly. You understand the customer's delivery operation and show why it pays off
Target the right segments: You focus on delivery and last-mile, restaurant chains and franchises, grocery retail and care services
Stakeholder management: You talk with operations as well as management and build lasting relationships
Interface to Cologne: You work closely with our sales team and management in Germany and give feedback from the market

Proven experience with cold outreach: you have booked meetings yourself, by phone or in person, without waiting for inbound leads

Comfortable with targets, rejection and ambiguity. Not every process is set in stone with us yet
Ambition to grow into a senior role
Based in or around Utrecht (or within easy reach of central NL), willing to travel a lot
Fluent Dutch, good English (German is a plus)
