Trade Mastermind, founded in 2020 by BBC Apprentice Winner Joseph Valente, is the UK’s fastest‑growing business education and coaching provider for the construction industry. We help tradespeople transform into successful business owners by giving them the tools, systems, and strategies needed to scale into 7‑figure companies and beyond. Since launching, we have trained more than 5,000 trade business owners, achieving an average 370% growth rate for clients in their first year. In 2026, we will be opening our new 20,000 sq. ft. Trade Mastermind University Headquarters in Peterborough—the first dedicated university for trades—featuring a 300‑person event arena, a state‑of‑the‑art podcast studio, and the city’s first rooftop bar for our team and clients.
As part of our continued expansion, we are recruiting driven and ambitious Business Development Managers to join our elite sales division. In this role, you will be responsible for enrolling trade business owners into our flagship 7‑Figure Construction Business Academy, the UK’s only City & Guilds‑accredited three‑year business qualification for trades. Reporting to a high‑performance B2B Sales Manager, you will manage the full sales cycle from initial lead to close. This includes engaging with prospects both face‑to‑face at national events and virtually through Zoom or phone consultations, presenting one of the most powerful business training offers currently available in the UK.
Your day‑to‑day responsibilities will involve converting qualified inbound leads, event-generated enquiries, and marketing-driven prospects into high‑value clients. You will conduct in‑depth discovery calls, deliver engaging business consultations, and run effective closing presentations. Success in the role requires proactive pipeline management, strong CRM discipline, and consistent performance against daily KPIs. You will also play a key role at our national events, representing the Trade Mastermind brand with energy, professionalism, and belief in the transformational impact of our programmes.
This opportunity offers exceptional rewards for high performers. Alongside a £40,000 base salary and £48,000 uncapped OTE, you will receive monthly bonuses, accelerators for exceeding targets, a car allowance, private health cover, a pension scheme, and comprehensive training and mentorship directly from CEO Joseph Valente. You will also have a clear progression pathway toward Senior BDM, Team Leader, or Sales Manager roles. The package includes 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, an additional birthday day off, and full access to our new HQ and national events.
We are looking for candidates with proven experience closing B2B or high‑ticket sales, ideally within education, events, or construction. You should be confident, highly motivated, and capable of consistently hitting and exceeding revenue targets. Strong communication, presentation, and objection‑handling skills are essential, as is the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, performance-driven environment. A passion for personal growth, competition, and financial success will help you excel in this role.
Trade Mastermind is on an ambitious three‑year journey to achieve a £100M+ valuation, reach £10M+ EBITDA, support over 1,000 trade business owners annually, and launch the world’s first dedicated Trade Mastermind University. Joining us now means becoming part of a high-performance sales force at the forefront of a movement that is transforming the trade sector, while earning life‑changing income through a career with unlimited potential.
If you are a high‑energy sales closer looking to earn six figures, work alongside elite performers, and be part of one of the UK’s fastest‑growing education brands, this is the opportunity for you
