Field Business Development Executive – B2B Logistics
Leicester (field‑based)
£28,000–£32,000 basic salary + £20,000 OTE (realistic in year one)
The opportunity
We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a nationally recognised household name within the logistics sector. This is a field‑based Business Development Executive role, focused on growing B2B relationships with local businesses rather than selling to the public.
This is a professional, consultative sales position where conversations happen in boardrooms, offices and warehouses — not on residential doorsteps.
A quick clarification
This is not door‑to‑door sales.
You will be meeting business customers only, working within a defined territory, with the credibility of a trusted national brand behind you.
What the role involves
As a Field Business Development Executive, you will:
- Identify and develop new B2B opportunities across Leicester and surrounding areas
- Meet prospective clients face‑to‑face to understand their logistics needs
- Build long‑term partnerships rather than focusing on quick wins
- Manage and grow your own pipeline of business opportunities
- Plan your own diary and work autonomously in the field
This role suits someone who enjoys relationship‑building, independence, and being out with clients rather than desk‑based selling.

Previous sales experience is not essential. Our client is focused on potential, mindset and transferable skills.
This role is well suited to individuals from backgrounds such as:
- Customer service or hospitality
- Retail or field‑based roles
- Recruitment, telesales, or account management
- Any position requiring communication, influence and resilience
Essential requirements:
- A full UK driving licence
- Access to your own car (client visits are face‑to‑face)
- Confidence engaging with business owners and decision‑makers
- A desire to learn and develop within a structured sales environment
What’s on offer
- £28,000–£32,000 basic salary
- £20,000 OTE, achievable in your first year
- Industry‑leading B2B sales training and ongoing coaching
- Clear progression into senior sales or account management roles
- The opportunity to represent a respected national brand
