Sales Development Representative

Sales Development Representative

Manchester | £27,000 - £30,000 basic + uncapped commission | £37,000 - £40,000 OTE

Are you looking to build a career in B2B sales with a business that will genuinely invest in your development?

We're recruiting for a Sales Development Representative opportunity with an established and growing B2B sales business in Manchester. This is a role for someone who enjoys speaking to people, asking questions and getting to the bottom of what a potential customer actually needs.

This isn't traditional telemarketing. You won't be working from a rigid script or simply trying to get through as many calls as possible. The focus is on natural curiosity, active listening and understanding the challenges businesses are facing, then exploring whether there is a genuine solution.

The Role

You'll be working in a 100% outbound B2B sales environment, with cold calling forming a major part of your day.

You'll be responsible for:

Making outbound calls to prospective B2B customers

Starting natural conversations with business decision-makers

Asking open and insightful questions to understand their business

Identifying potential customer pain points and understanding their impact

Listening carefully and using what you learn to guide the conversation

Taking a consultative, solution-led approach rather than simply working from a script

Qualifying opportunities and creating genuine sales conversations

Working towards agreed sales targets

Developing your confidence, sales ability and commercial understanding

You'll receive the support and development needed to become a strong B2B salesperson, with a clear progression route into a Senior Sales Development Representative position.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with 6-12 months of B2B sales experience who is ready to take the next step in their career.

You'll need to be:

Naturally curious and genuinely interested in people and businesses

Comfortable asking questions and having meaningful conversations

A strong listener who can pick up on what a prospect is really saying

Confident making outbound calls

Commercially minded and interested in understanding how businesses operate

Comfortable working in a target-driven environment

Keen to learn and develop a long-term career in sales

This is not the right environment for someone whose experience is purely telemarketing, script-based calling or high-volume transactional sales.

We want someone who can think beyond the next call and understand the why behind a customer's problem. You'll need to be able to uncover a prospect's challenges, understand the impact those challenges are having on their business and explore whether there is a genuine solution.

Salary & Progression

£27,000 - £30,000 basic salary

£37,000 - £40,000 OTE

Around £10,000 additional earning potential in your first year

Uncapped commission

Excellent progression from Sales Development Representative → Senior Sales Development Representative → Account Manager

Ongoing development and support to help you progress

Hours & Benefits

Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm

Set working hours

Pension salary sacrifice

Family-friendly policies

Enhanced maternity leave

Private therapy support

Unlimited time off

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a business where sales is about understanding customers rather than simply selling to them.

You'll gain genuine B2B sales experience, develop consultative selling skills and have a clearly defined route to progress your career.

If you're ambitious, naturally curious and want to become genuinely good at B2B sales, this is a role where you can build something long term
