Winning new business and earning uncapped commission as a Business Development Executive for an established and growing provider of integrated fire and security solutions.
Working with this forward-thinking, privately owned company, you will become part of an experienced and ambitious team committed to delivering high-quality fire protection, security and life-safety solutions to commercial customers.
The company combines strong technical expertise with responsive customer service and has built an excellent reputation for providing dependable, tailored solutions. Continued growth has created an exciting opportunity for a driven sales professional who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities and converting conversations into profitable business.
This is an office-based Business Development Executive opportunity offering genuine earning potential, career development and the chance to build specialist knowledge within the resilient and continually evolving fire and security sector.
As Business Development Executive – Fire & Security, you will take a proactive, primarily inside-sales approach to identifying, engaging and developing prospective customers.
Your focus will be firmly on generating new business opportunities through outbound sales activity, intelligent prospecting and consistent relationship development.
Your responsibilities will include:
Identifying and researching prospective commercial customers and target markets
Generating new business through proactive outbound calling, telesales, email campaigns, social selling and networking
Engaging key decision-makers and introducing the company’s fire and security capabilities
Qualifying customer requirements and identifying commercially viable sales opportunities
Booking meetings, surveys and appointments for technical and field-based colleagues where appropriate
Developing opportunities from initial contact through the sales pipeline
Preparing quotations and proposals with support from technical colleagues
Following up enquiries, quotations and marketing-generated leads
Maintaining accurate customer, opportunity and activity information within the CRM system
Building long-term relationships that create repeat business and account-development opportunities
Working collaboratively with sales, technical, operational and service teams
Achieving agreed activity, opportunity, revenue and sales targets
This is not a passive order-processing position. You will be expected to create opportunities, build momentum and positively influence business growth.
To be successful as Business Development Executive – Fire & Security, you will have a healthy mix of the following:
Proven success within business development, inside sales, telesales or outbound B2B sales
A genuine hunter mentality with the drive and resilience to identify and win new business
Confidence making proactive outbound calls and engaging new customers
Strong communication skills with the ability to build rapport quickly
Commercial awareness and the ability to identify genuine customer needs and sales opportunities
A professional, consultative approach rather than relying on scripted or high-pressure selling
Excellent organisation, follow-up and pipeline-management skills
Self-motivation, persistence and a positive approach to targets
Confidence using Microsoft Office applications and CRM systems
Previous experience within a technical, engineering, construction, building-services or related industry would be advantageous
Fire and security industry experience would be welcomed but is not essential, as sector knowledge can be developed
Above all, you will be proactive, curious and comfortable picking up the phone. You will understand that successful business development requires intelligent activity, consistent follow-up and the determination to keep opening doors.
As Business Development Executive – Fire & Security, you will enjoy a competitive salary of £30,000–£35,000, dependent upon experience, plus an attractive commission structure providing realistic on-target earnings of £50,000+.
