Job Description

Trainee Business Sales Representative Location: Manchester City Centre

Salary: Up to 27,000 OTE: 40,000 - 45,000 (Year 1) Top Achievers: 100,000+

Are you a recent graduate or working in hospitality, door to door/direct sales and looking to kick start your sales career? What better place to do it than a company that has been awarded "Best Place to Work" in Manchester.

The Opportunity

Are you a high-energy sales professional looking for a role where your earning potential is truly uncapped? We are a market-leading consultancy firm seeking dynamic Business Sales Executives to join our growing team in Manchester.

In this role, you won't just be selling a service; you'll be providing essential HR, Employment Law, and Health & Safety solutions that empower small and mid-market business owners to focus on what they do best: growing their companies.

Why Join them?

We invest heavily in our people. We don't just expect success; we coach you toward it!

Elite Coaching Program: You will enter a "Super Coaching" program designed to sharpen your consultative selling techniques and turn you into a top-tier achiever.
Uncapped Earnings: With a realistic OTE of 40K in your first year and top performers exceeding 100k, your financial growth is in your hands.
Opportunity to earn right away: With this role you have the opportunity to earn commission right away! Just last month a newbie in month 3 hit 9,000 in commission.

The Role

Working within the small to mid-market sector, you will be responsible for identifying and developing new business opportunities.

Outbound lead generation: Outbound calling Directors and Business Owners to generate leads.
Lead Generation: Proactively self-generate new leads, appointments, and referrals while also managing and developing an existing client base.
Pipeline Management: Accurately build and maintain your sales funnel to ensure consistent delivery against quarterly targets.
Consultative Selling: Introduce businesses to our suite of consultancy services and innovative people-management software solutions.

What You Bring to the Team

We hire for attitude and drive! While industry experience in HR or Law is not required (full training is provided), we are looking for:

Proven Sales Track Record: Experience in outbound lead generation or telesales using a consultative approach.
Target-Driven Mindset: You thrive in fast-paced, high-energy environments and are motivated by hitting (and exceeding) goals.
Resilience & Confidence: A tenacious personality with the ability to handle rejection and stay focused on the next win.
Professional Communication: The ability to engage with high-level stakeholders and business owners convincingly.
