About you

• Firstly, you prosper in B2B New Business roles with significant success in generating new accounts - this is not an account management role, you will create new opportunities through self-sourced, decision-maker conversations.
• You have a resourceful and tenacious approach to building your pipeline - you have a well-developed toolkit of lead-generation approaches and thrive putting in the hard yards researching, cold calling, prospecting, door knocking, and vehicle spotting to identify the most exciting leads.
• You understand that one size does not fit all - you can develop personalised, multi-product/service offerings including preparing proposal and implementation documentation to deliver the perfect solution to your clients.
• You take pride in being an ambassador for your brand - as a New Business Manager; you are a credible and assured networker able to build effective and profitable relationships with key stakeholders.
• Preferably, you have expertise in the light commercial market or contract hire sectors - while it is a useful starting point for a New Business Manager to know what we do and our marketplace, it’s much more important to us to see your ability to take responsibility for your own performance and your desire to be successful.
