Fen Ditton, United Kingdom Zero Surplus Full time

Are you currently working in role selling a flexible/adaptable product or service and seeking a change? Perhaps you're looking for a BDM role on reduced hours and would be open to 4 days a week? Maybe you're working as an Account Manager/Sales Executive and seeking a step up?

If any of this rings true please get in touch as we're working with renowned Cambridge based marketing agency offering a whole range of difference services from web design to video production, content marketing to print and editorial, as they seek a consultative, experienced BDM to drive new logos to their existing portfolio of clients.

Key Duties

Sell and secure profitable and sustainable content marketing services, including: advertising, content, design, digital development, digital marketing, and media sales
Target, create and maintain a database of key contacts within specified target sectors and markets via CRM
Create positive and collaborative working relationships with prospects
Play an active part in creating and delivering presentations and proposals, responding to tenders and preparing for pitchesWhilst achieving the above you will be expected to approximately spend 50% of your time focused on outbound cold calling/outreach, and the other 50% of your time working collaboratively on the pitches. You would also be required to attend networking events and exhibitions as well as client meetings, so applicants must be comfortable selling in person and presenting.

Candidates can come from a variety of backgrounds, though those in media sales, agency sales would of course be of interest, but also those that have experience selling a B2B product/service that is adaptable, and as a such there is a consultative process with creating a proposal, pitching and close style of sale.

Applicants can either work 4 or 5 days per week, though the salary outlined is for the full-time equivalent salary, and any part time employee would have the salary pro rata'd. The role is hybrid with 60% of your time expected to be in the office or out with clients.
