About the Role

At Preston Baker, we're known for doing things differently — delivering outstanding results for our clients through energy, expertise, and genuine care.

We're looking for a Business Development Advisor to join our Leeds HQ and drive new business generation.

  • Provide first contact support to our ever growing Self Employed Associate Estate Agents.

  • Manage team KPIs: call volumes, talk time, conversion rates, and outcomes.

  • Maintain data accuracy and compliance standards across all systems.

  • Foster a culture of accountability, enthusiasm, and continuous improvement aligned with our PACE values.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Ideally proven experience in call-centre or estate-agency environments – you understand the pace, structure, and commercial drivers behind new business generation.

  • A confident communicator and motivator who can inspire others and lead by example.

  • Track record in appointment setting, telesales, or lead conversion, ideally within property or financial services.

  • Data-driven, disciplined, and results-focused with high attention to detail.

  • High personal standards, strong work ethic, and a positive, growth-oriented mindset.

  • Proficient with CRM and call-tracking systems; confident using Excel and performance dashboards.

What We Offer

  • £23,000 – £25,000 basic salary (DOE)

  • Performance bonus – OTE £30,000 - £37,000

  • Career progression – opportunity to grow into senior management or commercial leadership roles.

  • 28 days holiday including bank holidays.

  • Company pension and performance incentives.

  • Ongoing professional training.

  • Supportive, high-energy culture focused on personal and team success.

  • Modern North Leeds office with state-of-the-art systems and a collaborative team environment.
