About the role
Ambitious? Competitive? Hungry to earn serious money?
We’re looking for driven, confident and highly motivated Sales Executive to join our fast-growing international exhibitions business.
If you love winning new business, thrive on hitting targets and want to build a successful sales career where your earnings reflect your performance, this could be the opportunity for you.
At Trans-World Events, we organise award-winning international B2B exhibitions across some of the world’s fastest-growing technology, sustainability and industrial sectors. We’re expanding rapidly and looking for ambitious salespeople who want to grow with us.
You don’t need experience in exhibitions. We’re far more interested in your attitude, sales ability, work ethic and determination to succeed.
This is a hands-on, predominantly telephone-based sales role. You’ll be identifying opportunities, pitching to senior decision-makers and closing deals with companies around the world, from ambitious start-ups to major global corporations.
You’ll also have opportunities for international travel, attending our exhibitions and meeting clients face-to-face.
The Role:
Win new business – proactively identify, approach and convert prospective exhibitors and sponsors.
Close deals – sell exhibition space and sponsorship packages to businesses across international markets.
Build your pipeline – generate leads through cold calling, LinkedIn, email outreach and proactive prospecting.
Smash your targets – take ownership of your sales performance and work towards ambitious revenue goals.
Develop relationships – build strong commercial relationships with senior decision-makers and secure repeat business.
Travel internationally – attend exhibitions and industry events to meet clients and develop new opportunities.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for ambitious people with a competitive mindset, a strong work ethic and a genuine desire to succeed.
Ideally, you’ll have around 1–2 years of sales experience, although attitude, potential and determination are just as important.
You’ll be someone who:
- Is motivated by earning commission, achieving targets and progressing quickly.
- Loves the challenge of winning new business and closing deals.
- Is confident picking up the phone and speaking to people they’ve never met.
- Has a competitive streak and wants to be a top performer.
- Is resilient, persistent and comfortable handling rejection.
- Has excellent communication skills and can confidently engage with senior decision-makers.
- Is self-motivated, proactive and takes ownership of their results.
- Brings energy, enthusiasm and a positive attitude to work.
- Experience in B2B sales, recruitment, media sales, telesales or business development would be an advantage, but exhibition industry experience is not required.
What We Offer
- Competitive basic salary plus uncapped commission – genuine opportunities to earn more through strong sales performance.
- Fast career progression – opportunities to develop and take on greater responsibility as the business grows.
- International travel – attend exhibitions and conferences in major international markets.
- A growing business – join an ambitious, entrepreneurial company expanding its international event portfolio.
- Recognition and reward – a performance-driven environment where hard work, initiative and results are valued.
- Real responsibility – take ownership of your pipeline and play a direct role in the success of international events.
