Local Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager – Automotive B2B Sales

£25,500 Basic Salary | £45,000 Uncapped OTE
Monday to Friday | 8:30am – 5:30pm | No Weekends
Permanent | Full Time

Are you a proactive, driven sales professional who enjoys winning new business and building long-term commercial relationships?

Our client is looking to recruit a Business Development Manager to focus on developing and growing a portfolio of local business customers. This is a fantastic opportunity for a true hunter—someone who thrives on prospecting, opening doors, and generating new opportunities rather than simply managing existing accounts.

While automotive experience would be beneficial, it is not essential. Candidates with a proven track record in B2B sales, business development, field sales, account acquisition or consultative sales are strongly encouraged to apply.

Although this role is based in New Southgate, there will be the expectations of visiting new prospective clients across the country if needed.

What's on Offer?

• £25,500 Basic Salary
• £45,000 Uncapped OTE
• Monday to Friday working pattern
• 8:30am – 5:30pm with a one-hour lunch break
• No weekend working
• Mix of dealership-based and customer-facing field sales activity
• Full support and training provided
• Established support network of experienced Business Development Managers

The Role

This is a consultative sales position focused on identifying opportunities, developing relationships and delivering tailored solutions to business customers.

Key responsibilities include:

• Proactively prospecting and generating new business opportunities
• Developing relationships with local businesses and decision-makers
• Arranging and attending customer appointments
• Creating tailored sales and aftersales solutions for business clients
• Building long-term customer relationships to maximise retention and growth
• Managing the full sales process from initial contact through to delivery
• Maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction and professionalism
• Ensuring compliance with FCA and data protection regulations
• Working towards and exceeding sales targets and KPIs

About You

• Previous experience in B2B sales, business development, field sales or account acquisition
• Self-motivated, ambitious and target-driven
• Strong prospecting and relationship-building skills
• Comfortable generating your own opportunities and opening new accounts
• Consultative sales approach with excellent listening skills
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Professional, confident and customer-focused
• Full UK Driving Licence required

Why Apply?

• Genuine business development role with a strong focus on new business generation
• Uncapped earning potential
• Monday to Friday work-life balance
• Autonomy to develop your own customer base and territory
• Supportive environment with experienced BDMs across the wider group
• Excellent opportunity for ambitious sales professionals looking to progress their career

Whether your background is automotive, technology, telecoms, professional services, recruitment, manufacturing or another B2B sales environment, we'd love to hear from you if you have the drive, resilience and determination to succeed.
