What they do
- Win net-new business and open new logos
- Self-generate pipeline through cold outreach and networking
- Manage a territory or vertical end to end
- Balance new business with growing early accounts
How we recruit them
Our business development recruitment spans SME field sales through to strategic new-business roles. We assess genuine hunting ability, territory management and the discipline to build pipeline without a marketing engine behind them — the profile that too many generic agencies get wrong.
What great looks like
- Proof they can build from a cold start, not inherit warm accounts
- Territory or vertical ownership with numbers to back it
- Comfortable with rejection and driven by activity
- Sector knowledge where it matters — or the aptitude to learn it fast
