• Driving the full sales cycle: from prospecting to closing, with a focus on volume and velocity

What We're Looking For:

• Proven experience in field sales , B2B sales , or door-to-door selling
• Someone who can pitch and close on the spot without relying on drawn-out sales processes
• A highly competitive personality with a strong desire to win
• Self-motivated, target-driven, and comfortable working independently in the field
• Full UK driving licence and based in or near Leeds

This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, is resilient to rejection, and has the hunger to build a pipeline from scratch and convert it into revenue - fast.

What's On Offer:

• Basic salary: 28,000 - 35,000 , depending on experience
• OTE 45,000 - 50,000 , with uncapped commission
• Company car (VW Golf) , fuel card, laptop and mobile phone
• Weekly pay - commission paid every 3rd Friday of the month

• 6-month probation period with support and training from our Barnsley office

Hours:

Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 5:00pm
