Internal Sales & Business Development Executive

Salary:

30-40k

Location:

West Midlands

Location: Warwickshire

Salary: £30k + commission (OTE £36k-£40k)

The Company: Chemicals Distributor

 

The Role:

  • This is a newly created role offering a fantastic entry point into technical sales and business development
  • You’ll be responsible for proactively managing and growing a portfolio of smaller house accounts — while working alongside the field sales team to break into key target sectors such as Automotive, Aerospace & Defence (AAD), Electronics, and General Manufacturing.
  • This is a phone-first sales role that requires confidence, energy and an appetite for new business.
  • You’ll be uncovering opportunities, qualifying leads, reigniting dormant accounts and bringing that crucial sales buzz to the office.
  • Proactively manage a portfolio of existing house accounts, ensuring regular contact and identifying upselling or cross-selling opportunities.
  • Support external sales managers by researching and prospecting into targeted verticals (Automotive, AAD, Electronics, Manufacturing).
  • Make outbound calls and emails to generate new leads and secure meetings for the wider sales team.
  • Follow up on inbound enquiries and marketing-generated leads, qualifying and nurturing as needed.
  • Use the CRM system to log activity, manage pipelines and track progress.
  • Work with their marketing team to feed into campaigns, lead-gen efforts and customer communications.

 

Requirements:

  • This is an ideal opportunity for a junior salesperson or ambitious graduate with 1–2 years’ experience in B2B sales or customer engagement — or someone currently in a customer service role who is hungry to move into sales.
  • We’re not expecting deep technical knowledge from day one — just the attitude, drive and commercial curiosity to learn fast and succeed.
  • Strong communication skills — especially on the phone.
  • A natural confidence and willingness to cold call and build relationships.
  • Organised, target-driven and comfortable juggling multiple tasks.
  • Good general IT and CRM/database skills.
  • A genuine interest in technical/industrial markets (previous knowledge a bonus but not essential).
  • A proactive mindset — this role rewards energy and initiative.

 

Benefits:

  • Full training on their technical product range and sales processes
  • Structured career development within a fast-growing business unit
  • A supportive, down-to-earth team in a modern workspace
  • The opportunity to be part of a global group with huge growth ambitions
