Sales Development Rep / B2B Lead Generator Up to £30,000 DOE, poss negotiable + OTE We are looking for an experienced Telephone Business Development Executive / SDR Sales Development Representative for a position with a successful technology company based in Glasgow. Previous experience of telesales lead generation or outbound B2B telesales of IT or Telecoms solutions would be of particular interest, however we can also consider people without this specific background providing that you have proven Appointment Making / Lead Generation experience in another sector coupled with a solid career history. Your primary role would be to develop new sales opportunities and setting sales appointments for your field sales colleagues to attend, so that they can discuss face-to-face their wide range of products and solutions. You would be only responsible for this first stage of the sales process and then it s handed over to one of the highly experienced field sales consultants to fully present to the prospect and complete the sale. You would be calling both existing and potential customers. This role is primarily office based in Glasgow but you will also be able to have some days working from home as well if you wish, and at their request applicants must also live within Central Scotland. On top of your starting basic salary of up to £30,000 depending on experience, there is also an excellent commission structure in place which will enable you to increase your earnings well above your basic wage. If you feel that you meet the requirements for this role and would like to apply, then please do so with your CV in Word format via the link provided. As this is a sales role, a well-presented CV that sells you and documents your skills and achievements would add great weight to your application. This is just one of many sales roles that we normally recruit for on a regular basis (field sales, business development, telesales, internal sales and account manager positions). A full list of our current vacancies can be viewed on our own Realise Recruitment company website, and we might also have some other job adverts on this particular job website that you are on just now.

Internal Account Manager Starting salary up to £30,000 DOE + high OTE potential We are looking for a proven B2B Sales Account Manager for our client in Glasgow. This is mostly an internal office and telephone-based sales account management role, which will also incorporate some external client meetings as well. As well as working from company supplied data and getting warm leads from your lead generation colleagues, you would also source your own leads as well and target businesses in specific sectors that fit the criteria of being an ideal and profitable customer. In your interim period in the role you will be looking to build up your account base, and in time your position would evolve into being one of mostly account management of existing clients. Although much of your work will be done in the office and over the phone, you will also sometimes be required to arrange and attend meetings with your potential and existing customers as this will often increase the chances of opportunity and/or further business from them. Therefore, this could be the perfect move for sales executives who have felt restricted by telephone / telesales-only contact in their previous sales positions, and for people who would be keen to progress into a role that also involves some face-to-face meetings with clients. With truly excellent services and market-leading prices to offer, your success and earning potential in this role really would only be limited by your own capabilities, self-drive and motivation. This is a full-time permanent position with a starting basic salary of up to £30,000 depending on experience, and achievers here can expect to earn well above their basic salary - anything between £5000 - £20,000 and above per annum within a 3 year period as your account base continues to grow and as you become more experienced in the role. Your basic salary will of course be reviewed over time as well. If you feel that you meet the requirements for this role and would like to apply, then please do so with your CV in Word format via the link provided. As this is a sales role, a well-presented CV that sells you and documents your skills and achievements would add great weight to your application.
