Job Overview

We are looking for a highly motivated and results-oriented Business Development Executive to join our fast-paced UK-based recruitment firm. This role is ideal for someone who is sales-driven, confident on the phone, and resilient enough to handle the challenges of outbound calling. You will play a pivotal role in generating new business, uncovering leads, and booking meetings for our delivery team.

We need someone with a dogged determination to succeed, who is relentless in pursuing opportunities and thrives on exceeding targets. This role does not suit an account manager who focuses solely on client servicing; instead, we are seeking hungry, resilient, and well-organised individuals who can stick to a structured plan and make the most of their time.

Responsibilities

• Proactively make high-volume outbound calls to potential clients using targeted data lists.




• Confidently introduce the business, establish relationships, and uncover new recruitment opportunities.




• Book meetings for the delivery team with qualified leads and hand over detailed client information.




• Maintain accurate and organised records of client interactions and progress using Loxo CRM.




• Meet daily and monthly targets, including 30 outbound calls per day (15 in the morning and 15 in the afternoon).




• Stay persistent and motivated despite frequent rejections, continuously pushing for results.




• Work collaboratively with the delivery team to maximise lead conversion.




• Uphold a positive, driven attitude and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

Qualifications and Experience

• Proven experience in sales or business development, preferably within the recruitment sector.




• Exceptional phone skills and the ability to handle objections confidently.




• A resilient and persistent mindset, thriving under pressure and determined to meet targets.




• Strong organisational abilities, with a structured and methodical approach to daily planning.




• Self-motivated and commission-driven, with a passion for exceeding expectations.




• Experience using CRM systems like Loxo is an advantage.




• Reliable internet connection, laptop, and headset.




• Home office setup that is conducive to professional calls and meetings.




• Based in South Africa with a valid work permit.
