    Job Description

    Business Development Manager 28k + Car + Uncapped Commission

    Fancy a role where every "no" just means you're one step closer to a "yes"?

    A well-established, family-run waste management business is on the hunt for a tenacious BDM to join their growing sales team, covering a patch in the East Midlands.

    This isn't a role for the faint-hearted. You'll be out on the road, door-knocking, cold-calling, and building your own pipeline from scratch, then nurturing it through their shiny new CRM system. If you thrive on the thrill of the chase and don't take rejection personally, keep reading.

    What you'll be doing:

    • Hunting down new business through cold calls and door knocks

    • Smashing (and re-smashing) monthly targets, managing your own pipeline

    • Becoming the go-to link between your customers and the internal team

    • Keeping the CRM sharp and up to date

    • Mucking in to support the wider sales team when needed What they're looking for:

    • Sales experience in waste management is a big plus, but a proven track record of selling contracted services and hitting targets matters more

    • Thick skin, you'll get told no, and you'll need to be fine with that

    • Social media savvy, if prospecting online isn't already second nature, it needs to be

    • Confident, articulate, and politely persistent, the kind of person who builds rapport without even trying

    • A team player with a genuine "can do" attitude and the drive to go the extra mile The details:

    • 28,000 basic + industry-leading commission

    • Company car

    • Monday-Friday, 9-5 (with the flexibility this kind of role always demands)

    • Field-based, with occasional office time for sales meetings

    • Must hold a full UK driving licence and have 2+ years' field sales experience If you're relentless, resilient, and ready to earn what you're worth, this one's worth a conversation.

    Search is an equal opportunities recruiter and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age.
