Summary

Venture Construction Solutions

£40,000 Basic + Commission | £100,000+ OTE

Venture Construction Solutions is growing, and we’re looking for a high-performing Business Development Associate who knows how to win new business.

This is a face-to-face sales role. We want someone who is confident walking into a client’s office or site, meeting decision-makers, understanding their challenges and closing the deal.

If you’re an experienced salesperson who enjoys meeting clients, building relationships and converting conversations into revenue, this could be the opportunity for you.

The Opportunity

You’ll be responsible for developing new business across the construction and infrastructure sectors.

The key to the role is simple:

Meet clients. Understand their needs. Sell our value proposition. Close business.

You’ll have the backing of Venture Construction Solutions’ recruitment team, but you’ll own the client relationship and be responsible for turning opportunities into revenue.

Key Responsibilities

Identify and target new construction and infrastructure clients.

Arrange and attend face-to-face meetings with prospective clients.

Build relationships with Directors, Commercial Managers, Project Managers, Procurement teams and other key decision-makers.

Understand clients’ workforce and recruitment challenges.

Present and sell the Venture Construction Solutions value proposition.

Close new business face-to-face.

Develop and manage your own pipeline of prospective clients.

Generate opportunities through networking, referrals, telephone, email, LinkedIn and face-to-face prospecting.

Visit construction sites, offices and client locations.

Negotiate commercial terms and secure new accounts.

Work closely with the recruitment team to convert client requirements into successful placements.

Develop long-term client relationships and identify opportunities to grow accounts.

Maintain accurate CRM records and sales activity.

Achieve agreed new-business, activity and revenue targets.

What We’re Looking For

This is not an entry-level sales role.

You must have demonstrable experience of winning and closing business through face-to-face meetings.

We’re looking for someone who:

Has a proven track record in business development or sales.

Has experience closing deals face-to-face.

Is confident dealing with senior decision-makers.

Is commercially driven and motivated by earning potential.

Can identify a client’s problems and sell a solution.

Is persistent, resilient and hungry for success.

Has excellent communication and negotiation skills.

Is comfortable working to targets.

Can manage their own pipeline and sales activity.

Is professional, personable and credible in front of clients.

Ideally has experience within construction, recruitment, infrastructure, engineering or another B2B environment.

Essential Requirements

Proven face-to-face sales and business development experience.

Demonstrable experience of closing new business.

Full, clean UK driving licence.

Willingness to travel regularly to meet clients.

Strong commercial and negotiation skills.

What You’ll Get

£40,000 basic salary

£100,000+ earning potential

Competitive commission structure

Plus the opportunity to build your own client portfolio within a growing construction recruitment business.

This is a role for someone who wants to earn based on performance. The better you are at winning business, the more you can earn.

The Person We’re Looking For

We’re not looking for someone who simply books meetings and passes them to somebody else.

We’re looking for someone who can walk into a room, build rapport, understand the client’s requirements, confidently sell the solution and ask for the business.

If you’ve got a proven track record of closing B2B business face-to-face, have the confidence to win new clients and want an opportunity with £100k+ earning potential, we’d like to hear from you.
