Business Development Director
If youāre happy and you know it clap your hands,
If youāre happy and you know it, oh, I see youāre not clapping,
Is that because whenever you tell people youāre in ābusiness developmentā they roll their eyes and say, āthatās just salesā?
Well, unfortunately, thatās the kicker of being a top performer, people want to knock you down, but if those people are within your organisation then take it from me, itās time to move on.
If youāre reading this and you know thereās nowhere to go up in your company as your boss isnāt going anywhere and youāve become part of āthe machineā without even knowing it, itās time to move on
If an opportunity presents itself to lead from the front, recruit your own team and create, develop and implement strategy sat with the MD not underneath, then only you know if itās time to move on.
Which leads me not so subtlety to the opportunity we have.
Let us be frank, this opportunity is all about sales, strategy, marketing and winning new business.
It takes a special kind of person to stand up and say, yes thatās what Iām all about and I love it.
We know why.. money, fame and glory?
Well, thatās a by-product, of course, however, the person whoās going to take this job wears their heart on their sleeve, loves working with a team and is champing at the bit to have their ideas listened to and most importantly, acted upon.
Based in Central London this Live Events agency has a reputation for punching above its weight, bloodying the noses of the so-called ābig boys & girlsā because they understand the client is the most important entity, not who shouts the loudest.
They need your help though. They need the help of a successful BD professional who is looking to take more of a leadership role in both sales and marketing as well as working on the NB strategy for the group.
Yes, thatās right, the group.
Although this agency might seem small from the outside, it has revenue of Ā£2.3m and is part of a Ā£30m group that leaves it to its own devices. Add on a 20+ year trading history and more well-known brands as clients than you can shake a stick at means you will be armed to the teeth the next time a prospective client asks you, ācan you show us some case studies pleaseā or āprove to us you have the experienceā
A bona fide business development opportunity that isnāt knocking on doors, banging the phones until your fingers bleed and playing the numbers game, but is, and letās not ignore this, going to be a tough gig at the start but with a 2-year plan to the top table on offer, a great chance to write your own ticket.
If this opportunity sounds like your cup of tea, please get in touch for a confidential chat to.
If this role doesnāt sound like you but you know someone whoād be keen, please share as we run a Ā£1,000 referral scheme.
