Business Development Sales Apprentice

You will own the journey from first conversation to signed order. Day to day, that means:

• Researching and contacting prospective customers to identify new business opportunities
• Qualifying leads and moving each opportunity through our sales stages, from Lead and Qualified through Prospect, Contract terms issued and Selected Vendor to Closed Won
• Presenting proposals in person and in writing, and walking customers through our standard form of contract and its key terms
• Keeping HubSpot accurate & up to date, including deal values, stages and expected close dates
• Preparing quotations, proposals and sales documentation
• Attending customer meetings, site visits and demonstrations, with support from experienced colleagues
• Working with our technical, service and support teams to shape solutions that fit each customer
• Contributing to the regular pipeline review with clear, honest forecasting

We deliver this qualification as a blended learning programme which includes both physical and virtual classrooms, eLearning modules, skills development activities, on-the-job training and most importantly one-to-one coaching and support on a monthly basis from a development coach.

You will spend a minimum of 6 hours per week on your apprenticeship.

This role is the start of a sales career with us. As you win business and build your own customer base, you can take on larger opportunities, wider responsibility and more of the recurring software and support book. On successful completion of your apprenticeship, you will be entitled to a 10% pay rise.

A full UK driving licence is required, as the role involves regular travel to customers.
