Working with a diverse portfolio of UK-based clients, you’ll be responsible for identifying and engaging prospective customers, building strong outbound pipelines, qualifying opportunities, and supporting revenue growth.

What You will do

As a Internal Sales Executive you will:

  • Generate and qualify new business leads through structured, high-volume outbound activity across multiple channels including email, LinkedIn, phone, and events.
  • Run and refine sales cadences to increase connection rates and optimise conversions from prospect to qualified opportunity.
  • Execute omnichannel outreach campaigns, integrating personalised messaging with marketing automation tools, CRM workflows, and social selling strategies.
  • Collaborate closely with the marketing team to align outbound efforts with campaign content, nurture sequences, and brand positioning.
  • Leverage CRM platforms (HubSpot / Pipedrive etc) to manage pipeline data, track outreach effectiveness, and produce actionable performance insights.
  • Conduct deep account research to identify prospect needs, buying triggers, and decision-making hierarchies.
  • Craft value led messaging tailored to industry pain points, sustainability goals, and cost-saving opportunities.
  • Schedule discovery meetings and product demos for the Sales Manager or Account Executive team, ensuring a seamless handover of qualified opportunities.
  • Report on key metrics including number of qualified leads generated, meetings booked, conversion ratios, and campaign ROI.
  • Continuously test new outreach methods, automation tools, and messaging approaches to improve efficiency and response rates.

What We are Looking For

As a Internal Sales Executive / Business Development Representative (BDR) / Sales Development Representative (SDR), you are more than a prospector but will showcase exceptional attributes as a commercial growth partner.

  • A proven record of consistently exceeding activity and pipeline targets, with measurable success in generating qualified opportunities.
  • Expertise in running sales cadences and using automation and sequencing tools (HubSpot Sequences, SalesLoft, Outreach.io, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of omnichannel sales strategies, blending phone, email, LinkedIn, and social channels to engage hard-to-reach decision-makers.
  • Must have displayed an excellent track record with tenure throughout their career.

Marketing Alignment and Data Fluency:

  • Experience working in partnership with marketing teams to synchronise messaging, campaigns, and lead nurturing workflows.
  • Comfortable using CRM analytics and dashboards to monitor engagement rates, conversion trends, and pipeline velocity.
  • Familiarity with lead scoring models and data enrichment tools (e.g. LinkedIn Sales Navigator).

Commercial Awareness and Communication:

  • Excellent communication, storytelling, and consultative questions skills
  • The ability to translate technical or sustainability focused offerings, into commercial value propositions that resonate with business leaders.
  • Resilient, curious, and motivated and someone who embraces rejection as part of the process and constantly seeks to improve results.
