Business Development Trainee

Full-Time | On-Site | Entry Level | Full Training Provided

Looking to build a career in business but need the opportunity to gain real commercial experience first?

We’re looking for a Business Development Trainee to join a growing sales and marketing team. You’ll learn how businesses attract new customers, develop opportunities and turn strong conversations into commercial results.

This is a role where you’ll be encouraged to get involved from the beginning. With full training and ongoing coaching, you’ll develop your skills across sales, communication and business development while gaining a practical understanding of what drives growth.

Role & Responsibilities

Your first stage will focus on building strong commercial foundations and becoming confident working with customers.

You’ll get involved in:

• Speaking with potential customers and understanding their needs
• Introducing relevant products, services and offers
• Building positive customer relationships
• Supporting new customer acquisition
• Working towards sales and business development goals
• Following up on opportunities and customer interest
• Tracking results and understanding performance
• Learning what makes a successful sales approach

You’ll work alongside experienced team members who can provide feedback and help you develop as you go.

Candidate Profile

You don’t need previous business development experience.

We’re interested in your attitude, communication skills and willingness to improve.

You could be a strong fit if you’re:

• Confident starting conversations with new people
• Ambitious and motivated by progression
• A good communicator and listener
• Comfortable working towards goals
• Curious about sales and business
• Proactive and willing to take initiative
• Resilient when things don't go to plan
• Keen to develop professionally

Experience in retail, hospitality, customer service or sales can give you useful transferable skills, but it isn't a requirement. If you're new to business development, that's what the training is there for.

Training & Career Development

As you build your confidence, you’ll start developing a broader understanding of business development, customer acquisition, sales performance and relationship management.

From there, you can work towards taking more responsibility for opportunities and results, while developing further skills in account development, coaching, leadership and team performance.

• Performance-related bonuses
• Full training from the beginning
• Regular coaching and feedback
• Hands-on business development experience
• Clear opportunities for progression
