Field Business Development Executive Derby (HF133496122)

Field Business Development Executive – B2B Logistics

Derby (field‑based)

£28,000–£32,000 basic salary + £20,000 OTE (realistic in year one)

The opportunity

We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a nationally recognised household name in the logistics sector. This is a field‑based Business Development Executive position, focused on developing new B2B relationships with local businesses rather than selling to the public.

This is a professional, consultative sales role where meetings take place in offices, depots and business premises — not on residential doorsteps.

To clarify from the outset, this role is not door‑to‑door sales.

You will be working exclusively with business customers, within a defined territory, supported by the credibility and reputation of a well‑established national brand.

What the role involves

• Identify and develop new B2B opportunities across Derby and surrounding areas
• Meet prospective clients face‑to‑face to understand their logistics requirements
• Build long‑term partnerships rather than chasing short‑term wins
• Manage and develop your own pipeline of business opportunities
• Organise your own diary and work independently in the field

This role is well suited to someone who enjoys relationship‑building, autonomy, and variety in their working week.

Who our client is looking for

Previous sales experience is not essential. Our client is far more interested in potential, attitude and transferable skills than a traditional sales background.

Applications are welcomed from individuals with experience in areas such as:

• Customer service or hospitality
• Retail or other field‑based roles
• Recruitment, telesales or account management
• Any role involving communication, influence or relationship‑building

Essential requirements

• A full UK driving licence
• Access to your own car (face‑to‑face client visits are a core part of the role)
• Confidence dealing with business owners and decision‑makers
• A genuine desire to learn and develop within a structured sales environment

What’s on offer

• £28,000–£32,000 basic salary
• £20,000 OTE, realistically achievable in your first year
• Industry‑leading B2B sales training and ongoing coaching
• Clear progression opportunities into senior sales or account management roles
• The chance to represent a highly respected national brand

Interested? If you’re based in Derby, enjoy meeting new people, and are looking to build a long‑term career in B2B business development with training, support and genuine earning potential, this opportunity is well worth exploring.
