DP Business Events, a well-established meet-the-buyer event organiser with over 21 years of experience, is seeking a talented Telesales Executive to join our team on a permanent basis.

We are a market leader in hosting highly focused B2B events across the Hotel, Warehouse, Hospitality, Healthcare, Property and Logistics sectors. Our events take place at luxurious venues in the UK and EU, spanning 2 3 days, and are attended by senior-level delegates, with attendance ranging up to 300+ participants.

Our unique format, Meet The Buyer, brings Suppliers and Buyers together under one roof. These events are carefully facilitated and hosted by our team, ensuring all clients are supported throughout the process.

The Role:
As a Sales Executive, you will leverage your sales expertise to engage with various supplier companies. Your role will be pivotal in connecting these businesses with key buyers and influencers attending our events.

The event format is called Meet the Buyer ; which puts suppliers directly in front of senior buyers from leading companies so supply deals and opportunities can be discussed and agreed. Delegates meet in one-to-one appointment sessions and are all based at the same location so for the total duration of the event they can concentrate totally on winning orders and doing deals. These events are facilitated and hosted by our client. There are endless numbers of leading companies and brands who attend.

Your job as a Sales Exec is to use your sales skills to win the attendance of companies who want to attend to meet and do business with the attending buyers at the event. You will research the market, use Google/Linked-In and more, build pipelines and sell via phone to these companies, informing them of the full features and benefits of attending and then close the sale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Use your sales skills to attract companies to participate in our events.
• Identify and approach potential clients using tools such as Google and LinkedIn, and build a robust sales pipeline.
• Present the benefits of our events to potential clients, negotiate packages, and secure their participation.
• Manage your own client accounts, develop relationships, and ensure client satisfaction.
• Attend events to understand the environment and ensure successful outcomes for your clients.

The Candidate:

• Proven track record in a senior sales or telesales role.
• Ability to work independently and take initiative.
• Confident in pitching ideas and negotiating terms.
• Demonstrated success in building and managing sales pipelines.
• Strong skills in maintaining and growing client relationships.
• Understanding of the value of repeat business and client retention.

Package:

• £29k to £32k+ basic, with opportunity to earn team bonus.
• Training in the meet-the-Buyer sector and opportunities for career growth.
• Office-based role (Mon to Fri 9am to 5pm) with a supportive and senior environment.
• Free parking, opportunity to attend events, and a performance-focused team bonus scheme.
