Graduate Business Development Associate at Beauhurst

Where: Nottingham, United Kingdom

Deadline: July 10, 2020

About the company

Historically, data on the most exciting companies in the UK has been severely lacking. We believe that great data makes for much better decision making, so have built a powerful tool to track every high-growth company in the UK from ‘seed’ through to ‘established’.

Through a combination of people power and machine learning, our searchable platform provides an invaluable picture of the ever-changing high-growth landscape, helping over 1200 professionals across 20+ different industries understand, support, and work with these exciting businesses.

As a dynamic company ourselves, we are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the changing world. Most recently, our data has helped government bodies, investors and advisors understand Covid-19’s impact on businesses, helping to direct support where it is needed most.

About the role

We’re looking for someone ambitious and self-motivated to manage the first stage of the sales cycle, booking in as many new client meetings as possible to help us grow even faster.

Don’t worry, we won’t throw you in the deep end… Within your first couple of weeks, our rigorous training programme will equip you with all the skills you need - you’ll become an expert on our platform and the various different use cases, attend online and in-person client meetings and learn best practice!

After this, you’ll be:

  • Researching: Understanding potential clients to decide whether they would benefit from Beauhurst (and how!)
  • Creating content: Writing targeted, well written pitches to reach out to prospects via email, LinkedIn, or on the phone
  • Selling: Quickly and succinctly getting to the heart of clients’ needs and conveying how different uses of Beauhurst can help them (there are a lot of different ways to use Beauhurst!) to convince them to book a demo.
  • Managing: staying on top of your own pipeline of potential clients
  • Testing: Actively finding ways to improve your own process as well as suggesting ways to improve efficiency of the wider team
  • Helping with strategy: Inputting into longer term strategic thinking - both for the sales team and the company as a whole

Requirements

  • Naturally personable, fun and sociable. Our Sales team are a very fun-loving bunch, so it’s important that you enjoy working alongside others and are excited by the prospect of working towards goals as a team.
  • Intelligent, articulate and organised - you’re confident organising your own time and do so in a practical, efficient manner
  • A fast learner, quick thinker and able to remain calm under pressure
  • Resilient, able to bounce back after a setback, can take on constructive feedback and use this to improve how things are done
  • Highly motivated to succeed/make money/hit targets!
