About the role

Our aim is to become a leading provider of charging solutions to UK businesses, so we’re looking for an EV Business Development Executive to support our rapid ascent in the marketplace.

This is an exciting time to join our EV team, as we are investing significantly to ensure further success and growth. This role is focused on supporting UK businesses specifically

Day-to-day duties

Selling – A core part of this opportunity is the achievement of both individual revenue and sales targets. You will do this by identifying, connecting with, engaging and then converting target businesses while generating revenue; 50% over the telephone and Zoom, and 50% in face-to-face interactions. Reviewing and planning – Undertake regular detailed commercial reviews of the sales pipeline to identify areas of opportunity and risks towards success. Each opportunity will require a specific strategy and supporting action plan to ensure the effective management of short-, medium- and long-term deliverables. Using tools and resources – You will use tools like Zoho and salesforce.com to manage a personal pipeline and maximise all selling opportunities. Consulting – This is not a typical sales role; our clients will trust you to reflect our core values and offer a professional service while identifying the most effective solution to suit their needs. Continuous self-improvement – You will be committed to taking on new training opportunities internally and externally, while gaining a thorough understanding of all products, processes and services. This will allow us to meet the bespoke needs of our clients and network effectively across channels to enhance the visibility of our brand in the marketplace.
