Are you a proven cold caller who’s ready for more?
More ownership. More responsibility. More wins. If you are a cold caller who wants more than just a headset, more than just booking meetings, and more than just a job, this is your chance to step up.

If you live for the chase, don’t fear rejection, and get a real buzz from getting a deal over the line, this could be the career move for you! This is not a role where you just make the first call and hand it over. This is end-to-end sales, from the first dial to the signed agreement, with face-to-face meetings and full ownership of your pipeline.

The client
We are recruiting on behalf of an award-winning digital marketing agency that is growing fast and investing heavily in its sales team. They are looking for a true hunter someone who loves sales, thinks creatively, and leaves absolutely no stone unturned when it comes to winning new business.

This role is perfect for someone who has cut their teeth in cold calling and now wants to step up into a dual role where they can build real relationships, meet prospects face to face, and close their own deals.

The role
You will start by doing what you do best: picking up the phone, opening doors, and creating opportunities. In the early days, this is a cold role, and you must be comfortable making high-volume outbound calls. As your pipeline builds, you will manage the full sales process and represent the agency in self-generated client meetings.

This role is not for everyone and that’s exactly why it’s exciting. This is perfect if you currently work in an SDR/ BDE/ Sales Executive or similar sales role.

Has proven cold calling experience (B2B preferred but not essential)
Is a genuine new business hunter, not an account manager
