Checkatrade is the go-to marketplace for trades and consumers alike, and we are on a mission to be the trusted foundation of every home. We're seeking talented, motivated Business Development Specialists to join our team and play a crucial role in our continued growth! This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, results-driven individual with a passion for connecting with people and a hunger for success, looking to kickstart their career in a dynamic, high-growth environment with 0-2 years of experience in a similar role.

Where Do You Fit In?

As a Business Development Specialist at Checkatrade, you'll be on the front lines of our growth efforts, focusing on identifying and creating new opportunities. This isn't a closing role; instead, you'll be the engine that fuels our pipeline by proactively sourcing leads, engaging with potential customers, and generating interest in Checkatrade's offerings.

You'll be responsible for:

• Identifying and researching potential leads through various channels, understanding their needs, and assessing their fit for Checkatrade.
• Initiating engaging conversations with prospects through calls, emails, and other outreach methods to qualify their interest and pain points.
• Articulating Checkatrade's value proposition clearly and persuasively, sparking curiosity and building rapport.
• Nurturing leads through the initial stages of the client journey, ensuring a smooth handoff to our account management team for deeper engagement.
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of all interactions and lead information within Salesforce.
• Collaborating closely with our account management team and other internal teams to share insights, refine outreach strategies, and maximize lead conversion.
  
  

• A competitive salary with an uncapped commission structure, directly rewarding your success in generating quality leads.
• The chance to be part of a high-energy, growth-focused team where your contributions directly impact our business trajectory.
• A clear career progression path specifically designed to transition successful Business Development Specialists into account management roles, supported by comprehensive training, coaching, and ongoing development to refine your skills.
• A comprehensive benefits package including discounts from a wide range of retailers, a healthcare cash plan, and a scheme to help you buy the latest bikes or tech gadgets (plus much more!).
• Hybrid working opportunities to provide flexibility and work-life balance.
• The chance to work in an inclusive and collaborative team culture, where your success is celebrated!
  
  

• 0-2 years of work experience in a business development, lead generation, client outreach, or similar customer-facing role.
• A results-driven mindset with the resilience and determination to consistently identify and qualify new opportunities.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly and articulate value clearly and concisely.
• A proactive and self-motivated approach, with a genuine passion for identifying and creating new business opportunities.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for effective lead management.
• Experience using Salesforce or similar CRM tools to manage leads and track interactions is a plus, but not essential – we'll provide training!
