Sales Representative / Executive Role Overview
About The Role
Our client, a leading B2B service provider in the Westminster area, requires a proactive Sales Representative / Executive to join their dynamic sales team. This is a front-line role focused on generating new business leads, managing a sales pipeline, and closing deals within the professional services sector.
You will be supported by a structured sales process and a collaborative team environment, but success will hinge on your own drive, resilience, and communication skills. This role offers a clear path to a permanent position for performers who consistently meet targets.
We place professionals across various sectors. If this specific sales role isn't the perfect fit, explore our Sales & Retail hub for other opportunities.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Prime Location: Westminster SW1 offers unparalleled networking and business development opportunities.
- Clear Progression: This is a genuine temp-to-perm role, not just a stopgap assignment.
- Immediate Impact: Start contributing from day one with a warm lead list and defined territory.
- Expert Support: Benefit from our Temp Workforce management expertise for seamless onboarding.
Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Prospecting & Lead Generation
Utilise a multi-channel approach (including cold calling, email campaigns, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and networking events) to identify and qualify new business opportunities within the assigned Westminster and Central London territory.
Sales Pipeline Management
Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all sales activities, leads, and opportunities in the company CRM (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot). Move prospects efficiently through the sales funnel from initial contact to closed deal.
Client Meetings & Presentations
Conduct professional sales presentations and product demonstrations, both virtually and in-person at client offices across London. Tailor your pitch to address specific client pain points and business objectives.
Negotiation & Closing
Employ expert negotiation skills to structure deals, overcome objections, and secure signed contracts. Work collaboratively with internal teams to ensure a smooth handover and implementation for new clients.
Market Intelligence & Reporting
Monitor competitor activity and market trends within the Westminster business services sector. Provide regular sales forecasts and activity reports to the Sales Manager, contributing to team strategy.
Essential & Desirable Requirements
1 Must-Have Essentials
- Proven Sales Experience: Minimum of 2 years in a B2B sales environment, with a demonstrable track record of meeting or exceeding targets.

- Tech Proficiency: Confident user of CRM software (Salesforce preferred), Microsoft Office/Google Workspace, and video conferencing tools.
- Drive & Resilience: A self-starter with a positive,"can-do" attitude. Must be comfortable with a target-driven environment and able to handle rejection professionally.
2 Desirable Qualities
- Local Knowledge: Existing network or experience selling within the Westminster, City of London, or wider Central London business landscape.
- Sector Expertise: Prior experience in professional services, financial services, technology, or similar B2B sectors.
- Further Education: A degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field is advantageous but not essential if balanced by strong experience.
- Language Skills: Fluency in an additional language (e.g., French, German, Spanish, Arabic) relevant to the international business community in London.
