Desk Sales Professional (Mid-Market)

Location: Birmingham

AI Interview: Due to high number of applications, we're using an AI platform to assist with screening applications. This will involve a 20-25 mins interview via a chat platform, after which you will immediately receive feedback based on your responses. All applications will be reviewed by a recruiter, and you'll be informed whether or not you've been progressed to the next stage - meeting the hiring manager.

About the role

This is a desk‑based sales role focused on managing and growing a portfolio of mid‑market customers (typically 50–249 employees). You’ll own a defined account base of around 100 business customers, building strong relationships, identifying opportunities, and proactively selling BT solutions that help customers grow and operate more effectively.

This is a hands‑on, phone‑led sales role where success comes from strong engagement, consistent activity, and ownership of your pipeline and targets. You’ll work with customers end‑to‑end — from relationship building and active selling through to renewal, upsell, and ongoing account management.

Mid‑Market sits at a strategic sweet spot — large enough to sell meaningful, complex solutions, but agile enough to avoid enterprise‑level bureaucracy. You’ll have direct access to decision‑makers, faster sales cycles, and the opportunity to see real impact from the relationships you build.

You’ll be trusted to run your own accounts, supported by strong, visible leadership, regular coaching, and a team culture that values performance, resilience, and collaboration.

What you’ll be doing

- Managing a portfolio of approximately 100 mid‑market business accounts, acting as the main point of contact
- Proactively selling over the phone, identifying upsell and cross‑sell opportunities within existing accounts
- Building trusted relationships with decision‑makers, often MDs or senior leaders
- Owning your forecast and performance, working to weekly and monthly sales targets
- Managing your own CRM, pipeline, and time, with autonomy to run your account base effectively
- Working closely with internal teams (billing, back office, specialists) to deliver for customers
- Navigating internal processes to ensure deals progress smoothly and customers have a positive experience
