Business Development Representative

📍 Richmond

🚀 VC-Backed Tech Clients

🕒 Type: Full-time

The Sales People is a launchpad for ambitious sales careers.

Not a generic BDR role. Not a CV filler.
A real starting point for people who want to build a serious career in sales.

We’ve trained and hired hundreds of salespeople into high-growth tech businesses and we’re continuing to grow our next cohort of Business Development Representatives.

If you’re hungry, driven, and want progression and earning potential that actually matches your effort, this is for you.

The Role

As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you’ll sit right at the front of revenue growth.

You’ll be responsible for generating and qualifying new opportunities, booking high-quality meetings, and turning early interest into meaningful sales conversations for fast-growing companies.

You will:

• Prospect and outreach to potential customers

• Qualify leads based on fit, urgency, and opportunity

• Book meetings and send clear, tailored follow-ups

• Share market feedback to improve messaging and targeting

• Continuously learn, improve, and upskill your sales craft

There’s genuine scope to influence how things are done. Your ideas and feedback will be valued from day one.

You’ll be employed by one of our high-growth client companies, while working from The Sales People HQ. We know how to build high-performing sales floors and we’ll give you the environment, coaching, and tools to succeed.

Who We’re Looking For

We care far more about attitude and potential than a polished CV.

You’ll thrive here if you have:

• A genuine interest in sales as a long-term career

• High energy, strong communication, and emotional intelligence

• Resilience, positivity, and openness to feedback

• Grit, curiosity, and a desire to improve every single week

• A hunger to learn from experienced sales leaders

• Ability to comfortably cold call, basic sales skills and experience are required

After years of hiring and scaling sales teams across unicorns and fast-growing companies, we know what real sales talent looks like. We back raw ability, drive, and work ethic over titles and buzzwords.

What We Offer

• Placement with exciting, scaling tech companies

• World-class onboarding and sales training from day one

• Fast progression and clear growth pathways

• Strong earning potential for high performers
