Business Development Executive (Franchise & Sales Growth)

Job description

Salary: £28,000 – £35,000 basic + commission / performance-based bonus

Start Date: ASAP

About Pokidol

Pokidol is an early-stage, fast-growing UK-based brand specialising in personalised full-colour 3D figurine solutions. We provide high-quality, customised 3D portrait products for both individual consumers and commercial partners.

We are currently at a critical phase of national expansion, focused on building and scaling our franchise network across the UK.

This is a pivotal moment for Pokidol. We are assembling our core commercial team and plan to recruit multiple business-focused roles to support equipment sales and franchise partner development, with direct responsibility for driving revenue growth.

If you are results-driven, comfortable taking ownership, and motivated by visible, real-world impact and progression, this role may be an excellent fit for you.

Role Overview

We are seeking a results-oriented Business Development Executive to support Pokidol’s continued growth in the UK market.

This is a highly execution-focused, deal-driven role.

You will be responsible for sourcing, qualifying and progressing sales and franchise opportunities, working closely with the internal team to close key commercial deals.

This is not a traditional “corporate sales” position. It is a hands-on, fast-paced role within a start-up environment, where initiative, follow-through and outcomes matter.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and contact potential franchise partners and B2B clients
• Follow up on inbound enquiries and conduct outbound business development where required
• Qualify prospective partners and clients, assessing commercial fit and genuine intent
• Present Pokidol’s products, solutions and franchise model clearly and professionally (online and offline)
• Actively manage opportunities through to contract signing
• Maintain accurate and well-organised sales records using a CRM or internal tracking tools
• Manage multiple opportunities simultaneously while maintaining momentum across the sales pipeline

What We Are Looking For

• Experience in B2B sales, business development or a related commercial role
• Confidence in communicating with business owners, managers and decision-makers
• Strong communication skills and sound commercial judgement
• Well-organised, persistent, and comfortable with follow-ups and rejection
• Strong results orientation with a genuine interest in closing deals and driving revenue
• Ability to independently manage your own sales pipeline and work priorities

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience in franchising, channel partnerships or equipment sales
• Experience using CRM systems

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary (£28k–£35k, dependent on experience)
• Commission and performance-based bonuses directly linked to results
• Direct collaboration with the founder and exposure to meaningful commercial decision-making
• Clear progression opportunities as the company grows
• Potential to develop into a senior commercial or management role

Why This Role Is Different

• You will be a key early team member, not just part of a system
• Your work will have a direct and measurable impact on company revenue and expansion
• You will be involved in the full deal lifecycle, from first contact to signed agreement
• You will help shape Pokidol’s sales and franchise model, rather than simply following a script

We look forward to working with you to drive the next stage of Pokidol’s growth.
