Junior Sales Executive

Job description

Are you competitive, driven, and serious about building a career in sales?

A fast-growing, independent time-critical freight forwarding business is looking for a Junior Sales Executive to join their team. Working across sectors such as aerospace, healthcare, energy, and marine, this company delivers when failure is not an option — where speed, precision, and reliability truly matter.

This is not a passive or account management role. This is an opportunity to step into a high-performance sales environment where you’ll be expected to create opportunities, open doors, and build your own pipeline from day one.

You’ll be at the forefront of new business generation — identifying prospects, starting conversations, and booking qualified meetings with decision-makers.

You’ll work closely with experienced leadership and receive hands-on training in:

• Time-critical logistics
• Commercial awareness
• Structured sales development

This role is designed as a launchpad into a Business Development Manager position.

• Proactively prospecting via phone, email, and LinkedIn
• Targeting key industries including aerospace, healthcare, energy, and marine
• Identifying and qualifying time-sensitive logistics opportunities
• Building and managing a structured sales pipeline
• Booking and attending client meetings
• Maintaining accurate CRM records

Experience in freight or logistics is helpful — but not essential.

What matters most is mindset. You’ll be:

• Competitive and financially motivated
• Comfortable picking up the phone and making outbound calls daily
• Resilient, with the ability to handle rejection
• Disciplined, organised, and self-driven
• Clear and confident in communication
• Ambitious, with a genuine desire to build a long-term sales career

If you’re looking for a quiet, admin-based role — this isn’t it.

If you want growth, ownership, and earning potential — read on.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive base salary
• Uncapped commission
• Clear progression to Business Development Manager
• Direct exposure to senior leadership
• Ongoing training in sales and commercial negotiation
• The chance to grow with a scaling, ambitious business

Career Path

This company hires for the long term. High performers quickly progress into roles with full revenue ownership, increased responsibility, and significant earning potential.
