Job description

Want to earn £35k in your first year and get promoted in as little as 6 months?

This Is Prime is one of the UK's leading graduate sales recruitment agencies, recognised as BESMA's Sales Training Provider of the Year. We're also the business behind the Changing the Perception of Sales podcast and the Prime Sales Academy, which has trained and placed hundreds of graduates into sales careers across the UK and US.
Now, we're growing our own internal Graduate SDR team - and this is your opportunity to get in early, learn from industry leaders and build a career with genuine progression opportunities.
You'll join a small, tight-knit team led by Kyle Gallagher, Prime's Sales Director and first-ever hire. The team already has a proven track record of progression, with one current SDR promoted to Senior SDR after just 11 months. We're looking for someone ambitious enough to follow the same path.

What's in it for you?

£26,000 basic salary and £35,000 OTE , with uncapped commission from day one.

Rapid progression , with promotion opportunities from as early as 6 months.

Industry-leading training through the Prime Sales Academy, weekly leadership sessions and dedicated one-to-one coaching.

Quarterly target-hitting lunches at some of Manchester's top restaurants.

Company trips abroad , with previous destinations including Budapest, Lisbon, Dublin, Berlin and Dubrovnik.

Free gym membership and daily breakfast.

Fully stocked drinks fridge and a 3pm Friday finish.

Team incentives and regular socials , including darts, bowling, meals out and more.

A 21st-floor office at Manchester One, Portland Street.

The Role

As one of Prime's first Graduate SDRs, you'll play an important role in growing the business and generating new opportunities for our divisional leaders across Manchester, the wider UK and the US.
You'll be responsible for identifying potential clients, starting conversations with senior decision-makers and booking meetings that help drive business growth.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
Prospecting and outreach: Identify and engage potential clients through calls, LinkedIn, email and video.

Engaging decision-makers: Build relationships with VPs, Heads of Sales and CEOs across a range of businesses.

Qualifying leads: Understand prospects' needs and identify opportunities for Prime's divisional leaders.

Booking meetings: Generate quality sales opportunities across Manchester, regional UK markets and the US.

Building your personal brand: Develop your LinkedIn presence and establish yourself as a credible professional.

Managing your pipeline: Keep track of prospects, conversations and opportunities through the CRM.

No previous experience is required. You'll receive full training and the support needed to develop your skills, build confidence and start delivering results.

Training & Development

You'll be learning directly from people who have built successful careers in sales and recruitment, with structured development from day one.
Direct coaching from Kyle Gallagher , Prime's Sales Director and first-ever hire.

Ongoing support from the founders , giving you exposure to the people driving the business forward.

Weekly leadership sessions through the Prime Sales Academy to sharpen your commercial and professional skills.

One-to-one coaching to help you develop, improve performance and work towards your next promotion.

Cross-divisional exposure from day one , giving you insight into different teams, markets and areas of the business.

The aim is to give you the training, experience and opportunities to progress quickly - with a clear example of what that progression can look like already within the team.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for a recent graduate who wants more than just a first job. You don't need previous sales experience or an impressive CV - your attitude, ambition and willingness to learn matter far more.
You'll be a strong fit if you're:
Ambitious and competitive: Motivated to succeed individually while contributing to the wider team's success.

Resilient and organised: Able to handle setbacks, manage multiple priorities and maintain momentum in a fast-paced environment.

Personable and confident: Comfortable starting conversations and engaging with senior business decision-makers.

Money-motivated: Excited by uncapped commission, performance-based incentives and the opportunity to increase your earnings.

Sociable and team-oriented: Someone who gets involved, contributes to the culture and enjoys being part of a close-knit team.

Open to learning: Ready to take feedback on board, develop new skills and put the work in to progress.

Recent graduates only. No experience required - attitude matters more than a CV.

Ready to get started?

This is your chance to join a growing internal team at one of the UK's leading graduate sales recruitment businesses, learn directly from experienced leaders and build your career from the ground up.
With uncapped commission, structured training, international company trips and promotion opportunities from as early as 6 months, the opportunity is there for someone willing to put in the work.
