Sales Business Development Executive

Salary: £30,000–£40,000, depending on experience, plus performance-related bonus

About Ivory Egg

Ivory Egg has supported the UK smart building industry for more than 20 years.

We work with respected manufacturers of intelligent and open-standard building technology, supporting Integrators, Consultants and Specifiers across residential, commercial and hospitality projects.

Our value goes beyond product supply. We combine high-quality technology with technical knowledge, practical project support and strong, long-term customer relationships.

The opportunity

Ivory Egg is looking for a driven, new-business-focused sales professional to help grow our presence across the UK smart building sector.

This is a role for someone who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities and building lasting commercial relationships, not simply managing an existing account list.

You will promote KNX products, systems and wider smart building solutions, supported by Ivory Egg’s technical and internal teams. You will identify new prospects, develop a strong sales pipeline and help customers select the right products and solutions for their projects.

Key responsibilities

• Identify and develop new business opportunities
• Generate leads and build a healthy sales pipeline
• Promote and sell KNX products, systems and smart building solutions
• Build relationships with Integrators, Consultants and Specifiers
• Develop existing customer relationships and identify opportunities for growth
• Conduct client meetings and site visits where required
• Prepare quotations and provide product recommendations
• Work closely with the technical and internal sales teams
• Maintain accurate customer records and sales reports
• Meet or exceed agreed monthly and annual sales targets

About you

You will be proactive, commercially minded and confident developing new relationships.

You should have:

• At least two years’ proven sales experience
• Experience generating and converting new business
• An understanding of the construction project lifecycle
• Knowledge of smart building or related technology, such as electrical systems, KNX, lighting control, DALI, automation, smart homes or AV
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A confident and professional approach to customer meetings
• Good organisational and pipeline-management skills
• The motivation and resilience to work towards sales targets
• A valid UK driving licence

Technical knowledge is important, but equally important is the ability to understand customer requirements, communicate value clearly and turn opportunities into long-term commercial relationships.

What we offer

• £30,000–£40,000 salary, depending on experience
• Performance-related bonus
• Travel expenses
• Training and career development
• Pension
• Healthcare benefits
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays

Why join Ivory Egg?

This is an opportunity to join an established business at an important stage of growth.

You will represent respected smart building technology manufacturers, work alongside an experienced technical team and play a direct role in developing new customers, projects and partnerships.
