Junior Sales Executive

Location: West London (Egham)

Salary: £25,000 – £30,000 basic + Uncapped Commission

OTE Year 1: £45,000

Job Type: Full-time

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Egham

About the Company:

They are a growing, independent time-critical freight forwarding business based in Egham, serving demanding clients in sectors such as aerospace, cruise & marine, healthcare, and energy.

They specialise in handling time-sensitive shipments where precision, speed, and reliability are non-negotiable. Their clients rely on us in situations where failure simply isn't an option. They prioritise building long-term partnerships, protecting healthy margins (targeting 35-40% company margin on good accounts), and delivering proper solutions without shortcuts.

They are a small, high-standards team with strong ambition. They value accountability, urgency, ownership, and people who want to earn through performance in a supportive environment with no micromanaging from senior leadership.

The Role:

This is a proactive, outbound sales role focused purely on generating new business in our target sectors.

You'll be picking up the phone, building profiles from scratch, nurturing leads, starting conversations, qualifying time-critical opportunities, and booking qualified meetings. This is not inbound or account management – it's cold calling, field sales style prospecting, attending industry shows/meet-ups to build relationships, and driving your own pipeline. You'll report directly to the Managing Director in a collaborative setup where the team works together to close deals.

The role offers direct exposure to leadership, hands-on training in time-critical freight and commercial negotiation, and a clear path to Business Development Manager for the right person. High performers will take on full revenue ownership with significant earning potential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prospect and generate new business via outbound telephone, email, and LinkedIn
• Target companies in aerospace, cruise & marine, healthcare, and energy sectors
• Qualify prospects with a focus on time-critical freight needs
• Build and nurture profiles/leads to create opportunities
• Book meetings and maintain a structured sales pipeline
• Keep accurate CRM records
• Support follow-up on proposals and opportunities
• Attend industry shows, networking events, and meet-ups to build relationships
• Achieve KPIs including a minimum of 40 touches per week

What They Are Looking For:

Attitude and drive are everything – freight forwarding experience is preferred but not essential.

You will be:

• Young, determined, and hungry to earn commission
• Competitive and financially motivated
• Comfortable and experienced with cold calling/outbound prospecting (minimum 2 years in sales with a proven track record)
• Resilient – not put off by rejection and able to stay persistent
• Disciplined with time management and activity levels
• Clear and confident communicator
• Ambitious and serious about a long-term sales career
• Able to build profiles, nurture leads, and generate good accounts (targeting £10k+ per month per account at 35-40% company margin)

This is not a comfortable admin-based or low-activity role. If you want real growth, accountability, and uncapped earning potential in a supportive small-team environment, this will suit you.

What You'll Get:

• Base salary £25,000 – £30,000
• Uncapped commission (paid later in the process)
• Clear progression path to Business Development Manager
• Direct reporting to and exposure to the Managing Director
• Hands-on training in time-critical freight and negotiation
• Company car allowance (£500 per month)
• Company pension
• On-site parking
• Private medical insurance
• Opportunity to grow with a scaling independent business
