The Opportunity

This isn’t just another sales role. It’s a launchpad.

As a Sales Executive, you’ll own the full sales cycle - closing high-value exhibition and sponsorship deals with businesses targeting the UK market. More importantly, you’ll be on a clearly defined fast-track path toward senior roles, including Event Director.

If you’re hungry, commercially sharp, and motivated by big earnings and bigger progression, this is where you accelerate.

• Build relationships with decision-makers via phone, email, and LinkedIn

• Understand client needs and pitch tailored event solutions

• Manage and grow a high-value sales pipeline

• Work closely with marketing, business development, and event teams

• Attend live events and close deals onsite

Who You Are

• Confident, persuasive, and energised by sales conversations

• Commercially minded with a strong drive to win

• Resilient and comfortable handling objections

• Interested in business, entrepreneurship, and live events

• Motivated by uncapped commission and rapid career progression

Previous sales experience is beneficial - but not essential. Full training is provided.

What You’ll Get

• £26,000 – £30,000 base salary

• Uncapped commission (OTE £50,000 – £60,000 in Year 1)

• Top performers earning £80,000+
