So what exactly is a New Business Development Consultant?

Well, it could be you. If you’re super bright, can talk to all types of people and you’re not afraid of hard work - you could be just the person we’re looking for.

At Alchemis, you’ll be working with clients in the marketing, creative and communications industries, so we’re talking about PR agencies, web designers, research agencies, graphic designers and direct marketing companies.

Your clients want more business. So as a New Business Development Consultant you’ll basically have two main roles:

1. Pitching to senior decision makers on behalf of your client and generating quality appointments
2. Managing client relationships

In fact, the success of the B2B appointment setting campaign depends on the relationship you have with your client.

Is a New Business Development Consultant just a telephone sales job?

As a New Business Development Consultant you will be making phone calls. And lots of them. But this is about as far away from a telesales job as you can get.

After three months you’ll probably be managing five clients. This could be a West End PR agency, a specialist packaging design agency in Surrey or a young up-and-coming online marketing company in Manchester.

You’ll work on a different client each day, so the work is pretty varied. You’re not having the same conversation every day with the same type of people.

It’s not about picking up the phone and making cold calls. It’s about intelligent targeting; you’ll have a client that specialises in PR for retail and you’ll find out that a top high street retailer is on the look out for a new PR agency. As a New Business Development Consultant your job is to get that crucial appointment for your client.

Think you’ve got the skills to be a Business Development consultant?

To be a Business Development Consultant at Alchemis, you’ll definitely need at least two years experience in any selling environment.

At the moment you probably work in media sales or recruitment. You may be a New Business Manager. Or perhaps you’re working in an appointment setting role.

Whatever your current role, we’re looking for someone who is flexible, versatile and a brilliant communicator.

So why join Alchemis as a Business Development Consultant?

You’ll probably spend more time with us than you will with your family and friends. So we’ll make sure that working at Alchemis is productive, rewarding and enjoyable.

As one of our Business Development Consultants you’ll receive tremendous support from us and you’ll be expected to contribute to the success of the company.

We give the best training around, and you’ll have the opportunity to develop your career in an exciting industry. We’ll pay you a competitive salary with a performance related bonus, so if you work hard you’ll be rewarded.

And of course we’re right in the heart of London’s West End near Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square tube stations. So we have some of the best creative agencies right on our doorstep, as well as some great places to relax after a busy day in the office.
