So what exactly is a New Business Manager?
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, Advertising agencies, web designers, research agencies, graphic designers and direct marketing companies.
Your clients want more business. So as a New Business Manager you’ll basically have two main roles:
- Phoning marketing decision makers on behalf of your clients to generate quality appointments
- Managing client relationships
In fact, the success of your new business campaign depends on the relationship you have with your client as well as your ability to make quality telephone calls on their behalf.
Is the New Business Manager's role just another telephone sales job?
There is no doubt that as a New Business Manager you will be making a lot of phone calls but it's not just about that.
It’s also 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 Manager your job is to get that crucial appointment for your client.
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.
Could you be an Alchemis New Business Manager?
Successful candidates would normally need a minimum of six months selling in a sales environment.
At the moment you could work in media sales or recruitment. You may be a New Business Manager in-house at an agency or perhaps you’re working in an appointment setting role for telemarketing company.
Whatever your current role, we’re looking for someone who is flexible, versatile, an effective communicator and is not afraid of getting on the phone.
