It's looking for a genuine new business hunter to build its lift maintenance portfolio across Milton Keynes, Luton and Cambridge. No up-to-date CV? No problem. This starts with an informal & confidential chat with Lisa Nicholls, Head of Sales & Marketing.

Why More Salespeople from competitors Are Joining Less red tape, more selling. You won't spend your week chasing approvals. Our quoting system is slick, decision-makers are accessible, and our MD will look at non-standard terms when there's a good reason. One of our recent hires, who joined from a major OEM, says producing a quote, seeing a customer and getting terms approved is far easier here. A service you won't have to apologise for. Too often in this industry, salespeople win a contract that the service team then can't deliver. Not here. We do proper maintenance visits of around 45 minutes, not a ten-minute box-tick. We make proactive recommendations, manage shutdowns properly and take every customer issue seriously. You'll never look foolish in front of a client because operations let you down. A team, not a lone wolf. Big companies often leave their salespeople to fend for themselves. Here, the sales team works together and pulls in the same direction, with real support behind you. Room to grow. As we scale toward £100m, the sales structure will grow with us, including future leadership roles. Lisa will coach and develop strong performers every step of the way. Earnings that reward results. You'll get a competitive basic plus commission paid on every lift you bring on contract. The best-structured deals earn the most, and good salespeople can earn very well. A Word from Lisa "I joined Liftec because it's an ambitious business with huge potential. It's fast-paced with a great team around you and everyone genuinely wants to help. I felt at home very quickly. We're independent, growing rapidly and there's a real opportunity for good salespeople to come in, make their mark and be part of what we're building." The Opportunity This is a pure new business role. There's no inherited account book and no renewals. Your mission is to win new lift maintenance contracts across a patch with thousands of lifts in it. You'll:

• Build and manage your own prospect pipeline
• Target decision-makers across property management, facilities, building ownership and main contractors
• Take opportunities from first contact through to signed contract
• Conduct site visits and consultative customer meetings
• Prepare proposals, presentations and commercial submissions
• Lead and complete tender submissions, including full commercial review
• Negotiate long-term maintenance agreements
• Keep your CRM pipeline and forecasting accurate
• Work with our operational teams to ensure a smooth handover once business is won Lift service contracts are typically three years and are well written, so some opportunities mean keeping a prospect warm for the long haul. Others can be won quickly, and there are always one- and two-lift wins to be had. You'll need the drive of a hunter and the patience to build relationships over time.

About You

You'll already be selling lift service and maintenance contracts and know how the industry works. This role needs someone who can hit the ground running, so lift industry experience is essential. You'll bring:

• A track record of winning new B2B lift service & maintenance customers
• Strong prospecting and pipeline-building skills
• Consultative, relationship-led selling. SPIN-style approaches work really well here.
• The ability to understand customer pressure points and build trust over long sales cycles
• Strong commercial, negotiation and presentation skills
• Experience with proposals and tenders
• Good CRM and forecasting discipline
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel Service sales here is about long-term relationships and understanding what keeps customers awake at night. It doesn't need the deep engineering expertise of modernisation sales. Our modernisation specialists work alongside you when those opportunities arise. We're looking for people who are open-minded and inquisitive, take extreme ownership, put the customer at the centre and act with honesty and integrity. If that sounds like you, come and help us build what comes next.
