Sales Executive – Hybrid (Birmingham/West Midlands) £50k OTE Year 1
Are you a natural hunter based in or near the West Midlands? Lion Containers is looking for a driven, hungry Sales Executive to join our team in a hybrid role. Enjoy the flexibility of home working, alongside client visits, with a competitive starting salary of £30,000 to £35,000 + a proven commission structure (£50k Yr 1 OTE, £100k+ Yr 3 OTE).
Who We Are
We are Lion Containers, the UK’s leading experts in shipping container sales and conversions. Established in 2012, we’ve grown into an £8m turnover powerhouse. We don’t just sell boxes; we create bespoke, modified spaces and pride ourselves on outstanding customer service. Now, we need a key player to help us drive the business even further.
The Role: What’s in it for you?
This isn’t a boring desk job where you just wait for things to land in your inbox. We want a genuine hunter. While we provide company-generated leads, you’ll have the fire and enthusiasm to sniff out new business, build rock-solid relationships, and close deals.
· Real Earning Potential: We have a proven, highly lucrative commission structure. Based on what our current team earns, you can realistically expect:
- Year 1 OTE: £50,000
- Year 2 OTE: £70,000
- Year 3 OTE: £100,000+
· Hybrid Freedom: A healthy mix of desk time, face-to-face client meetings and visiting installation depots.
· Ideal Location: While this is a hybrid position, it would be beneficial if you are based in the West Midlands / Birmingham conurbation for easier access to clients and key sites.
· Full Ownership: You own the relationship from the moment you get the lead, right through to closing the deal and seeing the final delivery.
· Team Vibe: You’ll work independently but have the backing of a supportive, collaborative sales team and wider department colleagues.
What You’ll Be Doing (Key Responsibilities)
· Pitching with Passion: Confidently presenting our custom products to clients, tailoring your pitch to what makes them tick.
· Pipeline Mastery: Building and managing an accurate pipeline, keeping our CRM sharp with forecasts and next steps.
· Crushing Targets: Hitting—and exceeding—your personal sales goals to trigger those big commission tiers.
· Partnership Building: Turning new clients into long-term partners who love doing business with us.
What We Are Looking For
· The Track Record: At least 2 years of B2B sales or business development experience (bonus points if it's in a related/technical industry).
· The Location: Ideally living within commuting/travelling distance of the West Midlands/Birmingham area.
· The Hunter Mentality: Proactive, self-motivated and always looking for the next win—not just managing an inherited pipeline.
· The Skills: Strong negotiation skills, a knack for handling objections and confidence presenting at all levels.
· The Essentials: Full driving licence and passport (you’ll be travelling both nationally and internationally to meet clients and suppliers), intermediate Microsoft Office skills and a tech-minded approach to understand our conversion processes. . Lion Containers Ltd cannot offer visa sponsorship. Applicants must already have permission to work in the UK.
The Perks
· Base salary of £30,000 - £35,000 (depending on your experience).
· Uncapped Commission: Highly competitive bonuses based entirely on your achievements.
· Health & Future: Private healthcare and a company pension scheme.
· On the Road: Paid travel expenses for your client visits.
· Balance: Generous paid holiday entitlement.
· Growth: A friendly, supportive work environment with clear pathways for career progression.
