UPU Industries is an established Northern Ireland manufacturer supplying innovative agricultural and industrial packaging products to customers across the UK and international markets.
As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an enthusiastic, confident and driven individual to join our sales team and help us develop new business opportunities.
The Role
If you enjoy starting conversations, building relationships and turning promising contacts into real business opportunities, this role gives you the chance to make a visible contribution to our growth.
As our Internal Sales and Lead Generation Executive, you will identify potential customers, make the first connection and develop qualified opportunities for our UK and Export Sales teams to pursue.
This is a proactive, telephone-based sales role for someone who enjoys a challenge, is comfortable making outbound calls and finds satisfaction in turning a cold contact into a genuine business opportunity.
Key Responsibilities
- Research and identify potential customers across the UK and international markets
- Make outbound calls to introduce UPU Industries and our product range
- Build relationships with prospective customers and key decision-makers
- Identify customer requirements, purchasing volumes and potential sales opportunities
- Arrange qualified meetings and introductions for our sales team
- Follow up initial enquiries and maintain regular contact with prospective customers
- Maintain accurate customer records and sales activity within our HubSpot CRM system
- Work closely with our UK and Export Sales teams to support business growth
- Achieve agreed activity and lead generation targets
What We’re Looking For
- A confident communicator who enjoys speaking to people
- A positive, enthusiastic attitude with a willingness to pick up the phone
- Self-motivation, resilience and the ability to handle rejection
- Strong organisational and follow-up skills
- Good attention to detail and basic computer skills
- A genuine interest in sales and business development
- The ability to work independently while contributing to a wider sales team
Previous experience in telesales, lead generation, customer service or business development would be an advantage, but is not essential.
We are equally interested in individuals with the right personality, attitude and willingness to learn.
What We Offer
- Competitive basic salary with performance-related bonus opportunities
- Full product and sales training
- The opportunity to work with an established Northern Ireland manufacturer
- Exposure to UK and international markets
- A supportive, experienced sales team
- Opportunities for career development and progression in a fast-growing global industry
Interested?
If you’re confident, motivated and enjoy the challenge of creating new business opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
