As a New Business Hunter you will be responsible for targeting new organisations across your territory. You will focus on Passport and Via subscriptions, identify opportunities for Consulting projects as well as supplying clients with extracts and one-off reports. You will be a highly self-motivated sales professional with a proven track record for selling in the business-to-business arena. You’ll have the tenacity, drive, commercial awareness and persuasiveness to find the right contacts, understand the client’s issues, and match and apply the benefits in your solution.
