Business Development Executive - (Italian -Language) -Retail- Part Time

Italian-Speaking Business Development Executive – Part-Time

• Love the thrill of opening doors that weren’t open yesterday?
• We’re looking for a driven, energetic Business Development Executive who knows how to turn a cold prospect into a real conversation — and a real conversation into a qualified sales opportunity.
• This is a part-time opportunity for someone who enjoys prospecting, connecting, influencing and winning, and who wants the flexibility of working on a part-time basis.
• This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit back and wait for leads to arrive.
• It’s for someone who enjoys prospecting, connecting, influencing and winning.
• You’ll be joining one of our clients, an exciting technology-focused organisation, and playing a key role in building their pipeline across the Italian market.
• If you’re naturally curious, commercially minded and motivated by seeing your name on the scoreboard, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

• What you'll be doing
• You’ll be at the front line of new business — identifying the right companies, finding the right people and starting conversations that matter.
• Your day will include:
• Hunting for new opportunities and identifying high-potential prospects across the Italian market.
• Creating conversations through a multi-channel approach — telephone, email and LinkedIn.
• Engaging prospects and building relationships from the very first interaction.
• Booking high-quality meetings and creating Sales Qualified Leads for the sales team.
• Understanding prospect needs and qualifying opportunities against agreed criteria.
• Keeping the momentum high, managing a consistent volume of outbound activity while maintaining quality.
• Owning your CRM activity in Salesforce, ensuring account data, activity, qualification details and market feedback are accurate and up to date.
• Working closely with Enterprise Sales and Inside Sales to turn qualified opportunities into pipeline.
• Tracking your performance, understanding what works and continually improving your approach.
• Helping evolve the sales process, sharing market insight and ideas that can make the team even more effective.
• Hitting — and ideally smashing — your monthly qualified-lead targets.
• Who are we looking for?
• We’re looking for someone who gets genuinely excited by new business.
• Someone who doesn't hear "cold call" and immediately reach for the coffee machine.
• You’ll ideally have:
• 2+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally selling IT technologies, solutions or services.
• A genuine passion for prospecting and new business development.
• Experience with cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn and account-based prospecting.
• A high-energy, resilient and positive attitude.
• The ability to handle a high volume of outbound activity without losing focus or enthusiasm.
• A competitive mindset — you want to win, but you also know how to be a great teammate.
• Strong commercial instincts and the ability to identify what makes a prospect worth pursuing.
• Confidence using Salesforce or other CRM and sales-engagement platforms.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to prioritise when things get busy.
• The creativity to try something different.
• Ready to make an impact?
• If you're a fluent Italian-speaking B2B technology salesperson who loves the hunt, thrives on targets and wants to build something rather than simply manage what's already there, Excelerate360 would love to hear from you.
• Fluent Italian, spoken and written, is a non-negotiable requirement for this role.
• Apply now — and let's start a conversation.
