Growth team
Business and Account Manager
As a Business and Account Manager you will play a key role in driving sales and achieving targets by selling Policy in Practice’s four core products.
Your primary target clients will be local authorities, housing associations, and Citizens Advice offices, with secondary targets in third sector and private sector organisations as advised.
You will be responsible for managing the entire sales cycle, which varies between three to twelve months, ensuring consistent achievement of monthly sales targets. Additionally, you will focus on client retention and renewals, while identifying relevant upsell opportunities to maximise long term value.
Success in this role will require:
- Proactive relationship management, cultivating long term partnerships with clients
- Strong prospecting skills, including a minimum of five unique effective sales calls per day to build your pipeline
- Handling objections with confidence, developing and refining sales scripts and processes that can be shared with the wider sales team
- A consultative sales approach, identifying client pain points and aligning our solutions through insightful questioning and critical listening
While you’ll be part of a wider collaborative team, this role requires a high degree of autonomy. You will report directly to the Commercial Director, ensuring structured oversight, clear accountability, and effective reporting. Strong organisation, record keeping, and time management will be essential.
