Job description

Headline Events Ltd is one of the UK’s fastest-growing VIP hospitality companies, delivering outstanding experiences at the world’s biggest sport and music events.

We are expanding our Manchester office and looking for a proven sales professional who knows how to prospect, pitch, and close and who thrives in a performance‑driven environment. This is not a customer‑service role. This is a high‑energy, outbound sales position built for people who want to win.

If you have the attitude, the discipline, and the hunger to chase new business every day, you’ll do exceptionally well here.

Manchester | Full‑Time | £24,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission

Year 1 OTE £50K | Year 2 OTE £75K | Year 3 OTE £100K+

The Role

• Sell premium VIP hospitality packages to B2B and B2C clients
• Daily outbound prospecting with full telephone pitches
• Build your own pipeline from scratch and convert consistently
• Hold structured follow‑up calls, issue quotes, and close deals
• Manage accounts and drive repeat business
• Represent Headline Events at major UK and international events

This role requires confidence, control of the conversation, and the ability to build urgency.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous sales experience is essential (phone‑based preferred)
• A genuine hunter mentality — proactive, persistent, and competitive
• Strong closer with the ability to handle objections professionally
• Resilient, disciplined, and target‑driven
• Comfortable working at pace and taking ownership of results
• Interest in sport, live entertainment, or major events is a bonus

If you enjoy chasing business, building relationships, and outperforming targets, this environment will suit you perfectly.

What You’ll Get

• £24,000 basic salary + uncapped commission
• Year 1 OTE £50K+ (high performers exceed this quickly)
• Clear progression to Senior Executive, Team Leader, and Management
• Daily, weekly, and monthly incentives
• Access to major global sports and music events
• Late Start Mondays (10am) and Early Finish Fridays (3pm)
• Full training, ongoing development, and a high‑performance culture
