Join One of the World’s Leading Business Events Companies

At Business Show Media, we create far more than exhibitions - we build opportunities for ambitious businesses to grow, connect, and succeed.

As a global leader in business events, our shows bring together entrepreneurs, SMEs, and industry innovators from across the world. With major exhibitions in London, Las Vegas, Miami, Sydney, and Singapore, we’re growing rapidly - and we’re looking for ambitious sales professionals ready to grow with us.

The Opportunity

This is more than a sales job - it’s a genuine career accelerator.

As a Sales Executive, you’ll take ownership of the full sales cycle, selling exhibition space and sponsorship packages to businesses looking to reach the UK market. You’ll be joining a high-performance environment with clear progression routes and the opportunity to fast-track your career toward senior leadership positions, including Event Director.

If you’re commercially driven, motivated by success, and excited by high earning potential, this role offers the platform to build an exceptional career.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing the full sales process from lead generation to closing deals
• Selling exhibition stands and sponsorship opportunities for leading UK business events
• Building strong relationships with business owners and senior decision-makers
• Engaging with clients via phone, email, and LinkedIn
• Understanding client objectives and delivering tailored event solutions
• Developing and managing a high-value sales pipeline
• Collaborating closely with marketing, operations, and event teams
• Attending live events and closing deals onsite

What We’re Looking For

We want ambitious, confident individuals who thrive in a target-driven environment and are hungry to succeed.

You’ll ideally be:

• Motivated, competitive, and results-driven
• Confident communicating with businesses and decision-makers
• Commercially aware with a strong desire to win
• Resilient and positive under pressure
• Interested in business, entrepreneurship, and live events
• Driven by progression, success, and uncapped earnings

Previous sales experience is an advantage, but not essential - full training and ongoing development will be provided.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive base salary of £26,000 – £30,000
• Uncapped commission structure with realistic Year 1 earnings of £60,000 – £70,000
• Top performers earning £100,000+
• Structured onboarding, training, and continuous development
• Clear progression pathway to senior roles, including Event Director
• Opportunities to attend major UK and international events
• A vibrant, ambitious, and high-energy team environment
• Regular incentives, rewards, socials, and team events

Ready to Take the Next Step?

If you’re looking for a role where hard work is recognised, earning potential is uncapped, and career progression is genuinely achievable, we’d love to hear from you.
