Role scope/purpose

We’re pretty good at demand generation. We get brilliant results and win awards for TMP. That’s why as a department, we’re growing rapidly. If you’re determined, ambitious and a good communicator who would like an inside sales role with a difference, we’d love to hear from you. As one of our Demand Generation Executives, you’ll be identifying senior decision makers and holding high-level conversations to qualify opportunities for our clients’ sales teams, as well as gathering and reporting on business & market intelligence and industry trends for the rest of the agency.

First things first, this isn’t a typical ‘inside sales’ role. We know everyone probably says that, but it’s true. There is far more to it than just calling. We research our prospects, their organisations and their industries. Then we make calls, write emails and use every available channel. We make propositions relevant to every prospect, aligned to both their role and their company objectives.

You won’t just be spending all day on the phone to prospects. Alongside calling, and with the support of your wider integrated agency team, you’ll be involved in liaising with the client to understand and receive their campaign briefs, chairing weekly client progress reviews, writing and circulating daily activity update emails, and working with the content department to establish and refine your business messaging.

As a TMP Demand Generation Executive, you’ll be ambitious and tenacious, able to motivate yourself and others, and plan and manage your own time. We will support you to obtain excellent verbal and written communication skills, ability to engage with and influence senior decision makers, and plenty of commercial acumen.
