Lead Generation Executive – Didcot or Kirkby-in-Ashfield

The Role
Reporting directly to our Key Account Director, Isla Eadle, you will take ownership of a pre-qualified database of 1,000 lapsed B2B customer accounts, representing over £1 million in pipeline potential.
This is a fully office-based outbound sales role focused on account reactivation rather than cold calling blind data.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of a portfolio of 1,000 lapsed customer accounts, executing a structured outreach programme to re-engage previous buyers.

  • Qualify customer requirements by engaging with garage owners, workshop managers and purchasing decision-makers.
  • Identify opportunities for consumable supply, tools, equipment and wider Auto4 product solutions.
  • Assess customer needs and route qualified opportunities to the appropriate Field Sales or Telesales team members.
  • Book qualified meetings, consultations and product demonstrations for the sales team where required.
  • Act as the professional first point of contact for returning customers, rebuilding relationships and understanding previous buying behaviour.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records, ensuring all communications, account updates and opportunity statuses are fully documented.
  • Support the wider sales strategy by generating a consistent pipeline of high-quality leads and appointments.
 

What We're Looking For

  • A confident and resilient individual who enjoys speaking with customers and achieving outbound activity targets.
  • Excellent communication skills with a professional and persuasive telephone manner.
  • Strong listening and questioning skills with the ability to identify commercial opportunities.
  • A proactive and organised approach to managing a large account portfolio.
  • The ability to work independently while remaining focused on team objectives and business goals.
  • Previous experience in telesales, lead generation, customer service, recruitment sourcing or a similar customer-facing role would be advantageous.
  • A positive attitude, strong work ethic and genuine desire to build a successful career in sales.
  • Ability to work full-time from either our Didcot or Kirkby-in-Ashfield office.
 

Why Join Auto4?

At Auto4, you'll join a market-leading business with more than 40 years of industry experience and a reputation for supplying premium tyre consumables, tools and garage equipment to over 2,500 customers across the UK.

This is an excellent opportunity to work closely with senior leadership, receive hands-on training and develop a long-term career within a growing and ambitious organisation.

 

What We Offer

  • Competitive basic salary with an achievable bonus structure linked directly to lead generation performance.
  • Direct training, coaching and daily support from our Key Account Director, Isla Eadle.
  • Clear career progression opportunities into Business Development, Field Sales and Account Management roles.
