Ventro is the UK’s leading fire safety company, and we’re expanding rapidly. As a result, we’re looking for an experienced Sales Consultant to join our Plymouth team and take ownership of building new client relationships while growing our market presence in fire protection, sprinkler systems, fire alarms and passive fire protection.
If you’re looking to build a rewarding sales career in an essential industry while working on projects that genuinely save lives, this could be the career move you’ve been waiting for.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS:

• Proven track record in B2B sales with demonstrable results
• Excellent communication and presentation skills for client-facing situations
• Strong problem-solving abilities to identify client needs and propose solutions
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications and CRM systems
• Full UK driving licence with willingness to travel regularly to client sites

HELPFUL EXPERIENCE:

• Previous sales experience in construction, M&E, or building services sectors
• Understanding of public sector procurement processes
• Knowledge of building regulations or compliance requirements
• Experience with long sales cycles and relationship-based selling
  We’re more interested in your sales track record and client relationship skills than ticking every technical box perfectly. We’re also open to considering less experienced candidates who demonstrate strong potential and enthusiasm for building a sales career.

DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES

You’ll be developing new business opportunities through proactive telephone prospecting and building a strong pipeline of qualified prospects. This involves researching potential clients, understanding their fire safety needs, and positioning Ventro’s comprehensive solutions effectively.
Working from our Plymouth office, you’ll be conducting client meetings, both face-to-face and via video conferencing. You’ll need to quickly identify client pain points, assess their current fire safety provisions, and present tailored solutions that meet their compliance requirements and budget constraints.
Relationship building is crucial. You’ll be nurturing long-term partnerships with facilities managers, property developers, and public sector decision-makers, ensuring repeat business and referral opportunities that drive sustained commission earnings.
You’ll also be maintaining accurate records in our CRM system, tracking opportunities through the sales cycle, and providing regular performance updates to your line manager while working towards individual and team targets.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This isn’t just another sales job. Fire safety is experiencing unprecedented growth driven by new building regulations, increased compliance requirements and heightened awareness following recent incidents. You’ll be joining at an exciting time with genuine opportunities to progress in a market-leading company.
The work is challenging but highly rewarding. When you win a contract for a school fire protection system or care home sprinkler upgrade, you know your sales expertise is directly contributing to projects that save lives and protect the most vulnerable in our communities.
