Learn real B2B sales. Work alongside a senior operator. Build a career in one of the fastest-evolving tech-enabled industries.
Mentored by a Senior BDM with 17 years’ experience — learn how deals are actually won
Sell modern security solutions — including AI-enabled CCTV monitoring and alarm monitoring services
Clear 4–5 year path to becoming a top salesperson with strong commission + company car
Why this role exists
This role exists to support Code 9’s sales growth — following up leads, onboarding customers, and helping convert opportunities into long-term clients.
But the bigger picture is this:
The security industry is changing fast.
Traditional alarm monitoring is evolving into intelligent, tech-enabled monitoring — combining CCTV, remote monitoring, and AI-driven detection to deliver smarter, more proactive protection.
You’ll be learning how to sell modern security solutions that businesses are actively shifting towards.
What makes this different
This isn’t a sink-or-swim sales job.
You’ll work directly alongside a highly experienced Senior BDM, learning:
how to prospect properly (not just cold call blindly)
how to run meetings and uncover real client needs
how to structure deals and close cleanly
how to onboard and grow accounts long-term
Over time, you’ll move from supporting → contributing → owning:
Year 1–2: Learn, support, build capability
Year 2–3: Take ownership of smaller accounts
Year 3–5: Manage larger, more complex clients
If you’re good, your earnings should reflect it — with commission designed so you benefit directly from the growth you create.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be involved across the full sales cycle:
Prospecting & market research — identifying target industries and opportunities
Inbound lead response — fast follow-up, setting meetings, early engagement
Customer onboarding — site visits, understanding needs, helping build quotes and contracts
Account support — staying close to customers and stakeholders
Internal coordination — working with ops, tech, and support teams to deliver what’s sold
This is how you actually learn sales — by being in it.
Who this is perfect for
This role is perfect for someone who:
Has strong ambition and has genuinely been thinking about a career in sales
Doesn’t yet have the perfect pathway — but wants to build one properly
Is a go-getter: follows through, takes ownership, doesn’t wait to be told
Is comfortable with technology (you’ll be working with systems, proposals, and modern security solutions)
Wants to work in a team that is growing and pushing forward
You could be:
Early in your career
Coming from retail, hospitality, or another people-facing role
In an entry-level sales role but lacking proper development
Or sitting in a role thinking “I could be doing more”
What you’ll get
Hands-on development from a senior operator
Exposure to real B2B sales, not watered-down tasks
Strong commission structure (~20% of base for solid performance)
Company car
A role where, if you perform, your earnings can realistically double over ~4 years
