Business Development Executive

Commission-Based with a Path to Basic Salary About Micro2 Micro2 is a full-service marketing and creative agency supporting businesses across the UAE, KSA, the UK and international markets. We provide strategic, creative and performance-driven marketing solutions designed to help businesses generate stronger visibility, enquiries and sustainable growth. We are currently looking for a highly driven, well-connected and confident Business Development Executive who can actively introduce Micro2 to new businesses, generate qualified opportunities and convert those opportunities into long-term clients. This is not a desk-based sales position focused only on responding to incoming leads. We are looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership of the complete business development process, from identifying and approaching potential clients to arranging meetings, presenting our services, following up and closing deals. The Opportunity This role will initially operate on a high, uncapped commission structure. Once the successful candidate achieves the agreed sales target, they will become eligible to transition into a basic salary plus commission structure. Further salary growth and additional incentives will be linked to sustained performance, retained client revenue and the continued achievement of sales targets. The more value and revenue you bring to Micro2, the greater your earning and career-growth potential will be. Key Responsibilities • Identify and approach potential clients that would benefit from Micro2’s marketing, creative and digital services. • Use existing professional connections and actively build new relationships with business owners, founders, marketing managers and senior decision-makers. • Generate new business through cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, email prospecting, networking events, referrals and face-to-face meetings. • Attend relevant business events, exhibitions, conferences and networking opportunities to represent Micro2 and build new relationships. • Introduce and confidently explain Micro2’s services, capabilities, experience and value proposition. • Understand each prospect’s business challenges, marketing objectives, budget and decision-making process. • Qualify opportunities before handing them over for proposal development or internal strategic support. • Arrange and lead introductory meetings, presentations and sales discussions with prospective clients. • Work closely with Micro2’s strategy, marketing and management teams to develop suitable solutions and proposals. • Follow up consistently with prospects and manage the sales process from initial contact through negotiation and closing. • Maintain an organised and updated pipeline of leads, meetings, proposals, expected revenue and follow-up actions. • Meet agreed monthly and quarterly targets for qualified meetings, proposals, signed clients and collected revenue. • Support client onboarding and ensure a smooth transition from the sales stage to the account management and delivery teams. • Develop referral partnerships and other business relationships that can generate recurring opportunities for Micro2. • Monitor market activity and identify sectors, businesses and emerging opportunities that Micro2 should target. The Ideal Candidate • Has an established professional network in the UAE and direct access to business owners, senior managers or marketing decision-makers. • Has proven experience in business development, sales, client acquisition or account growth. • Has experience selling marketing, advertising, digital, technology, consultancy or other professional services. • Is confident making cold calls, approaching new businesses and starting conversations with senior decision-makers. • Is comfortable attending meetings and networking events independently. • Can communicate value clearly and sell solutions rather than simply discussing prices. • Has strong presentation, negotiation, relationship-building and closing skills. • Is highly proactive, commercially minded and motivated by performance-based earnings. • Can work independently, manage a pipeline and follow up consistently without requiring constant supervision. • Understands that success in this role will be measured by signed clients and collected revenue, not only by calls or meetings. • Has excellent spoken and written English. Arabic would be a strong advantage. • Has knowledge of the UAE business and marketing landscape. • Has access to reliable transportation and is able to attend meetings across the UAE when required. Compensation and Career Progression • High commission on every successfully signed and paid client. • Uncapped earning potential. • Commission calculated according to the value and type of contract secured. • Eligibility for a basic salary after achieving the agreed revenue or client-acquisition target. • Continued high commission after transitioning to the basic salary structure. • Opportunities for salary increases and additional incentives based on sustained revenue generation, client retention and target achievement. • Potential progression into a senior business development or sales leadership position as the department grows. Commission is payable once the client’s agreed payment has been received by Micro2. Full commission percentages, qualification requirements, targets and payment timelines will be clearly outlined before the successful candidate begins. Performance Indicators Performance will be evaluated based on: • Qualified sales opportunities generated. • Meetings secured with relevant decision-makers. • Proposals issued. • New clients successfully signed. • Revenue collected from secured accounts. • Quality and retention of the clients introduced. • Consistency and accuracy of pipeline management. • Achievement of monthly and quarterly targets. Who This Role Is Not For This position may not be suitable for someone looking for a guaranteed basic salary from the first month, someone who relies entirely on incoming leads, or someone who is uncomfortable with cold outreach, networking and direct selling. It is designed for an experienced, highly confident business developer who believes in their network, sales ability and capacity to generate measurable business. How to Apply Please apply with your CV and a short introduction covering: • Your previous business development or sales experience. • The industries and types of decision-makers within your current network. • Examples of clients, contracts or revenue you have previously secured. • Your preferred methods for generating new business. • Why you believe you would be successful in a commission-led position.
