Business Development Executive (Franchise & Sales Growth)

About Pokidol
Pokidol is an early-stage, fast-growing UK-based brand specialising in personalised full-colour 3D figurine solutions. We provide high-quality, customised 3D portrait products for both individual consumers and commercial partners.
We are currently at a critical phase of national expansion, focused on building and scaling our franchise network across the UK.
This is a pivotal moment for Pokidol. We are assembling our core commercial team and plan to recruit multiple business-focused roles to support equipment sales and franchise partner development, with direct responsibility for driving revenue growth.
If you are results-driven, comfortable taking ownership, and motivated by visible, real-world impact and progression, this role may be an excellent fit for you.
Role Overview
We are seeking a results-oriented Business Development Executive to support Pokidol’s continued growth in the UK market.
This is a highly execution-focused, deal-driven role.
You will be responsible for sourcing, qualifying and progressing sales and franchise opportunities, working closely with the internal team to close key commercial deals.
This is not a traditional “corporate sales” position. It is a hands-on, fast-paced role within a start-up environment, where initiative, follow-through and outcomes matter.
Key Responsibilities
- Proactively identify and contact potential franchise partners and B2B clients
- Follow up on inbound enquiries and conduct outbound business development where required
- Qualify prospective partners and clients, assessing commercial fit and genuine intent
- Present Pokidol’s products, solutions and franchise model clearly and professionally (online and offline)
- Actively manage opportunities through to contract signing
- Maintain accurate and well-organised sales records using a CRM or internal tracking tools
- Manage multiple opportunities simultaneously while maintaining momentum across the sales pipeline
What We Are Looking For
- Experience in B2B sales, business development or a related commercial role
- Confidence in communicating with business owners, managers and decision-makers
- Strong communication skills and sound commercial judgement
- Well-organised, persistent, and comfortable with follow-ups and rejection
- Strong results orientation with a genuine interest in closing deals and driving revenue
- Ability to independently manage your own sales pipeline and work priorities
Desirable (but not essential):
- Experience in franchising, channel partnerships or equipment sales
- Experience using CRM systems
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary (£28k–£35k, dependent on experience)
- Commission and performance-based bonuses directly linked to results
- Direct collaboration with the founder and exposure to meaningful commercial decision-making
- Clear progression opportunities as the company grows
- Potential to develop into a senior commercial or management role
Why This Role Is Different
- You will be a key early team member, not just part of a system
- Your work will have a direct and measurable impact on company revenue and expansion
- You will be involved in the full deal lifecycle, from first contact to signed agreement
- You will help shape Pokidol’s sales and franchise model, rather than simply following a script

We look forward to working with you to drive the next stage of Pokidol’s growth.
