Unit 10 Eanam Wharf, Business Development Centre, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB1 5BL
Sales pay in Lancashire tracks the North West market, with bases set to draw candidates from Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Lancaster, and the Fylde Coast. Typical figures see SDR and internal sales roles at £22,000 to £28,000 with OTE lifting to £30,000 to £40,000. Account managers and business development managers often sit between £30,000 and £45,000 with OTE stepping into the £50,000 to £70,000 range. Sales managers can reach £40,000 to £60,000, and head of sales roles can start near £60,000 and move higher where the brief calls for sector depth. Temp agencies quote hourly pay for telesales or sales support from about £12 to £18 depending on product complexity, with overtime premiums in peak periods. Recruitment fees for permanent placements are commonly 15 percent to 25 percent of base, with executive search for senior appointments priced on staged retainers. Agency costs for contract work cover pay rates, holiday accrual, and statutory on costs, which your recruiter will set out clearly before you hire staff.
Most employers look for strong pipeline habits, CRM fluency, and credible questioning. Sector badges help, such as MEDDICC familiarity for complex deals, or product training where regulated goods are sold. For leadership hires, many recruiters seek evidence of hire and ramp plans, clear territory design, and a clean record on forecast accuracy. Candidates who register with an agency can expect coaching on proposals, objection handling, and local buyer cycles, plus guidance on pay structure and realistic OTE.
Travel matters across the county, with commuter links on the M6, M61, and M65 shaping territory plans. Roles tied to Preston Docklands, Whitehills Business Park near Blackpool, Samlesbury, Warton, Chorley, and Burnley need car drivers more often than city centre posts. Recruiters map patch coverage across Lancashire and into Greater Manchester and Merseyside, so businesses near county borders often request candidates who know both sides of the route and can manage time on the A59 and A6.
Sales recruitment agencies in Lancashire place staff into engineering and manufacturing, aerospace supply chains, chemicals and materials, food and drink, healthcare products, education services, and growing e commerce and SaaS firms. Employment firms with executive search arms support senior hires for capital equipment and advanced manufacturing, while staffing agencies handle seasonal sales support for tourism and leisure along the coast. Local employers often ask for candidates who can switch between consultative meetings on site and inside sales activity in Preston or Blackburn offices.
The labour market is tight for new business hunters with complex deal cycles, and retention hinges on clear territory, fair lead flow, and stable pay plans. Businesses sometimes face long notice periods for account managers with protected books, so recruitment consultants advise overlapping handovers and offering structured onboarding. For volume telesales or appointment setting, the job market moves quickly, which rewards fast interviews and simple offers. Jobseekers value transparent pay bands, sensible KPIs, and coaching that leads to progression.
Most SDR and sales support roles welcome strong communicators from retail or hospitality who can show resilience and clean data habits in CRM. Business development roles tend to ask for two years sector exposure and comfort with proposals and tender steps. Career paths run from SDR to account executive, to senior AE or key account manager, then into sales manager and head of sales. Contract work helps candidates build product knowledge fast, and permanent moves follow once performance is proven.
Recruiters across Lancashire supply temporary, permanent, and contract work to match seasonal swings and project launches. Temp agencies can stand up inside sales teams for campaigns, then scale down once the pipeline peak passes. Permanent recruiters help businesses find employees who can own a patch and build lifetime value. Executive search partners handle confidential moves where the brief calls for discretion.
Candidates want clarity on salaries, pay rates, and OTE, and local employers expect clean fee proposals in advance. Strong offers set base, commission rate, thresholds, and clawback rules in plain English. Recruitment fees should itemise any rebate period, plus service scope such as advertising, shortlisting, first round screening, and right to work checks. Businesses in Lancashire benefit from agencies that give market comparisons, so offers land well without inflating agency costs.
Preston and South Ribble attract account managers for industrial parks and logistics corridors. Blackburn and Darwen see steady hiring in wholesale and engineering sales. Burnley and Pendle firms recruit for components and textiles, with regular needs for export knowledge. Lancaster and Morecambe lean toward education, health suppliers, and professional services. Blackpool and the Fylde Coast bring seasonal peaks, with jobseekers finding short term sales support and events work that can turn permanent with strong results.
Do sales recruitment agencies in Lancashire cover both office and field roles?
Yes, most handle inside sales, hybrid posts, and territory roles that require travel.
Can agencies help with CRM skills before interview?
Many offer prep on Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar, plus pipeline housekeeping tips.
How fast can a temp start for a phone based campaign?
With documents ready, a start in 24 to 72 hours is common during peak activity.
Can I register with an agency if I am new to sales?
Yes, jobseekers with the right attitude and basic IT skills can register with an agency and pick up entry level roles.
Do local employers use executive search for senior posts?
Yes, director and head of sales briefs are often run as retained search to protect confidentiality.
Local employers can brief recruitment agencies with a short overview of product, buyer type, territory, and pay plan, then agree interview steps and a target start date. Candidates can register with an agency, update a concise CV with clear numbers, and be ready to talk through pipeline wins. Whether you want to hire staff or you are looking for your next move, sales recruitment agencies in Lancashire and their recruitment consultants can guide you through each step so the process stays quick, fair, and focused.
