Business Development Executive

Role Overview

Nawa Marketing, a commercial growth consultancy based in the UAE, is recruiting a Business Development Executive for full-time onsite work in Abu Dhabi. This role is focused on actively generating and developing business opportunities for Nawa and its clients across the UAE, Oman, and KSA through consistent outreach, meetings, networking, and structured sales activities rather than traditional cold calling or passive wait for leads.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and research potential new business avenues.
• Create targeted lists of prospects.
• Conduct outbound communication via calls and channels such as email, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp.
• Participate in meetings, events, and networking opportunities to build relationships.
• Secure qualified meetings and support sales campaigns for both Nawa and its clients.
• Perform diligent and professional follow-ups.
• Maintain and update CRM records and track sales activities.
• Report regularly on interactions, opportunities, and objections.
• Develop and manage a structured sales pipeline and contribute to commercial growth strategies across various industries.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is professional, confident, well-organized, resilient, and eager to learn. Prior cold calling experience is advantageous, but more critical is comfort with conversing with new people and building long-term relationships. A strong work ethic, motivation by targets and commissions, coachability, ownership mentality, and the ability to handle rejection positively are essential qualities.

Mindset and Attributes

This role demands genuine resilience and persistence, with the ability to handle numerous rejections without losing enthusiasm and continue to pursue leads proactively. Success depends on creating meaningful opportunities through diverse sales channels, consistent follow-up, and structured activity rather than random attempts.

Learning Opportunities

The position offers hands-on experience in business development, lead generation, cold calling, meeting booking, relationship nurturing, event follow-up, CRM usage, sales pipeline management, client communication, commercial strategy, and revenue system design. It is an excellent platform for rapid growth toward sales, consultancy, or commercial leadership roles.

Additional Information

Compensation includes a base salary plus a commission plan. Degrees are not a requirement; the emphasis is on attitude and willingness to learn. Applicants must submit a short response outlining how they would generate 100 leads in one month for a client starting from zero, describing strategies across prospecting, outreach, activity levels, follow-ups, and success measurement.
