As an Inside Sales Development Representative for Perk Events, you will be the dedicated growth engine for our events and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions) proposition, but entirely within our existing client base. Rather than chasing new logos, your mission is to deepen relationships, uncover untapped event potential, and convert existing Perk accounts into active, repeat-event buyers. This is an ideal role for someone who understands the events landscape, knows how to ask the right questions, and thrives on building trusted-advisor relationships with procurement, EA, HR, and executive stakeholders within companies we already work with. Key Responsibilities: Account Development & Opportunity Identification Conduct structured discovery conversations with existing Perk account contacts to uncover current events spend, upcoming programmes and unmet needs.

Build and maintain an opportunity pipeline sourced entirely from existing Perk accounts, tracked in CRM (Salesforce) with accurate forecasting and data hygiene. Proactively identify seasonal triggers (team off-sites, sales kick-offs, client entertainment, awards, product launches) and engage accounts ahead of planning cycles.

Act as the bridge between existing commercial account relationships and the events/MICE proposition, working closely with Account Managers to ensure joined-up client engagement.
