What will you do?

No day is the same. In this role, you will combine commercial insight, customer contact, and relationship management.

Follow up on warm leads: A large part of your work involves following up on warm leads. Think of requests via our website, existing customers, marketing campaigns, and internal referrals. You are not busy with cold acquisition all day. Instead, you get in touch with organizations that already have an interest in our services and guide them to the best fitting solution.
Advise clients: You will have daily contact with clients via phone, Microsoft Teams, and email. By asking the right questions, you gain insight into their challenges and advise on suitable solutions from our portfolio.
Build relationships: You will build sustainable relationships with clients and colleagues. Success is achieved through collaboration, trust, and continuous client contact.
Recognize and seize opportunities: You will analyze client inquiries, discover commercial opportunities, and translate these into concrete solutions that add value to the client's organization.
Manage sales processes: You will accurately process commercial activities in our systems and ensure that quotes, follow-ups, and client information are always up-to-date.

Requirements

Commercial experience: Experience in a commercial back-office function, sales role, or client-facing environment.
Results-oriented: You enjoy working with goals and KPIs and gain energy from achieving results.
Curious and eager to learn: You enjoy acquiring new knowledge and continuously developing yourself.
Good organizational skills: You easily switch between different tasks, maintain an overview, and work accurately.
Energetic and proactive: You take initiative, see opportunities, and do not wait.
Strong communication skills: You can listen well, ask the right questions, and explain complex topics understandably to clients.
Resilient: You are not discouraged by setbacks and remain focused on achieving results.
Languages: Fluent in Dutch and English, both spoken and written.

What We Offer

Professional sales environment: You will join an ambitious Benelux sales team where collaboration, knowledge sharing, and customer focus are central.
Modern sales and AI tools: We believe that sales professionals succeed through a combination of talent, coaching, and the right tools. Therefore, we actively invest in modern CRM solutions, Microsoft Copilot, and AI-supported tools that help you work smarter, gain faster insights into customer needs, and free up more time for valuable client conversations. Our goal is simple: to give you the means to be successful.
Personal development: You will receive extensive training and guidance so that you can get to know our services, clients, and commercial approach well.
Opportunities to grow: Within DNV, there are various opportunities to develop yourself further. Some colleagues build a successful career within Inside Sales, while others progress to roles such as Sales Executive, Account Manager, or other commercial positions. We do not believe in a standard career path but in development that aligns with your talents and ambitions.
