Live Expo is looking for a driven salesperson who wants to fill their exhibition floor with exhibitors, sponsors, and partners. Here you will have the chance to combine your passion for business with the opportunity to build long-term relationships and contribute to entirely new exhibition concepts that engage, inspire, and drive development.

About the position

This position is a direct recruitment, which means that the recruitment process is handled by Bravura and you will be employed directly by Live Expo.

About the company

Live Expo is a fast-growing growth company that is growing by 20% per year. With a turnover of 63 million, a strong profit margin of 16%, and completely debt-free, the company is on a solid foundation for continued expansion. Live Expo is currently Sweden's largest organizer that does not own its own venue and is partially owned by Easyfairs – the world's tenth largest trade fair organizer.

The company organizes innovative trade shows, meetings, conferences, events, and festivals where people and companies meet to do business, network, and be inspired. Dynamic meeting places are created here where news and innovations are presented for the first time – both from established companies and from exciting startups.

Live Expo was founded by some of Sweden's most experienced entrepreneurs in trade shows and events, who have launched over a hundred new trade shows – many of which are now leaders in their industries. With a packed content schedule, they take the trade fair medium to a whole new level by inspiring, developing, and updating their visitors.

Job responsibilities

As a salesperson at Live Expo, you play a central role in filling the exhibition floor with exhibitors, sponsors, and partners. Your mission is to sell booth spaces and ancillary services to companies that want to be visible at Live Expo's trade shows and events – thereby contributing to creating meeting places that inspire, engage, and drive business.

In this role, your work will be directly visible on the exhibition floor, and you will be involved in executing the trade show together with your clients. You own the entire sales cycle, from prospecting and initial contact to negotiation, contracts, and follow-up. By building long-term relationships, both via phone and in personal meetings, you will become a key player in the development of entirely new exhibition concepts. Your main responsibilities include:

• Prospecting and processing new and existing customers in Sweden

• Selling booth spaces, sponsorships, and ancillary services to exhibitors

• Building and developing long-term customer relationships

• Conducting meetings, presentations, and follow-ups

• Working towards set sales targets for new exhibition concepts

Education, experience, and personal qualities

• At least three years of experience in B2B sales

• Experience working both over the phone and in face-to-face meetings

• Experience in media, sponsorship, events, or similar is an advantage

You want to make an impact! The key to your success is your drive to give your all and never give up. The step from thought to action is short, and you happily spread your positive energy like confetti. You believe that a team is stronger together. You are business-driven, competitive, and fearless, and with outgoing, attentive, and unpretentious qualities, you have an impressive ability to build relationships.
