About Tootle Works

Tootle Works is a Kent-based digital marketing agency helping small businesses grow through SEO, website support, social media, paid ads, and practical marketing strategy.

We work with ambitious businesses that want honest advice, clear marketing support, and measurable growth. As we continue to expand, we are looking to collaborate with a Self-Employed Business Development Consultant who can help us build new relationships and create sales opportunities.

The Opportunity

This is a flexible, self-employed opportunity for someone who enjoys speaking to business owners, building relationships, and opening doors.

You will support Tootle Works by identifying suitable prospects, creating new conversations, introducing potential clients, and helping us grow our pipeline for SEO and digital marketing services.

This is not an employed position. You will operate as an independent consultant, managing your own time, working methods, and approach to generating opportunities.

What You’ll Be Helping With

You may support Tootle Works by:

• Identifying potential business clients who may benefit from marketing, SEO, website, or digital support
• Building relationships with local businesses, decision-makers, and professional contacts
• Creating introductions and new business opportunities
• Booking discovery calls or meetings with suitable prospects
• Supporting follow-up activity where appropriate
• Keeping a simple record of opportunities, conversations, and progress
• Representing Tootle Works professionally and positively in the market

You will have flexibility over how you deliver these outcomes, provided all activity is professional, lawful, and aligned with our brand values.

Who This Could Suit

This opportunity could suit someone with experience in:

• Business development
• B2B sales
• Lead generation
• Networking
• Partnership building
• Local business engagement
• Marketing, SEO, websites, or digital services

You may already be self-employed, working as a freelance sales consultant, running your own consultancy, or looking to add another service partner to your portfolio.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Confident speaking with business owners and decision-makers
• Professional, personable, and trustworthy
• Self-motivated and commercially minded
• Comfortable creating their own opportunities
• Able to communicate clearly and follow up consistently
• Interested in marketing, SEO, and helping small businesses grow
• Honest, reliable, and relationship-focused

You do not need to be a technical SEO expert, but an understanding of marketing, websites, or digital services would be helpful.

Self-Employed Basis

This is a self-employed contractor opportunity.

The successful consultant will:

• Be responsible for their own tax, National Insurance, insurance, and business expenses
• Invoice Tootle Works in line with agreed payment terms
• Decide how, when, and where they carry out their activity
• Be free to work with other clients, provided there is no conflict of interest
• Not be entitled to employee benefits such as holiday pay, sick pay, pension contributions, or statutory employment benefits
• Not be guaranteed ongoing work
• Be engaged under agreed commercial terms

Commercial targets, brand expectations, and desired outcomes may be agreed, but the consultant will remain responsible for managing their own approach.

Payment

This opportunity is expected to be commission-based, with terms agreed in advance.

Depending on experience and the arrangement agreed, this may include:

• Commission on successful introductions
• Commission on converted clients
• Project or campaign-based fees
• Performance-based incentives

Full details will be discussed with suitable applicants.
