The Opportunity

We are looking for confident, driven and personable Sales Representatives to join an established company that is the sole UK distributor of its product.

This is a genuine field-based sales role, where you will spend your time on the road visiting independent shops, convenience stores and local retailers, building relationships with business owners and generating sales face-to-face.

You won't be sat behind a desk making endless cold calls. You'll be out meeting customers, developing relationships and putting the product directly in front of shop owners.

This role is more immediate and transactional, as you will carry stock in your van and sell directly to shops during your visits.

Rather than simply taking an order, you will have the products available in the van for customers to purchase there and then.

You'll be responsible for:

Visiting independent shops and convenience stores

Building relationships with shop owners

Presenting and selling products face-to-face

Carrying stock in your van

Selling products directly from the vehicle

Identifying what each customer is likely to need

Maximising each customer visit

Taking payment/orders in line with company procedures

Managing stock levels within your vehicle

Developing your own customer base

Increasing repeat business and sales

Working towards sales targets

This position would suit someone who enjoys fast-paced, face-to-face sales and likes the idea of being responsible for both the customer relationship and the stock they are selling.

We're looking for people who are:

Confident and comfortable speaking to business owners

Naturally personable and good at building relationships

Commercially minded and motivated by sales

Comfortable working independently

Organised and able to manage their own diary/route

Resilient and able to deal with rejection

Target-driven without being overly pushy

Presentable and professional

Energetic and willing to be out on the road every day

Able to identify sales opportunities and convert them

Full of personality and confidence when dealing with customers

Essential Requirement
