This is a fantastic opportunity for a high-performing B2B sales professional who wants to take the next step into leadership — starting with hands-on sales and evolving into building and leading an internal sales team.
The Role
This is a pivotal position where you’ll be instrumental in developing a sales function from the ground up. You’ll begin by managing and growing existing customer accounts, reactivating dormant clients, and driving new business — before stepping into team leadership, with full autonomy to shape the team, tools, and culture. You’ll be working directly with the senior leadership team and have a real voice in strategic decisions.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Phase 1 - Build & Sell: Reignite relationships with lapsed customers and grow existing accounts; Handle inbound and outbound B2B sales — calls, emails, quoting, and follow-ups; Help shape sales processes, targets, and CRM usage; Create scripts and set the framework for future sales hires.
- Phase 2 - Lead & Grow: Recruit, train, and manage a small internal sales team; Lead daily performance meetings and track KPIs; Support product launches, promotions, and pricing initiatives; Drive team results in line with monthly targets and business goals.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven B2B sales background (ideally in distribution, construction supply or similar)
- Experience managing customer accounts and converting quotes
- Commercially focused — you understand margins, not just volume
- Tech-savvy with CRMs, quoting systems, and Excel
- A proactive self-starter with natural leadership skills
Success Will Be Measured By
- Monthly GP performance (individual and team)
- Reactivated and retained accounts
- Increased average order value
- Team growth and contribution to business profitability
What’s On Offer
- £45,000-£50,000 base salary
- High commission opportunities with significant earning potential
- The chance to build your own team and shape a high-performing sales department
- Close collaboration with senior decision-makers in a supportive environment
- Long-term career progression into a senior commercial leadership role
