Field Sales Consultant

Here at Brakes, we have ambitious growth plans and are launching a brand new offering called 'Your Way' within our Independent Sales business. As a Your Way Field Sales Consultant you'll be responsible for winning and maximising business in your very own dedicated neighbourhood of just one square mile.

This is a bespoke opportunity, that no other business is currently offering! So, if you want to be part of something new and exciting, and you love being out on the field, whilst having the opportunity to grow in your career, what are you waiting for?

So, what will you be doing?

• Research your target audience and opportunities in your neighbourhood.
• Build and leverage strong customer relationships with your local neighbourhood and community through constant selling, face-to-face meetings and understanding the customer needs.
• Onboard new customers effectively & successfully whilst ensuring close working relationships with existing accounts and track activity using Salesforce.
• Work closely with your distribution partner/driver for your neighbourhood to create a strong team for the community.
• Deliver profitable volume growth and hit targets.
• Monitor competitor and Independent market activity around your neighbourhood and propositions to ensure you are offering our customers the best solutions and insight from the biggest Foodservice provider in the world.

We are looking for someone who has the ability to not only win new business but also maximise sales through our existing customers. Ideally you'll come from a Field Sales/Account Management background and be commercially astute, technically proficient in Excel and building and maintaining relationships. Not to mention, you must have a passion for sales! It would also be great if you had a food background, but this is not essential.

In return we offer a competitive base salary along with fantastic bonus potential, a home/field-based contract, company car, additional holiday purchase options to top up your annual leave and award-winning products at virtually cost price. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to further enhance your skills through our industry-leading Learning & Development programmes and with a Salesforce of over 500 people, progress into a vast range of commercial roles to really develop your career.
