Field Sales Representative - Bathroom Manufacturer

Break into the exclusive trade bathroom sector Join a company where career development is built into the process Have the freedom to run your sales territory as you see fit THE CLIENT A business that helps independent bathroom showrooms and specialist trade suppliers sell more to their own customers, with a range of bathroom furniture and showering that is refreshed with new designs every season. Its customers are owner-run businesses, and it grows when they grow, so the whole commercial relationship is built around helping them sell more. That makes it a very different conversation from most sales roles. New products, finishes and designs arrive every season, so there is always something fresh to put in front of a customer, and you are never repeating last month's visit. Showroom owners and trade suppliers want to see you, because you arrive with ideas that help them sell more product to their own customers. It is a national business with tens of millions in sales, backed by a wider group, run with a small national sales team in which every territory is visible and valued. Career development is built into how it works, with a genuine route up for people who deliver. This is also a sector that usually recruits from within, so a way in from outside is rare. THE ROLE Around 100 accounts are already trading in this territory, and you decide how to grow every one of them. They are independent showroom owners and specialist trade suppliers, including plumbing and heating merchants, and you work with them as a trusted partner: what is selling, what is new this season, and where they could be doing more with you. About 80% of your time goes on growing the accounts you already have, with the other 20% spent opening new doors. The patch runs from Bristol up through Gloucestershire and Herefordshire into Shropshire and East Wales, and you run it like your own business. Your diary, your route and your approach to each customer are down to you, with the freedom to manage the customer base as you see fit. You use the data and the CRM to see where the growth is, then go and get it. You are dealing with business owners, face to face, who want the relationship to work. Over time you build the kind of meaningful, long-term partnerships where customers pick up the phone to you first, and you are rewarded for the growth you create. For anyone outside the bathroom trade, this is a rare way into the industry. ABOUT YOU You are bright, bubbly and enthusiastic, with the rapport that makes business owners glad to see you walk in. You have real territory experience behind you, running a patch of accounts and growing them without anyone watching over your shoulder. Your background can be in any sector, and you do not need bathroom knowledge: what matters is your drive and your honesty. You like numbers as much as people. You use data and a CRM as tools to decide where your time earns the most, and you want to be judged on the growth in your accounts. You are self-motivated and organised, you live within reach of the Bristol, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire and East Wales corridor, and you want a role where your own ideas shape how the territory is run. THE REWARDS £45,000-£50,000 basic salary, with a £10,000 annual bonus on top, taking your earnings to £55,000-£60,000. A company car to cover the territory. A clear route into management, with career development built into the business. Full autonomy over a territory of around 100 accounts that are already trading.
