Territory Sales Consultant - Leeds

Description

The role of a Territory Sales Representative (known internally as a TSC - Territory Sales Consultant) is an excellent opportunity to actively drive sales growth, create demand and expand product awareness across assigned B&Q stores.

As a TSC at Sherwin-Williams, you will be expected to create demand where none exists, open conversations that others avoid, and take full ownership of growing your territory - even when conditions are uncertain.

This is a field-based, commercially focused role covering B&Q stores (Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Keighley and Thornbury areas of Yorkshire.).

Candidates must live within the territory.

This position is ideal for a sales professional with retail sales or service experience who is energized by creating opportunities, influencing others, and building momentum in dynamic environments.

In return, we offer an exciting career with ongoing support and development, attractive salary, uncapped sales bonus, car, lunch allowance and a company pension.

Responsibilities

The Role – What You Will Do

As a Territory Sales Consultant, you will go beyond maintaining stores - you will create opportunity, drive demand and build long-term value:

• Proactively create sales opportunities within each store by identifying gaps, underperformance and untapped potential - without waiting for direction
• Build and nurture strong relationships with store associates, store management and key stakeholders to influence behaviour and drive product advocacy
• Deliver engaging product and sales training sessions that equip store teams to sell more confidently and effectively
• Continuously promote and represent the brand to both store teams and consumers, positioning value rather than just products
• Identify and act on opportunities for upselling, cross-selling and space optimisation, turning insight into action
• Take ownership of in-store performance by ensuring merchandising, displays, signage and stock presence maximise sales impact
• Plan and execute in-store events and activations that generate demand and increase conversion
• Use CRM tools to track activity, build pipeline visibility and identify growth opportunities
• Ensure in-store activity is executed with pace, discipline and consistency across your territory
• Proactively identify and engage pro-consumer customers within store, initiating meaningful conversations to assess trade potential and future value.
• Secure consent to maintain ongoing contact and build a pipeline of emerging trade accounts.
