About The Job

Do you enjoy the challenge of selling to business customers? Do you want to try out a job in account management in a fun, modern environment based in a brand-new office in Lenton, Nottingham. Do you want to spend your days helping our trade partners grow their sales by managing their product range and giving great advice? If the answer is yes, and you have completed higher education, then this could be the job for you!

In This Role You Will Be

• Calling independent retail outlets (such as toy stores, hobby stores & book stores) every week to ensure that they have the right range in stock
• Advising them on what products they need to order to suit their business needs so that they can maximise all sales opportunities
• Developing a relationship of trust with your customers
• Performing stock checks and ensuring they reorder stock that has been sold
• Informing them of new product ranges and identifying opportunities to close sales
• Looking for more ways to grow the number of customers committed to our stockist programme, and ensuring a long-term beneficial trading relationship.

We know that getting every customer’s full attention every time you call them, not to mention making sure they do a regular stock check, can be hard.

• Ability to build strong relationships with business partners and colleagues
• Excellent customer service and time management
• Ability to multi-task and high organisational skills
• Ability to influence existing clients and grow sales
