Job description

Area Sales Manager | South Woodham Ferrers | Full Time – Office based | £27,000 basic + Uncapped Commission (£50,000 OTE)

Our client is an independent wholesaler of consumables and maintenance products, supplying a huge range of products ranging from electrical, plumbing, decorating, tools, sealants & adhesives, batteries, PPE & embroidered workwear. With over 30,000 stock items, if we do not have a product in stock for next-day delivery, we will use our expertise to source whatever is needed. We primarily serve the hotel industry, but also some hospitals, schools, universities, theatres, pubs and clubs.

With an annual turnover of over £2 million, their niche market is highly competitive, and their success depends on strong relationships, tenacity, and drive. This is not an easy sales job, but it's a rewarding one, and they provide the tools and training to help you succeed.

Are you the right person for the job?

They’re ideally looking for an experienced salesperson, but if you’ve never done sales before and you’ve got the right personality, attitude, and hunger, we still want to hear from you.

If you enjoy talking to people, thrive in high-energy environments, and are motivated by success and money, this could be your perfect fit. You’ll need a thick skin, a sharp tongue, and a friendly face. Think Wolf of Wall Street—without the chaos.

What will your role look like?

• You’ll be making outbound B2B sales calls, primarily over the phone
• You'll be responsible for turning leads into long-term, repeat customers
• You'll need to build rapport quickly
• You’ll defend your accounts fiercely—because someone else is always trying to win them over

What can you expect in return?

• Full sales training and continuous support
• A basic salary of £27,000
• Uncapped commission paid monthly—your earning potential is only limited by your drive
• A long-term role in a company that values staff loyalty just as much as customer retention
