We are looking for an experienced and commercially driven Area Sales Manager to join our team, taking responsibility for an established sales territory across Yorkshire and surrounding areas!

This is a field-based role suited to someone who enjoys being in front of customers, building strong relationships and, importantly, creating new business opportunities in and around theSouth East.

Frontline Bathrooms, part of the Huws Gray Group, is an established bathroom distributor supplying independent bathroom showrooms, merchants and trade customers across the UK. With a broad product portfolio, continued development of our Aqua own-brand proposition and significant investment in new products, this is an exciting opportunity to join the business and take ownership of an important sales territory.

What we are looking for?

As Area Sales Manager, you will be responsible for developing sales and profitability across your territory through a combination of managing existing customers, growing underperforming accounts and identifying and winning new business. You will be expected to manage your area as your own business, developing strong relationships with customers and identifying opportunities to increase our share of their bathroom business.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing an established portfolio of customers across the London territory.
• Identifying, targeting and opening new accounts.
• Growing sales within existing customers through regular, effective account management.
• Building strong relationships with independent bathroom showrooms, merchants and trade customers.
• Securing new product displays and increasing the presence of Frontline and Aqua products within customer showrooms.
• Presenting and launching new products, ranges and promotional activity to customers.
• Identifying opportunities within individual accounts and developing clear plans to convert those opportunities into sales.
• Reactivating dormant and lapsed customers.
• Negotiating commercially and working within agreed pricing and margin parameters.
• Maintaining an effective call plan and ensuring appropriate coverage of the territory.
