Job description

Here at Travis Perkins we work in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with a culture that takes pride in what we do. We work as one team, achieving our goals by listening and supporting each other. Our team is brimming with some of the most creative and savvy minds in the industry, and we remain at the forefront of our markets thanks to our in-house product knowledge and brand marketing experience. We have huge ambitions and to keep achieving our goals we're on the lookout for an experienced, commercially minded and target driven Area Sales Representative who is equally passionate about our customers and the service we provide.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for the development of profitable sales from both new and existing customers within your region. You will be self driven to maximise the sales and profits from those customers, by delivering sales against target through liaison with key stakeholders. This is a great autonomous opportunity, where you will support the Regional Sales Manager by maintaining contact with National Account branches within the South West sales area.

Qualifications & Skills

• Proven ability of working within a territory/field based sales role.
• Built strong relationships with multiple customers and internal stakeholders.
• Proven experience in identifying new sale opportunities and the ability to create solutions for customers, to deliver long term profitable sales growth for both parties.
