• Maximise marketing spend within your or territory by continuously sourcing new and lapsed business opportunities.
• Maintain a high standard of account management, ensuring strong customer relationships and excellent service at every stage.
• Grow your unique customer base through strategic territory planning and proactive competitor awareness.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities from a variety of sources, including inbound leads, referrals, and self-sourced prospects.
• Consistently meet and exceed key performance indicators (KPIs), including call volumes, meaningful conversations, booked meetings, and timely follow-ups.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Proven experience in business-to-business (B2B) sales, ideally within a consultative or solution-based environment.
• Solid understanding of digital marketing products, such as paid social, digital display, video, and websites.

• Ability to grow and nurture existing client accounts, driving long‑term value and retention.
• Committed to delivering exceptional customer service with a proactive and responsive approach.
• Knowledge of multimedia advertising is advantageous but not essential.
• A consultative, client-focused approach to sales, with strong listening and problem‑solving skills.
• Passionate about local media and motivated by helping businesses succeed.
• Able to commute to the office and travel within the territory for client meetings.
• Access to a vehicle for business use and holds a full UK driving licence.
