Field Sales Consultant – Your Way – Home/Field Based - Bristol

Up to £35,000 with fantastic bonuses, company car or car allowance & home-based contract & excellent company benefits

We are expanding! Here at Brakes, we have ambitious growth plans and are launching a new offering called ‘Your Way’ within our Independent Sales business. As a Your Way Field Sales Consultant, you’ll be responsible for winning and maximising business in your very own dedicated neighbourhood of just one square mile.

This is a unique opportunity, not currently offered by any other business! If you want to be part of something new and exciting, and you love being out in the field while growing your career, what are you waiting for?

What will you be doing?

You’ll be solely responsible for the success of your local neighbourhood by:

• Researching your target audience and opportunities in your neighbourhood
• Building and leveraging strong customer relationships through face-to-face meetings and understanding customer needs
• Onboarding new customers effectively and maintaining relationships with existing accounts, tracking activity using Salesforce
• Working closely with your distribution partner/driver to create a strong community team
• Delivering profitable volume growth and hitting targets
• Monitoring competitor activity and market trends to offer the best solutions to customers

We are seeking someone who can win new business and maximise sales with existing customers. Ideally, you’ll have a background in Field Sales or Account Management, be commercially astute, proficient in Excel, and skilled in building relationships. A passion for sales is essential. Experience in food is a plus but not required.

In return, we offer a competitive salary, fantastic bonus potential, a home/field-based contract, a company car, holiday purchase options, and access to award-winning products at nearly cost price. You’ll also have opportunities to develop your skills through our industry-leading Learning & Development programmes and progress into various commercial roles within our salesforce of over 500 people.

Additional Information

At Brakes, everyone is welcome. We value your potential and unique talents, focusing on who you are rather than just your CV.
