The company

A privately owned, well respected business supplies company is looking to hire a dedicated, enthusiastic & entrepreneurial Field Sales Executive to join their team.

If you're a person with an enthusiasm for sales and keen to work with a company which has a real family feel, where getting the balance right between work and life outside work is important, then this might be just the job for you.

There are already a number of long-standing client accounts for you to manage as well as a large geography across the Stroud area for new sales opportunities. As this company's new Field Sales Executive, it will be your great people skills and your aptitude for building great customer relationships that they're looking for, along with your skill for securing new sales.

This is a field based Sales Executive role covering the Stroud area, so living in this region is important. Although most of your work will be done in the field, you'll be provided you with everything you need to complete all of your administration from home. This company is a family orientated firm and they encourage a healthy work/life balance for all their employees so they won't expect you to be out on the road all day and then to do your admin in the evenings and weekends!

Ideal background

This role would suit you if you've held any of these job titles (or similar!) in the past: sales executive, sales person, sales representative, account manager, business development executive, customer service executive, telesales executive, estate agent, recruitment consultant or similar
