Job description

Graduate Sales Trainee

• £29,000 basic salary + annual profit share

• No experience required – full training provided

• Opportunity to progress into field sales and management

The Opportunity

Looking to kick-start your career in sales? This is an opportunity to join an established business, develop your commercial skills and build a career with plenty of room to progress.

We’re working with a UK-based B2B distributor specialising in batteries, battery packs and power solutions, supplying around 30 million batteries every year to customers across a range of industries.

As a Graduate Sales Trainee, you’ll work with new and existing customers across the South East, learning how to build relationships, identify opportunities and contribute to the growth of the business. You’ll receive structured training from day one, giving you the knowledge and confidence to develop into a successful sales professional.

Salary and Benefits

• £29,000 basic salary

• Annual profit-sharing scheme, recognising performance against target

• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays

• Fully funded Level 4 Sales Training Qualification

• Structured training and ongoing development

• Clear opportunities to progress into field sales and management

Where could it take you?

This role is designed for someone at the start of their career, with the opportunity to take on more responsibility as they develop. With experience, you could progress into a client-facing field sales role, with further opportunities to move into management.

You’ll also have the opportunity to complete a fully funded Level 4 Sales Training Apprenticeship through BMS Progress, alongside the training provided by the business.

We’ve already seen this progression in action, with a graduate placed by BMS in September 2024 moving into a client-facing role with a company car.

What are we looking for?

You don’t need previous sales experience. We’re more interested in your attitude, potential and willingness to learn.

• Communication skills: You’re comfortable speaking to people, building relationships and getting your point across, whether through work experience, university, sport or other activities.

• Resilience: You understand that success takes effort, can learn from setbacks and enjoy working towards a goal.

• Ambition: You’re keen to develop your skills, take on responsibility and make the most of the opportunities available to you.

• A commercial mindset: You’re interested in how businesses operate and motivated by the opportunity to contribute to their success.

If you’re a graduate looking for a role where you can build practical skills, earn a competitive starting salary and work towards a long-term career in sales, this is well worth exploring.
