Job description

Are you a driven individual, eager to learn and looking to progress your career in sales or account management? We’re seeking a Junior Sales Account Manager with a positive attitude to join our team and contribute to our continued success. Whether you’re currently in a sales administration or sales executive role, or even in a customer-facing hospitality role, your skill set is highly valued! This isn’t a desk-based role, so you’ll get the opportunity to meet clients face-to-face at some of the UK’s most famous venues and hospitality groups, being a reliable point of contact for sales enquiries, from initial enquiry through to quoting and ordering. As a Junior Sales Account Manager, you’ll get to work alongside and learn from our highly successful Business Development and Sales Account Manager team. As a multiple award-winning company that has experienced sustained growth since 1988, you’ll also be supported and learn from teams across the business including design, project management, and marketing. You’ll benefit from a hybrid working environment, and uncapped commission plus other incentives. This is your chance to be part of a growing company with a reputation for delivering some of the UK’s most desirable and efficient commercial kitchens.

Key responsibilities:

• Sales Growth: Growing revenue by generating new business from marketing leads & personal cold-calling or outreach to key stakeholders.
• Collaboration: Assist senior Account Managers and the Head of Sales with their existing clients by quoting and helping to drive sales, whilst working alongside them in meetings and on-site, as part of your continual development & training.
• Client Relationship Management: Customer service and lead qualification, communicating with different hospitality stakeholders, from Engineering Administrators to Executive Chefs.
• Account Management: Production of proposals and quotations, including those for self-generated opportunities and those from our marketing team or Service Desk.
• Customer Analysis: Utilise the company CRM to track, update and convert leads, plus find opportunities for existing customer outreach.

The fit:

• Experience in a sales admin, sales executive, or similar role is beneficial but not essential.
• Experience in a customer-facing hospitality role would also be considered.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills (telephone, email, face-to-face), with the ability to build rapport and trust with clients and suppliers.
• Excellent negotiation and problem-solving skills.
• Confidence to make outbound calls to stakeholders of varying seniority.
• The focus and ability to work autonomously.
• Strong organisational and time management abilities.
• Results-oriented with a passion for achieving KPI’s.

Benefits:

• Support from an award-winning marketing, design, and project delivery team to help you grow into a senior Sales Account Manager.
• Benefit from a share of 20+ leads per month generated by the marketing team.
• Full training given, including supplier and manufacturer.
• Uncapped bonus/commission structure.
• Salary progression as training milestones are hit.
• Hybrid and flexible working, with 1 – 2 days in our Stevenage office.
• Wellbeing Employee Assistance Programme.
• Company pension & life insurance.
• Competitive holiday allowance including Bank Holidays.
• Regular team lunches and events.
• The opportunity to dine for free at our project sites including fine-dining restaurants and 5* hotels.
