Job description

BSS, a proud part of the Travis Perkins Group, has been a leader in the industry for over two centuries. What began as a small operation has grown into a diverse network of specialist brands with more than 1,400 branches across the UK. We're dedicated to delivering an unmatched level of customer service and are always pushing ourselves to be the best. We do this by staying bold and innovative, finding new ways to improve customer experience, profitability, and employee satisfaction. Above all, we care. We are committed to taking care of our customers and our colleagues.

We are looking for an experienced and energetic Sales Account Manager to join our team in Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk area.

What You’ll Do

Based out of the Norwich BSS branch, you will join a high-performing team of over 18 colleagues. Your main goal will be to manage a range of key accounts, providing exceptional customer service and maximising every opportunity. You\'ll work a Monday to Friday schedule, be predominantly field based, and only very infrequent overnight travel (about once a quarter). You\'ll use your competitive nature and comfort in the field to build strong, lasting relationships with customers. By understanding their needs and their business environment, you\'ll not only meet their current demands but also future-proof your working relationship.

We are looking for a high-performing sales professional with a proven track record of success in account management and business development.

Who You Are

You are a self-assured, well-organised individual with excellent communication skills. You have a solid background in sales and business development, with a talent for driving business forward through performance and sales. While experience in our sector is a plus, it isn\'t essential, as we will provide full training. Strong time management and commercial awareness are crucial, as is the ability to interpret information and spot opportunities.

• Competitive base salary with annual bonus
• Company car
• 22 days of holiday plus bank holidays
• Save As You Earn & Buy As You Earn schemes
• Group Life Assurance and Pension Scheme
• Access to over 1,000 retailer rewards and discounts
