Job description
Are you currently in a manual horticulture role but looking to move into something more customer-focused, without losing touch with your plant knowledge? This could be your chance to step into a dynamic sales role while still doing what you love.
The Role
This is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about horticulture and interested in developing a career in sales. You'll be joining a thriving horticultural business based in Kent that supplies high-quality plants to wholesale nurseries and landscaping businesses.

- Build relationships and manage key client accounts
- Proactively identify new business opportunities
- Deliver excellent customer service and satisfaction
- Still enjoy the world of plants-just in a new, customer-facing way
- Provide accurate quotes by email or telephone
- Process online orders using company retail system
- Liaise with customers over stock shortages or quality issues, offer compatible substitutes of in-stock lines where possible and order plants in when required
- Source stock for order fulfilment
- Submit orders for picking
