Northland Cleaning Supplies – Whangarei, North Island

Build relationships. Win new business. Grow your territory.

Northland Cleaning Supplies is one of Northland's leading independent suppliers of cleaning, hygiene, packaging and hospitality products.

We’ve built our reputation on exceptional service, reliability and integrity. Today we continue to lead the market by offering one of the region's most comprehensive product ranges.

We operate our own fleet of delivery vehicles and have dedicated Sales Representatives throughout Northland, allowing us to provide dependable weekly delivery and genuine local support to thousands of businesses across the region.

Our customers include healthcare facilities, aged care providers, schools, commercial cleaners, industrial businesses, cafés, restaurants, hotels, motels and many other hospitality businesses. Whether it's toilet paper, cleaning chemicals, rubbish bags, food packaging, coffee cups or washroom products, we pride ourselves on being our customers' one-stop solution.

We're looking for someone who enjoys the thrill of winning business just as much as looking after existing customers.

About the Role

You’ll spend your days out meeting customers, identifying opportunities, solving problems and growing your territory.

While you’ll inherit an established customer base to maintain and develop, your primary focus will be generating new business, opening new accounts and helping customers discover how Northland Cleaning Supplies can improve their purchasing, service and value.

Your territory will cover Whangārei, Mangawhai to Dargaville, with regular travel throughout.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Prospecting and securing new business opportunities.
• Growing sales within existing customer accounts.
• Building long-term relationships based on trust and service.
• Preparing quotations and following opportunities through to completion.
• Identifying customer needs and recommending tailored product solutions.
• Working alongside our customer service, warehouse and delivery teams to provide outstanding customer experiences.
• Representing a respected Northland business with nearly 40 years of industry experience.

About You

• You're motivated by achieving results.
• You enjoy meeting new people, aren't afraid to knock on doors, and genuinely enjoy turning opportunities into long-term customers.
• You're someone who:
• Loves the challenge of hunting for new business.
• Is confident starting conversations with decision makers.
• Builds relationships quickly and professionally.
• Is organised, self-motivated and manages your own time effectively.
• Enjoys being on the road and working independently.
• Takes pride in providing outstanding customer service after the sale.

Successful applicants will have proven experience in sales or business development. Industry experience isn't essential—we can teach our products—but a genuine passion for winning new business and building relationships is.

What We Offer

• Company vehicle.
• Competitive remuneration package.
• The backing of an experienced support team.
• The opportunity to represent one of Northland's most recognised independent suppliers.

If you're driven by results, enjoy meeting people and want to build a long-term career with one of Northland's most respected independent suppliers, we'd love to hear from you.

Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
