Head of Sales

Aspirations to further your sales career with a genuine market leading foodservice specialist?

THE COMPANY:

We are a genuine market leader in the provision of bakery products to the foodservice sector. Over the last 30 years we have demonstrated rapid growth to enable us to provide full coverage to retailers across the UK. Through this we have developed a strong relationship with convenience and forecourt retailers to whom we provide bakery solutions including bread, patisserie, breakfast products, and speciality bakery products. Due to sustained growth we are seeking to add further personnel to our dynamic, successful sales team throughout the UK. We pride ourselves on having all of the benefits of a corporate employer combined with a family company feel to our value of all of our employees.

THE ROLE:

This role involves the conversion of leads provided to us by our major retail wholesale distributors for convenience retail and forecourts seeking to add a premium baked product range to their retail outlets. You will be responsible for making contact with these outlets, visiting sites to establish the best possible solutions and products for their business, and subsequently securing commercial agreements as a supplier. Once on board, these accounts will be managed and further developed by our account management team. The role also involves managing an existing portfolio of accounts and developing these clients. It is key to highlight that this is NOT a cold calling new business role. The majority of the prospect accounts will fall within the categories of convenience retail and forecourt independents.

THE APPLICANT:

This is a fantastic opportunity for candidates who have experience of selling into retail on a regional level, who are keen to further develop their career in this area.

1. Candidates must have a proven track record in Field Sales.
2. Candidates must have previous experience of selling into convenience retail/independents.
3. We particularly welcome applications from candidates from a Field Marketing background into retail, keen on working directly for a brand and benefiting from a lucrative commission scheme.
4. Candidates need to enjoy business travel and converting prospects into new accounts.
