Do you have the correct profile? We would love to hear from you if you are an experienced territory/client facing B2B sales professional (ideally minimum of 2 years field based/client facing sales experience). You will be an effective negotiator, with the ability to actively build strong relationships via first class communication and influencing skills. You will enjoy genuinely ‘adding value’ to customers as your prior experience will already have seen you selling a solution. Selling with integrity, you will be accustomed to delighting customers and be able to illustrate a recent track-record of success in meeting sales targets. We would ask that you live ‘on patch’ (within the stated territory area) and have a valid UKdriving license. Any prior sales experience gained within logistics or supply chain solutions as well as other similar distribution businesses (packaging, consumables, PPE, stationary, catering etc.) can also translate well. What is most important however is that you have recent B2B field sales/customer facing experience, can demonstrate a record of impressive performance (must include some ‘new business acquisition success), are open to learning our business and sector and will be comfortable with a more technical solution-based sales approach. A fully valid UK driving license is essential and you will ideally reside on patch within the East Yorkshire area. You will also be using a CRM (dynamics) alongside the usual MS Office products, so computer literacy is important.
