You're someone who brings energy, resilience, and a genuine hunger to succeed in sales. You won't be afraid to pick up the phone, handle objections, and push through when targets are challenging. Attitude matters just as much as experience.

You're commercially astute, able to think creatively when structuring solutions for customers – using initiative to present deals that work for both the client and the business, while operating within clear commercial parameters. While experience within utilities, construction, or safety equipment is ideal (for example selling PPE for a distributor), we're open to applications from other industries.

• Proven ability in telephone‑led sales activity and lead conversion
• Success working to KPIs and revenue targets
• Skill in managing multiple opportunities and prioritising workload effectively
• Competence using CRM systems and IT tools to track and manage sales activity
