Field Sales Executive

Field Sales Executive, corporate clothing and managed workwear

Location:

Field-based, Northern Home Counties and South Midlands
Salary: £35,000 to £40,000, plus bonus on contracts won and a company car

Ready to move into field sales?

You’re good on the phone. You can call someone who isn’t expecting it and turn that into a real conversation. Now you want to take that conversation all the way, from the first call, to sitting with the customer working out what they need, to winning the contract.

This role gives you the whole sales process.

The company
A family-owned workwear supplier in Bedfordshire, with a team of over 60 on one site. They supply branded uniform and workwear programmes to businesses, with embroidery, print, stock-holding and dispatch all done in-house. The division has grown steadily over the past three years, and you would be the second person in it.

What you’ll be doing

* Prospecting by phone, Linked In and in person to find businesses that need a workwear supplier

* Booking and running your own appointments

* Understanding what each customer needs and putting the right range together from a wide supplier network

* Closing the deal, then looking after the account once it’s won

What you’ll get
You’ll report to a Head of Sales who took this service to market and grew it, so you’re learning from someone who has done the job. You’ll be taught the field side properly, from discovery and proposals through to closing, rather than being left to work it out. Early on you’ll spend time at the head office learning the products and the production side, before building your own patch.

Who this would suit
You’re currently in internal sales, telesales, business development or account management in workwear, uniforms, print, promotional products, office supplies or textile services. You’ll already know how businesses buy these products and services. What matters is that you’re comfortable calling people who aren’t expecting it, and you want to own the full sales process.

You’ll need a full UK driving licence and to live within reach of Dunstable.
