This is a hands-on, field-based sales role, with a strong focus on door-to-door business development. You will be responsible for identifying new business opportunities, approaching potential customers, winning new accounts and building long-term commercial relationships.

• Achieve and exceed monthly sales targets.
• Follow up prospects and nurture relationships to secure new contracts.
• Maintain accurate customer and sales information using the CRM system.
• Act as a key point of contact for customers, working closely with internal teams to ensure a smooth service.
• Support the wider sales team and Sales Manager with business development activities.

• A confident, articulate and politely persistent approach.
• Good knowledge of social media and digital lead generation.
• A self-motivated, ambitious and positive attitude.

• A full UK driving licence.

The Candidate: 

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys winning new business. You'll need to be comfortable getting out on the road, knocking on doors, starting conversations and creating opportunities rather than waiting for leads to come to you.

Rain or shine, you'll be expected to get out there, build relationships and deliver results.

Package & Benefits: 

• £28,000 basic salary (OTE £50,000+) 
• Industry-leading commission structure
