As the leading importer of branded American grocery lines into the UK, our client has an unrivalled reputation for their high standards of customer service and innovative food products. A unique opportunity has now arisen for a Business Development Manager / Field Sales Representative to join their team.

This is the ideal position for a candidate with some sales experience to play a key role from day one. Not only does this role offer the chance to join a fantastic company, but for the right person there is ample scope to develop your career.

As a Business Development Manager / Field Sales Representative you will be responsible for selling a range of sugar free, gluten free and wheat free cookies to retailers in London. The product range is already the leading product in its field, and is established in top stores throughout the country which means you will be selling a successful product with much popularity.

Focusing on the London area, you will be tasked with creating a sales strategy for the brand, and then applying your proven sales skills to sell to a range of retailers. This will involve making and attending appointments to sell the products, and generating ongoing business with existing clients.

As well as developing business in London, this role will involve pushing the brand to larger companies and into different areas such as gyms, petrol stations and chemists. Another key part of your position will be representing and promoting the brand at various trade shows. Once you have developed into the role, you will have the chance to further your career and grow with the business by building a sales team.

To succeed as the Business Development Manager / Field Sales Representative you will need to demonstrate previous sales experience, knowledge of the sales process and a proven track record of meeting targets. Equally as important will be your enthusiastic and driven approach.

Any sales experience within the food industry would be beneficial to your application but is by no means essential.

If your skills and experience meet with any of our client's requirements and/or needs, we will provide our clients with your full details so that they can consider whether you may be suitable for the vacancy advertised.
