Sales Executive – Convenience
Do you know how to turn “I’ll think about it” into “Put me down for 25 cases”? Some salespeople visit stores. Others win them. Which are you? We’re building a brand-new field sales team and need commercially sharp, target-driven Business Development Executives who can win volume transfer deals in the convenience channel.
Up to £31,900 On Target Earnings + Company Car | 3 Month FTC (Launch Team)
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Sales Executive you’ll represent a major wholesaler, selling transfer orders into convenience stores around the Newport, Cardiff, Bristol, Worcester area.
* Quickly establish strong working relationships – visit stores weekly
* Influence store decision‑makers
* Drive product distribution by selling in weekly deals on offer
* Land volume transfer orders
This is performance‑led. You’ll have clear targets, clear expectations, and full ownership of your territory. Treat your patch like your own business and you’ll thrive here.
Who Will Succeed in This Business Development Role?
We’re specifically looking for salespeople who have experience in one or more of the following:
* Worked directly for a wholesaler selling into convenience retailers
* Strong van sales experience in the independent retail sector
* Experience selling into convenience stores
* Food service sales
You’ll also bring:
* Ability to build rapport quickly
* A proven track record of hitting or beating targets
* The resilience to handle objections and still close
* A competitive mindset – you play to win
* A full UK driving licence for at least 12 months
If you enjoy the buzz of closing a deal and knowing you’ve outperformed your week before lunchtime Friday, this will suit you.
Let’s Be Clear
This is a 3‑month fixed‑term contract because we are launching a brand‑new team quickly. Perform well, deliver results, prove the model works – there is strong potential for extension. Confidence is more motivating than worry.
What’s In It For You
* £29,000 basic salary + 10% performance bonus (£31,900 OTE)
* Company car
* A high‑visibility launch project
* The chance to prove yourself quickly
* Real potential to extend beyond the initial term
This role is for someone who doesn’t need hand‑holding, doesn’t wait for perfect conditions, and doesn’t shy away from targets. If you’re competitive, commercially aware, and confident you can win volume in the convenience market, we want to hear from you.
