Firstly - the important basics before you read further! This is a new and Salaried role for our Group of associated businesses, which means the pay range you see advertised is what you will earn, and not an OTE. We pay and reward based on the effort we know our great people put in. This is a new and developmental post for an ambitious individual to bring your existing workplace B2B (Business To Business, rather than Business To Consumer) customer facing experience to us, but in turn for us to then train you on our diverse range of successful business, all within a long-established family-owned structure. The intention is for the post holder to work with current team members with a view to leading the future development of the sales function in the future. Who are we? Our Group of connected businesses includes one of the leading producers of quality building sands, silica sands, crushed concrete, and recycled aggregates in South East England. Our sectors include recycling, quarries, and haulage. All our enterprises are based upon acting responsibly, delivering quality, and building long-term relationships. Your role? The overall purpose of the role is to work with external customers and colleagues across the group of businesses, and be responsible for managing the relationship with existing customers, and bringing in new sales. You will be managing the relationships with those existing customers via effective communication, and identifying opportunities to maximise sales. Utilising professional social media platforms to maximum effect, to promote the company and its services, whilst reporting on sales activities on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. That is just for starters: this is a varied role, and we want you to make as much of the opportunities as you can. The salary for the role is £30,000 - £35,000, plus a competitive benefits package – with the opportunity for significant future progression. What are we looking for? A relevant degree in a business / finance related area is essential. Business To Business sales experience is key. Knowledge of our sector(s) would be a bonus but is not essential. Highly motivated, with a strong commercial focus, equally strong communication, customer service, and negotiation and persuasion skills. Good analytical skills along with good organisation and planning. You’ll need to hold a valid driving licence, and have use of your own vehicle for visits to our sites / customers, as and when required, although this is primarily an office-based role. Finally - a willingness to learn and to develop yourself further! Next steps: If the timing is right, and you would like to develop your existing business customer facing skills further, we'd love to hear from you. We are an equal opportunities employer, and value the diversity of all our employees. We are committed to creating a working environment that is based on respect and inclusion, where everyone can contribute and realise their full potential.
