What's the role about?
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 we need commercially sharp, target-driven Business Development Executives who can win volume transfer deals in the convenience channel.
This is about building relationships, showing the benefits of our offering, and securing transfer orders that move serious volume.
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 symbol convenience stores around the Cambridge, Colchester, Luton area.
Your mission:
* Quickly establish strong working relationships - you’ll 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.
If you treat your patch like your own business, you’ll thrive here.
Who Will Succeed in This Business Development Role?

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

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. Why? Because this is a brand‑new launch and we’re building the team quickly.
Here’s the upside: Perform well, deliver results, prove the model works - and there is strong potential for extension.
If you’re confident in your ability, that shouldn’t worry you. It should motivate you.
