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. As a Sales Executive, you’ll represent a major wholesaler, selling transfer orders into convenience stores around Cambridge, Colchester, and Luton. Your mission:
Responsibilities
* 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.
Qualifications
* Worked directly for a wholesaler selling into convenience retailers (e.g. Bestway, Booker, Parfetts, Dhamecha, Fillshill, Unitas)
* Strong van sales experience in the independent retail sector
* Experience selling into convenience stores (e.g. Spar, Londis, Costcutter)
* Food service sales
* 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.
