Area Sales Representative – Overview
At Travis Perkins we work in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with a culture that takes pride in what we do. We work as one team, achieving our goals by listening and supporting each other. Our team is brimming with some of the most creative and savvy minds in the industry, and we remain at the forefront of our markets thanks to our in-house product knowledge and brand marketing experience.
We are looking for an experienced, commercially minded and target driven Area Sales Representative who is equally passionate about our customers and the service we provide. This call requires a solid business development plan and a flair for negotiation. With both – and your natural drive for success – you’ll help make a £5 billion business even bigger.
Responsibilities
You will be responsible for the development of profitable sales from both new and existing customers within your region. You will be self‑driven to maximise the sales and profits from those customers by delivering sales against target through liaison with key stakeholders.
This is a great autonomous opportunity, where you will support the Regional Sales Manager by maintaining contact with National Account branches within the South West sales area.
Qualifications
We are after someone who’s enthusiastic, resilient and resourceful, with a sharp eye for identifying new sales opportunities and a passion for excellence. Being well‑organised and planned goes without saying, as you will be responsible for meeting our valued customer expectations.
* Proven ability to work within a territory/field based sales role.
* Built strong relationships with multiple customers and internal stakeholders.
* Proven experience in identifying new sales opportunities and the ability to create solutions for customers, to deliver long‑term profitable sales growth for both parties.
Benefits
You’ll have a fantastic opportunity to excel and continue to develop. We will support you with a development plan that embraces our values – the Cornerstones. These are: working for our customers, upholding family values, being the best, keeping people safe, and making decent returns.
We offer competitive pay and benefits, which include a half‑yearly colleague bonus, company car, contributory pension, private healthcare, life assurance, sharesave scheme, group‑wide discounts across the Travis Perkins Group (including Wickes and Toolstation), and online discounts at leading retailers. Our working hours also allow a great work‑life balance, as most customers enjoy their weekends and bank holidays, which means you can too.
