The role
This a great chance for an outgoing and enthusiastic individual to join Carte Blanche in a field-based sales and account management role. Working with an array of fantastic brands in cards and gifts including Me To You, Tatty Teddy and Violent Veg, this presents an excellent opportunity to develop your career in commercial FMCG sales!
As a Business Development Executive, you will manage a defined territory covering Yorkshire and the surrounding area, with a well-established existing account base of Independent and Convenience stores plus some specialist retailers, along with an element of new business development.
The Field Sales role and business are very customer focused, they want people who can work with their accounts and develop relationships, effectively acting as mini-Business Managers and supporting them via a mutual growth plan.
The field sales role draws on a whole host of your skills and abilities in working with the retailer - sales, account management, new business, creative merchandising. So you’re going to need to be well prepared and organised, and confident in the fact that you will be operating remotely to targets and KPI’s.
You:
*You’ll need to be a livewire who really enjoys working with customers face to face
*Able to sell and achieve sales targets
*Thrives in this type of fast paced environment
*Highly personable, with real vigour for life and work, and be able to tune in to the needs of the retailer
*Highly organised
*Used to travelling as this is predominately field based
*Be capable and pragmatic and action orientated, and ultimately have a fun, outgoing and articulate character
*Having the ability to build close working relationships with customers is vitally important but sales skills and the ability to spot an opportunity will be what gets you to achieve your target (and a healthy bonus!!).
We look for the "right person" to join the business - salesy, target hitters with appetite and energy for success. Someone who has the drive and get up and go to achieve and still want to do more.
We’re open on where you are in your work/life journey - you can be in field sales right now or alternatively, you could be working in a retail store position, or a more general commercial environment and looking to get into FMCG field-based selling.
