You will be responsible for generating your own leads, developing a strong sales pipeline and converting opportunities into long-term customers.

You will benefit from a comprehensive onboarding programme, ongoing training and continued support to help you succeed and develop your career.

The role – what you'll be doing

• Proactively identifying, researching and targeting new business opportunities within your assigned territory.
• Taking ownership of developing your own sales pipeline from the ground up, generating leads through cold calling, networking, prospecting, face-to-face visits and other business development activities.

• Converting new opportunities into long-term, profitable customer relationships.
• Achieving and exceeding personal new business targets and budgets.
• Developing existing customer relationships to maximise sales opportunities and account growth.

Ideally, you will have:

• Proven sales experience, working towards personal sales targets.
• A successful track record in new business development and winning customers.
• A self-starter who is confident generating their own leads and building a pipeline, rather than relying on inbound enquiries.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and the ambition to grow their own territory.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• The ability to build strong, lasting business relationships.
• A confident, positive and approachable personality.
• Honesty, integrity and a strong work ethic.

• £10,000 OTE.
• Comprehensive onboarding and training programme.
• Ongoing support, coaching and career development.
• The opportunity to make a real impact within an established national logistics organisation.
• The autonomy to develop and grow your own territory.
