Acton, West London (Daily Field Based Role)

Are you an experienced Field Sales Executive seeking a new challenge? Look no further than this exceptional opportunity to drive sales growth for a rapidly expanding FMCG company.

In this pivotal role, you'll spearhead our client's expansion into the vibrant London market, establishing a brand-new sales route from the ground up. Immerse yourself in the city's rich cultural tapestry as you forge lasting partnerships with independent & convenience retailers across diverse communities.

Your mission? To introduce their premium snack and confectionery range - including exclusive European imports and a newly launched own-label brand - to a previously untapped market brimming with potential.

Specifically, this is a van-based sales role. So, each day you will start off at our client's Acton site in West London, collecting your stock for the day and your target list/route plan of potential clients. You will then set off to visit your customers, with the aim to sell stock on a new trial or replenishment basis. At the end of the day, you will return to the depot dropping your van off.

Key Responsibilities:

· Kickstart a brand-new sales route by cold-calling and winning over independent retailers

· Foster long-term customer relationships through exceptional service and rapport-building

· Expertly promote the company's products, highlighting unique selling points and upselling opportunities

· Van loading and route planning

· Seamlessly navigate London's bustling streets, optimising your sales and delivery routes for maximum efficiency

· Ensure full compliance with local traffic regulations, including congestion and emission zones

· Meticulously handle cash transactions and reconcile sales records with pinpoint accuracy

The Ideal Candidate:

· Proven field sales prowess in the FMCG/snacks & confectionery sector, or other FMCG products, ideally with van-based sales experience

· Experience selling into the independent retail and convenience or petrol forecourt sector would be particularly advantageous.

· Exceptional communication, negotiation, and persuasion abilities to captivate customers

· Unflappable resilience and adaptability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment

· Impeccable organisational skills to juggle multiple tasks with ease

· Valid UK driving license and an understanding of navigating around London's streets

· Experience in cash handling and a track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets

· A genuine passion for building connections with diverse communities

Our client will offer a base salary of £28500 plus an initial guaranteed £5000 in bonus to get you started. You will also receive an additional performance/sales target based bonus plus other benefits.

Don't miss this ground-floor opportunity to join our client's tight-knit, family-oriented team and play a pivotal role in their expansion across London. Embrace the challenge, showcase your talents, and propel your sales career to new heights!
