Passion for business development?

Thrive in a fast-paced environment?

Enjoy building lasting relationships with clients?

Enjoy a "warm lead" approach instead of cold calling?

The Role:

Our client, a rapidly growing FMCG provider who sit within the convenience products sector, are seeking dynamic Account Managers/Sales Executives to join their expanding team.

This role is ideal for individuals with a mature, strategic approach to business development who are ready to pick up the phone, reach out to potential clients, and drive new business growth. Once clients are onboarded, you'll shift into account management, fostering strong relationships and unlocking additional opportunities for growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct high-volume outbound sales calls to potential customers through warm lead generation.
  • Maintain regular communication with existing clients to ensure satisfaction, secure repeat business, and foster strong customer loyalty.
  • Grow existing accounts where possible through negotiation and upselling.
  • Handle customer objections and concerns with professionalism and confidence, turning challenges into opportunities.
  • Utilise CRM systems to manage customer interactions and maintain accurate records of sales activities.
  • Follow up with customers post-sales to ensure their satisfaction and secure repeat orders.

The Person:

  • A proven track record in account management, ideally in an FMCG or product based company.
  • Extensive experience in making outbound sales calls and successfully closing sales over the phone.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills to effectively engage with customers.
  • The ability to thrive in a fast-paced sales environment, demonstrating resilience and adaptability.
  • A drive for sales success.

This is a great opportunity to work for a growing FMCG company who distribute products worldwide! The position will join a relatively small team of 20 in a fun, dynamic and supportive work environment. They are looking for the right people to join them on this journey of growth! If you have the experience outlined above, please submit your CV immediately to be considered.
