Sales / Product Development Executive

We are looking for sales candidates to join a fun & vibrant company with a unique sales model and ongoing training, support & progression opportunities!

This includes:

• Sourcing new, sometimes category-specific suppliers to be sold through retail and online channels according to given brief.
• Conducting research on potential new suppliers.
• Meeting set KPI’s and targets through outbound calls and ensuring margin requirements are achieved.
• Apply knowledge and understanding of the business model to ensure you are presenting an interesting and informative pitch.
• Ensure that all contracts for suppliers are correct and completed to deadline.
• Ensure new products / experiences are contracted at competitive rates to maximise profitability.
• Negotiate to director level through telephone and email correspondence.
• Ensure all admin is chased up and completed.
• Manage, log and respond to business enquiries.
• Work closely with relevant departments to ensure a smooth and efficient journey for new suppliers.
• Looking after and maintaining a solid business pipeline.
• Actively selling a range of gift experiences during key trading periods, working as part of a team of promotors using VR technology and visual display stands within stores and shopping centres.
• Support the Corporate Team at key trading periods as Merchandising Champions across the network of retailers.

What You Will Need

The perfect candidate will depend more on personality than experience, so whether you are looking to explore a career in sales or transition from a boring sales role into a fun one, this could be for you.
