This is the UK's leading independent supplier of recycled plastic pallets and boxes used for transportation in the field of logistics, food processing, grocery retail and ecommerce. Clients include John Lewis, Sainsbury's, Boohoo and Lush.
As businesses become more focused on sustainability and as more products are delivered, they have seen a real surge in demand for their products. In fact, over the past year, new customer sales have grown by 15%, and they have posted record sales months for June and July.
Job Responsibilities:
* Building relationships with existing and new customers who may have requirements for their products - very little 'cold calling' involved
* Following up on inbound leads
* Managing multiple accounts simultaneously
* Identifying new sales opportunities through upselling, cross-selling, and gaining business referrals
* Maintaining records of all sales leads and customer accounts
* Educating customers on how products or services can benefit them
* Preparing and sending quotations by email and post
* Analysing customers to understand how to improve sales strategy, and making recommendations to management
Working hours are 8.30am until 5pm Monday to Friday. The salary is £25k and carries monthly bonuses of 20% of base salary based on hitting targets. Full training for the role will be provided on the job.
The Ideal Candidate Will:
* Live within a reasonable commute to Eastbourne
* Be confident speaking on the phone and have excellent communication skills
* Have strong oral and written communication skills
* Be a team player used to a busy office environment
* Be able to build strong and effective working relationships with customers and colleagues
* Be IT literate
* Be pro-active and able to work independently
* Demonstrate advanced administration skills
Due to the level of training and interaction required with the whole team, this is a permanent office-based role.
