Are you a strong character ready to bring your sales skills to a leading UK Fertiliser trader, or do you have a practical farming background and enjoy building relationships?
We are seeking an experienced salesperson to join a growing operation. As part of expansion plans, this UK leading fertiliser business is hiring a new Area Sales Manager to join an existing team across the country. You will cover the Home Counties area, north of London from Reading to Southend on Sea. Local contacts and knowledge are advantageous but not essential. Key to this growth is bringing in new business and building a sales ledger, making appointments and striking deals. You will be comfortable getting onto farm and talking fertiliser with farmers!
With the team spread across multiple sites in the country, you will work independently, report directly to the Director, and collaborate with colleagues in other regions.
Remuneration: Competitive salary package + Bonus structure, Company Car + Fuel Card. Good opportunity for career progression.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Area Sales: Take responsibility for the Home Counties area where you will be calling on farms to offer sound technical advice to businesses, farmers and fertiliser customers whilst also being responsible for your own sales ledger.
2. Brand Promotion: Represent and promote all aspects of the company during customer interactions, highlighting our commitment to quality and service.
3. Customer Management: Develop and maintain strong relationships with our existing customer ledger, ensuring customer satisfaction and retention. Undertake an elevated level of farm visits to achieve business growth requirements.
4. Personal Development: An ever-learning mindset and desire to grow personally and professionally under the mentorship of the Managing Director.
What We are Looking For:
1. Dynamic & Self-Motivated: A go-getter who thrives in a competitive environment.
2. Organised: Strong time management skills to handle customer accounts and sales strategies effectively.
3. Excellent Communication: Ability to engage with customers and convey the benefits of our products clearly.
4. Sales Experience: Considerable experience in Sales, or failing that, an eagerness to go out and sell. This role requires the ability to go out and find new business.
5. Agricultural Experience: While not essential, previous agricultural experience will be advantageous. The right attitude, however, is more important.
