Business Development Manager - Home/Field-based - Cumbria and Lake District
Up to £35,000 + uncapped bonus potential, company car & home-based contract
Here at Brakes, we’ve got ambitious growth plans. If you want to be a part of shaping the future of our independent business, joining a team at the cutting edge of foodservice trends, then we have a fantastic opportunity for a Business Development Manager to join our Independent Sales Team.
What you’ll be doing:
* Scope out, hunt, and seal the deal with fresh, independent new business opportunities whilst keeping that pipeline flowing.
* Cultivate connections with independent players in the local food market using your curiosity for all things foodie.
* Craft bespoke culinary propositions to help our customers save time and money.
* Serve up growth, hitting those profit targets and being rewarded accordingly.
* Welcome new clients with style and finesse, ensuring they feel right at home with your Area Sales Manager buddy.
* Monitor competition and independent market trends to provide the hottest solutions and insights.
* Achieve market goals like a seasoned foodie conquering a buffet!
What we are looking for:
Ideally, you’ll come from a similar background in Field Sales, however, this isn’t essential. We are looking for people with a commercial mindset, drive, and ambition to make a difference by delivering against targets.
The customer will be at the heart of everything you do, so confidence in being out in the field is essential. We have a great induction programme where we will teach you everything you need to know about our products and the business, so although food service experience or hospitality would be advantageous, you’ll get the training needed to succeed.
We’re passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that celebrates and values diversity. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture; we want you to define it. Bring your whole self to work. #BelongAtBrakes.
