JOB DESCRIPTION:
As our Area Sales Manager, your key responsibility is to grow our Personal Care portfolio across the UK. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will form a crucial part of our current sales team of 2 external sales specialists and 1 internal sales executive. Your responsibilities will include:
1. Maintaining relationships with our current key clients through effective account management.
2. Developing and implementing a sales strategy for your product focus and territory.
3. Overseeing and managing any new business opportunities in your area.
4. Staying updated on industry trends and competitor activities, sales performance & market trends.
PERSON SPECIFICATION:
Ultimately, you will have already been a successful salesperson with a desire and drive to do more. You may have come from a personal care background or had some exposure to health and beauty and be looking for your next step to join a business that is really looking to grow. Ideally, you will have:
1. Some exposure to contract manufacturing and understand the types of contacts you need to generate business in this arena.
2. Prolonged experience of managing your own diary and prospecting a territory with little or no supervision.
3. The drive and desire to always be looking for the next sale; this role really will suit someone who is always looking for the next deal.
4. Experience of generating your own business; we will get inquiries and leads generated for you, but you will need to prospect and generate your own business too.
It would be ideal if you have worked in a contract manufacturing environment and have knowledge of how this service fits into the supply chain of health and beauty products, but ultimately the right person with the right attitude and drive is the most important thing.
