Build a Successful Career in B2B Sales
Are you an ambitious graduate looking to build a successful career in professional B2B sales?
Would you like to join an established business where you'll receive excellent training, build valuable commercial experience and develop long-term relationships with trade and commercial customers across a wide range of industries?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a friendly, supportive team where you'll play an active role from day one. You'll learn the business, develop your sales skills and take ownership of building your own customer portfolio while working alongside experienced colleagues who will support your development.
About the Business
Our client is a long-established specialist distributor supplying genuine spare parts and replacement products from many of the world's leading manufacturers.
Working with leading brands across heating, ventilation, hot water, domestic appliances and commercial catering equipment, they support a diverse customer base including electrical wholesalers, contractors, facilities management companies, maintenance providers, service engineers and trade professionals throughout the UK.
Their reputation has been built on combining extensive product knowledge, excellent customer service and reliable availability, helping customers quickly source the correct parts to keep homes, commercial buildings and public facilities operating efficiently.
As part of a larger group, the business offers the stability and resources of an established organisation while maintaining the supportive, close-knit culture of a local team. They are committed to developing their people through structured training, ongoing mentoring and genuine opportunities to build long-term careers within the business.
The Role
This is a proactive, relationship-focused sales position where you'll be responsible for developing your own portfolio of customers while identifying opportunities to grow sales across both new and existing accounts.
Working alongside an experienced team, you'll receive the product knowledge and commercial training needed to become a trusted point of contact for your customers. You'll spend your time building relationships, preparing quotations, following up opportunities and helping customers find the right products and solutions for their business.
You'll enjoy plenty of variety, balancing outbound business development with account management and inbound customer enquiries, giving you the opportunity to develop a broad range of commercial skills.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Developing relationships with new, existing and dormant business customers
* Proactively generating new business opportunities by telephone
* Managing your own portfolio of customer accounts
* Preparing quotations and following opportunities through to order
* Growing existing accounts through regular contact and excellent customer service
* Identifying additional sales opportunities across the product range
* Maintaining accurate CRM records and customer information
* Working closely with colleagues to deliver the best outcome for customers
* Handling inbound enquiries and providing knowledgeable sales support
About You
This role would suit someone who:
* Has recently graduated (in any discipline) or is an ambitious early-career professional
* Enjoys speaking with people and building long-term relationships
* Is commercially minded and motivated by achieving results
* Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* Is organised, proactive and eager to learn
* Wants to build a long-term career in B2B sales
No previous industry experience is required. Your attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn are far more important than your existing knowledge.
What's on Offer?
* £29,000 - £31,000 starting salary
* Annual Profit Share Bonus
* Structured training and ongoing mentoring
* Comprehensive product and industry training
* Opportunity to build valuable B2B sales and account management experience
* Friendly, supportive and collaborative working environment
* Long-term career stability within a successful business
* Monday to Friday working hours
* Full-time permanent position
