* Building relationships with existing customers

* Identifying and developing new business opportunities

* Visiting customers across your territory

* Preparing quotations and following opportunities through to order

* Working closely with suppliers and technical colleagues

* Managing and growing your own customer portfolio

* You’ll typically spend around six months learning the business before moving into a predominantly external sales role.

About You

We’re looking for someone with ambition, enthusiasm and the desire to build a long-term sales career.

You’ll ideally have:

* Educated to degree level and have some previous sales experience

* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

* Confidence speaking with customers face-to-face and over the phone

* A proactive, self-motivated approach

* Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in business development

* A full UK driving licence

Above all, we’re looking for someone who enjoys building relationships and is motivated by developing new business.

What’s on Offer?

* £30,000 - £32,000 starting salary

* Annual bonus

* Structured training programme

* Clear progression into an external Business Development position

* Company vehicle once progressing into the field role

* Monday to Friday working

* Long-term career development within a growing specialist business

About the Business

Our client is a specialist distributor supplying HVAC, building controls and automation solutions to customers across a wide range of sectors including system integrators, facilities management companies, mechanical and electrical contractors, education, healthcare and OEM manufacturers.

Known for its technical expertise and customer service, the business offers genuine long-term career opportunities for ambitious people looking to develop within technical sales.

If you’re looking to launch a rewarding sales career with structured development and clear progression, we’d love to hear from you.
