Northampton
Full-time, permanent
£30,000 basic + uncapped commission + company bonus
If you enjoy building relationships, spotting opportunities and turning conversations into results, this could be the role for you.
We're working with an established, award-winning business that supplies a range of technical products to organisations across the UK. With ambitious growth plans and a strong focus on customer service, they're looking for motivated salespeople who want to develop their skills, earn great money and be part of a team that genuinely supports one another.
This isn't a hard-sell, high-pressure environment. It's about understanding customers, finding the right solutions and building relationships that lead to long-term business.
You'll be joining a business where ambition and teamwork go hand in hand. Success is celebrated, ideas are encouraged and people are given the opportunity to grow. From team awards and regular learning sessions to social events and shared successes, there's plenty going on beyond the day-to-day sales targets.
The culture is built around accountability, honesty, high standards and continuous improvement. You'll be encouraged to bring your own personality, contribute ideas and make a real impact.
Key Duties:
Managing incoming enquiries, warm leads and relationships with existing customers to identify sales opportunities.
Speaking with businesses to understand their requirements and recommend suitable products and solutions.
Preparing quotations, negotiating where appropriate and converting opportunities into sales.
Building lasting customer relationships through helpful, professional and consistent communication.
Keeping track of opportunities, customer interactions and sales activity using the company's CRM system.
Working closely with colleagues and suppliers to deliver the best possible solutions.
Developing your product knowledge and identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.
Taking ownership of your targets while contributing to the wider team's success.
Most of your work will be handled over the phone, email and Microsoft Teams, with occasional visits to key customers.
The Ideal Candidate:
We're interested in people who have the drive to succeed and the attitude to do it the right way.
Have experience in B2B sales, account management or another customer-facing commercial role.
Enjoy working towards targets and are motivated by the opportunity to earn uncapped commission.
Are confident communicating with different people and building rapport.
Can identify customer needs, ask the right questions and recommend suitable solutions.
Stay positive when things don't go to plan and are willing to learn from setbacks.
Take responsibility for your work, welcome feedback and look for ways to improve.
Enjoy being part of a team where people support each other and celebrate shared success.
A strong work ethic, commercial awareness and a genuine commitment to customers are what matter most.
Experience selling technical products would be useful, but it's not essential. Full product knowledge can be developed on the job.
What's in it for you?
£30,000 basic salary plus uncapped commission and a company bonus.
31 days' annual leave, including bank holidays, plus your birthday off.
Health cash plan, 24/7 employee assistance programme and shopping discounts.
