Sales Representative - Field Based - Reed : Job Details

Job Description: Sales Representative – Field Based

Location:  North-West, predominantly Greater Manchester

Salary: £35,000 per annum (no commission)

Job Type: Permanent

Working Schedule: 7 hours a day + 1 hour lunch – can choose your working day times and lengths, as long as these hours are hit by the end of the week and results are being shown!

Please note, the company is based in London and therefore your role will be a remote field sales representative. The goal of your role is to be face-to-face with your customer base.

We are very excited to be recruiting for a Sales Development Manager to cover the Manchester/North-West region for an industry leader in the transport and logistics industry!

Our client is a 135-year-old business, whose roots began with the goal of supporting the bus industry with essential benefits, such as health cover. Fast-forward to present day, they have a huge 21,000 customer members in the South of England and £75million in company assets.

Now due to exciting growth opportunities, our client is searching for a dedicated Northern based sales representative to join their team.  

The product that you will be selling is a membership, and all the sales will be face-to-face and directly with customers. However, the product genuinely is a benefit to your target demographic, so if you’re looking to go home feeling like you’ve made a positive difference every day, then this could be the role for you.

You will be tasked with seeking new business opportunities in order to expand the reach in the North. There will be an expectation to be out selling the product to new customers, with a requirement to travel down to the London headquarters once every 3 months (travel costs will be reimbursed) to meet with the team. Mainly, the location will be in-and around Manchester, however if business opportunities do begin to arise around the North-West, then you will also be expected to travel to capitalise on this!

Given that the business is new to the North with no direct competitors up here, there is an enormous amount of opportunity for you to generate new business growth and hit the ground running quickly. So, if you are a target-driven sales expert who is not afraid of a challenge and wants to make a positive difference every day, read below to find out more!
