The Role
  • Managing an existing base of Convenience and/or Foodservice outlets, ensuring they are stocking the right equipment, range and point of sales

  • Identifying the key decision makers in each outlet and flexing your style to influence effectively and build value-adding relationships.
  • Build and present selling stories to open up new distribution points, place additional point of sale or site locally agreed displays to increase consumer visibility and drive incremental sales of Unilever brands
  • Sell in forthcoming promotions to key contacts to ensure compliance
  • Site and maintain head-office or locally agreed Point Of Purchase equipment such as freezers or other fistulisation/kit
  • Hand-held invoicing and payment collection (using card-readers)

  • A passion for providing excellent customer service
  • Effective and flexible communication and inter-personal skills
  • High levels of initiative and the ability to work without direct supervision
  • Honesty and integrity
  • Experience in a similar field sales / van sales or merchandising role in the Retail, Convenience or foodservice sector will be an advantage, but full training will be provided to the successful candidate, plus ongoing support.
