The Company:

A privately owned, successful manufacturing business with high staff morale where everyone is valued.

They have already won some impressive national account business and this role has been created to drive sales growth in the independent retail channel.   

The Role of Sales Representative:

Working from home, you will be tasked with opening new garden centre stockists and increasing sales through regular calls and high levels of customer service. You will be very well supported by your office and Sales Manager with existing customer lists and new leads being provided but this is a pioneering role where every new customer will be celebrated.
