Responsibilities of Field Sales Executive:

• As a Field Sales Executive, you will manage a defined territory covering the Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, South Wales areas.
• Working with a well-established existing account base of Independent and Convenience stores plus some specialist retailers, along with an element of new business development.
• The Field Sales Executive role (and CBG as a business) is very customer focused, they want people who can work with their accounts and develop relationships, effectively acting as mini-Business Managers and supporting them via a mutual growth plan. They don’t employ "reps".

You / Experience:

• The FIeld Sales Executive role draws on a whole host of your skills and abilities in working with the retailers.

• We look for the "right person" to join the business - salesy, target hitters with appetite and energy for success. Someone who has the drive and get up and go to achieve and still want to do more.

We're open on where you are in your work/life journey - you can be in field sales right now or a fresh graduate, or maybe you did a sandwich course with a year in business.

Alternatively you could be working in a retail store position, or a more general commercial environment such as recruitment and looking to get into FMCG field based selling. You will be well organised, used to the travel in the area but also looking for a fresh opportunity to make your mark, be capable and pragmatic and action orientated, and ultimately have a fun, outgoing and articulate character.

The talent to foster close working relationships with customers is vitally important but sales skills and the ability to spot an opportunity will be what gets you to achieve your target (and a healthy bonus!!).
