Telesales/ Business Developer

Description

The company is the UK's number one trade kitchen supplier, a FTSE 100 business with more than 900 depots and over 11,000 staff.

Last year sales were around 2.3bn, and growth continues. Despite its size, it remains a local business with traditional values, a strong entrepreneurial streak and a fast-paced, commercial pace.

As a Business Developer you will help grow your local depot by talking to trade customers in person and by phone, building relationships and driving business.

You will join a busy depot team, generating leads, booking appointments and keeping the pipeline moving alongside the Kitchen Sales Designers and Territory Sales Representatives, turning conversations into opportunities and sales.

The team works as one, takes pride in getting things right first time and shares in the depot bonus.
