What does an average week look like?

Working to your strengths, you will be in a high profile, key sales role responsible for developing, growing and managing client relationships and Wholesale accounts within. More specifically this will see you:

• Generating leads across Electrical Wholesalers and opening new accounts/branches as well generating leads across major end user and service providers that will create further demand and loyalty in NSW
• Maintaining and building strong existing relationships that will see a further increase in new accounts, purchasing frequency and value
• Developing and executing regionally and/or customer specific promotional campaigns including instore promotions, short term discounts or offers and engagement campaigns with end users
• Be setting your agenda daily. You will be empowered to create a sales plan and call cycle for your territory and then to execute on this, tracking the sales growth and opportunities as you go
• Be business planning constantly - with accurate volume forecasting
• Be collaborating with your colleagues and broader sales teams to identify and grow revenue opportunities within your territory

  Here’s what it will take: 

• You will have a strong foundation of sales and/or brand activation experience into the Trade (B2B) and likely have been in a Business Development Manager, Account Manager and/or Sales Executive role (or similar). Those with sales experience within electrical product wholesale (or similar e.g. building products wholesale) will be viewed favourably as will an Electrician with sales experience. 
• You have a passion for sales and the trade industry, and you thrive in a role where you are out of the office and on the road, developing new business and growing existing accounts and relationships
• You are self-motivated, goal driven, have a healthy sense of initiative and work well within a small team
• You have a customer focus, excellent communication skills and a thirst for results
• You demonstrate exceptional professional relationship-building skills, and you have strong commercial acumen. You take a genuine interest in your customers and seek to understand how you can add value to their businesses
• You can confidently provide the ‘pitch’ and back yourself at every turn
• You can identify opportunities with innovative solutions and be able to converse and present to all levels
• You are professionally mature: you inspire confidence, you are commercial, and you are motivated by driving a customer-led agenda
• You have always demonstrated sound judgment: in anticipating challenges, problem-solving, and seeking the right resources to resolve issues
