Van Sales Representative

Van Sales Representatives

Location: Field-based / UK
Salary: £32-38K + commission/bonus
Hours: Full-time
Driving: Full UK driving licence required - maximum 3 points (must be over 25 years old for insurance purposes)

The Opportunity

We are looking for confident, driven and personable Sales Representatives to join an established company that is the sole UK distributor of its product.

This is a genuine field-based sales role, where you will spend your time on the road visiting independent shops, convenience stores and local retailers, building relationships with business owners and generating sales face-to-face.

You won't be sat behind a desk making endless cold calls. You'll be out meeting customers, developing relationships and putting the product directly in front of shop owners.

This role is more immediate and transactional, as you will carry stock in your van and sell directly to shops during your visits.

Rather than simply taking an order, you will have the products available in the van for customers to purchase there and then.

You'll be responsible for:

Visiting independent shops and convenience stores
Building relationships with shop owners
Presenting and selling products face-to-face
Carrying stock in your van
Selling products directly from the vehicle
Identifying what each customer is likely to need
Maximising each customer visit
Taking payment/orders in line with company procedures
Managing stock levels within your vehicle
Developing your own customer base
Increasing repeat business and sales
Working towards sales targets

This position would suit someone who enjoys fast-paced, face-to-face sales and likes the idea of being responsible for both the customer relationship and the stock they are selling.

We're looking for people who are:

Confident and comfortable speaking to business owners
Naturally personable and good at building relationships
Commercially minded and motivated by sales
Comfortable working independently
Organised and able to manage their own diary/route
Resilient and able to deal with rejection
Target-driven without being overly pushy
Presentable and professional
Energetic and willing to be out on the road every day
Able to identify sales opportunities and convert them
Full of personality and confidence when dealing with customers

Essential Requirement

Previous field sales, van sales, FMCG, convenience retail, wholesale or B2B sales experience

You must hold a full UK driving licence with no more than 3 points.

Why Join?

You'll be joining a business with a unique position in the UK market as the sole distributor of its product, giving you something different to take to customers rather than competing with a crowded marketplace.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Build your own territory
Develop genuine long-term customer relationships
Work independently and manage your own day
Earn additional money through commission/bonus
Work for a growing business with an exciting product
Progress your career within the sales team

The Person

Ultimately, we're looking for someone who likes people, likes selling and likes being out on the road.

If you can walk into a corner shop, introduce yourself to the owner, start a conversation and turn that conversation into a sale, we want to hear from you
