Do you know the trade industry, enjoy getting out in front of customers and have a knack for turning conversations into business?
We're recruiting two Sales Representatives for a well-established national supplier with a strong presence across Christchurch.
These roles are about getting out into the market, building relationships with tradespeople and contractors, and developing new business. You'll have the backing of an established branch network, excellent technology and a team that understands the importance of looking after its customers.
You don't need to come from electrical wholesaling. We're equally interested in people from plumbing, building supplies, lighting or other trade-related industries who understand how contractors work and what they need from their suppliers.
The role
Working closely with your local branch team, you'll manage and develop a customer territory across Christchurch.
Your focus will include:
- Getting out on the road, meeting customers and identifying new opportunities.
- Proactively approaching new customers and winning business.
- Building strong relationships with tradespeople, contractors and business owners.
- Understanding customer challenges and providing practical solutions.
- Developing existing accounts and growing sales and profitability.
- Using modern CRM systems and technology to manage your territory and sales activity.
- Working alongside branch staff to ensure customers receive excellent service.
What we're looking for
We're particularly interested in people who have worked in the trade industry and enjoy the sales side of the business.
You'll ideally have:
- Experience in electrical, plumbing, building supplies, lighting or another trade-related sector.
- A proactive approach to sales and developing customer relationships.
- An understanding of tradespeople, construction sites and the challenges customers face.
- Confidence picking up the phone, approaching new customers and following up opportunities.
- Good commercial awareness, organisational skills and confidence with technology.
- The motivation to work independently while being part of a supportive local team.
Previous B2B sales experience would be an advantage, but we're also open to people with strong trade industry experience who have the personality, commercial ability and drive to develop into a successful salesperson.
Electrical qualifications or electrical product knowledge would be useful, but aren't essential.
What's on offer?
- Competitive base salary with a generous performance-based incentive scheme.
- Company vehicle.
- Birthday leave and holiday home subsidies.
- Established national business with strong local support.
- Modern systems and technology to help you manage customers and opportunities.
- Ongoing training and professional development.
- Monday to Friday working week.
This is an opportunity to build a successful sales career with a business that has the products, systems and support to help you deliver.
