The Role
As the Area Sales Manager, you'll take ownership of your territory and play a key role in driving new business and sustainable sales growth. You'll typically spend three to four days per week in the field, visiting prospective and existing customers across the foodservice sector. You'll be confident walking into businesses, introducing yourself to key decision-makers and turning conversations into commercial opportunities.
While winning new business will be a major focus, you'll also work closely with our established customers to identify untapped potential, increase customer value, grow product range and strengthen long-term relationships.
This is a role for someone who enjoys creating opportunities from scratch and isn't reliant on inbound leads or simply managing an existing account list.
