Job Description
Thirsty for a change? Join our growing team as a Sales Executive, representing iconic brands such as Lucozade Energy, Lucozade Sport, Ribena and -196. Salary: £28,121.60 + 10% bonus, plus company manual van, expenses, tablet and mobile phone
Ideal location: Nottingham, United Kingdom, NG6
Territory: Nottingham and surrounding areas
This is a field-based, KPI-driven sales role
As a Sales Executive, you'll be out on the road every day, driving a manual company van stocked with products and visiting independent and convenience stores across your territory.
Your job is to sell the stock you are carrying directly into stores, grow the range of products they stock and identify every opportunity to increase sales and visibility.
You'll have clear sales targets and KPIs to achieve, which contribute towards your quarterly bonus, so you'll need to be motivated by results and enjoy the challenge of making a sale.
You'll also spend approximately one day per month working at a Cash & Carry activation, engaging with retailers and driving sales.
What will you be doing?
You'll visit retailers including Premier, Londis, SPAR, Best-one and independent convenience stores, as well as wholesale depots such as Bestway.
Over 90% of the stores you visit will already stock some of our products. Your role is to build on this by:
- Selling additional products and stock directly into retailers
- Growing the number and range of products stocked in each store
- Working towards clearly defined sales KPIs and targets
- Identifying sales opportunities and confidently asking for the sale
- Merchandising products and increasing their visibility in store
- Building strong relationships with store owners and key decision-makers
- Managing your own stock and driving a manual company van throughout your territory
- Taking ownership of your territory and using data to identify opportunities for growth
- Attending a Cash & Carry activation approximately once per month
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll have ownership of your territory and the freedom to make it a success, while being part of a friendly and collaborative team of Sales Executives, with ongoing support and guidance from your Field Manager.
Who are we looking for?
Sales experience isn't essential. We're much more interested in your attitude, energy and willingness to learn.
We welcome applications from people with customer-facing experience, graduates, FMCG or grocery retail backgrounds, previous convenience sales experience, or anyone who is keen to develop a career in field sales.
You'd enjoy this role if:
- You enjoy speaking to different people and aren't afraid to ask for the sale
- You're motivated by targets, KPIs and achieving results
- You have energy, enthusiasm and a positive attitude
- You're comfortable working independently and taking ownership of your day
- You enjoy building relationships with customers
