Sales Manager – New Business & Channel Development
Field-Based
Competitive Base Salary + Uncapped Commission + Car Allowanxe
An established and growing business within the flooring and interiors sector is looking for a commercially driven Sales Manager to build and develop its outbound new-business function.
This is a genuine new-business hunting role.
Rather than inheriting an existing portfolio, you’ll have the opportunity to identify new markets, open doors, build relationships and create new revenue streams from the ground up.
The opportunity
You’ll take ownership of proactive business development across a range of trade and commercial markets, including:
- Builders, developers and housebuilders
- Estate agents, housing associations and high-end letting agents
- Interior designers and the premium/design sector
- Commercial offices and fit-out businesses
- Schools, care homes and hotels
- Property maintenance and insurance reinstatement opportunities
- Trade and supply-only accounts
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 be responsible for building a strong pipeline, opening new accounts, following opportunities through to conversion and developing repeat business.
This is a highly autonomous, field-first role. Success will come from being out in the market – prospecting, networking, visiting potential clients and developing relationships.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a genuine new-business “hunter” who enjoys creating opportunities rather than simply managing an existing customer base.
You’ll ideally have:
- A proven track record in proactive B2B sales or business development
- Confidence prospecting and opening accounts from a standing start
- Strong commercial awareness, including an understanding of margin and pricing
- The ability to build relationships with decision-makers and convert opportunities
- A structured approach to pipeline management and CRM
- The drive and independence to build a new sales channel
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience within flooring, interiors, building materials, construction supply or a related trade environment is essential.
Why consider the role?
This is an opportunity to build something rather than simply inherit it.
You’ll have significant autonomy over the markets and relationships you develop, work closely with senior leadership and have the opportunity to make a visible impact on the growth of the business.
A performance-related uncapped commission structure will reward the new business you generate.
