Job Description
Sales Executive
Arnold, Nottingham
£35,000 - £45,000 + Uncapped Commission
Permanent, Office-Based with Occasional Customer Visits
Macildowie are working with a client based in Arnold to recruit an ambitious Sales Executive for an exciting opportunity within a fast paced industry.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established, family-run business with an outstanding reputation, a loyal customer base and genuine plans for growth. Following the departure of a long-standing member of the team, the business is looking for someone who can bring fresh energy, win new customers and play a key role in driving the next stage of their commercial success.
With an established portfolio worth over £4 million and long-standing relationships with a range of well-known national organisations, you'll have the opportunity to develop new business while also identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.
The Role
This is a varied sales position combining new business development with account management. During your first six months, the focus will be on identifying and securing new customers before developing a balanced portfolio of both new and existing accounts.
Responsibilities include:
- Proactively generating new business opportunities through outbound sales activity and networking.
- Building strong relationships with prospective and existing customers.
- Managing the full sales process from initial enquiry through to closing the sale.
- Negotiating pricing and preparing quotations.
- Identifying opportunities to increase spend across existing accounts.
- Maintaining accurate customer records using Sage CRM.
- Working closely with the Managing Director and wider team to support continued business growth.
About You
We're looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of winning new business and building lasting customer relationships.
You'll ideally have:
- Proven experience within a B2B sales environment.
- A confident and proactive approach to business development.
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
- A stable employment history.
- The ambition to develop your career within a growing business.
- Experience within the print industry would be advantageous but is by no means essential.
- Experience selling into the sporting sector would also be beneficial, although candidates from any B2B background with the right attitude will be considered.
Above all, we're looking for someone who is motivated, energetic and genuinely wants to make an impact.
What's in it for you?
- £35,000 - £45,000 basic salary depending on experience.
- Uncapped commission.
- Genuine opportunity to influence the growth of the business.
- Clear progression opportunities, including the potential to move into a Sales Manager position.
- One-to-one support and product training.
- Laptop and mobile phone provided.
- On-site parking.
- 21 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
- Join a stable, family-run business where many employees have built long-term careers.
If you're looking for a role where your ideas will be valued, your success rewarded and your career can genuinely progress, we'd love to hear from you.
Please apply today or contact Macildowie for a confidential conversation about the opportunity.
