Newbury, Office Based

Love sales, but not the idea of relentless cold calling?
This role offers the best of both worlds: account management, customer service and genuine sales opportunities, without being a high-volume call centre role.
You will have real customers to manage, opportunities to follow up, quotes to convert and accounts to develop. You will also have the chance to learn a specialist product range and become a trusted point of contact for customers across a wide range of industries.
The Company
We are working with a leading UK manufacturer, who due to business growth is looking to recruit a passionate sales and service professional.
With investment being made across the business and ambitious plans to increase sales, this is a great opportunity to join a company where your work will genuinely make an impact.
This is a down-to-earth, team-focused environment. It is not overly corporate, and the business is looking for someone who enjoys being part of a close team, is comfortable picking up the phone, and wants to grow with the company.
The Role
As an Internal Sales you will manage and grow a defined customer account base, working with existing customers, lapsed accounts and new prospects to generate sales, follow up opportunities and build long-term customer relationships.
You will be speaking with customers by phone and email, understanding their requirements, recommending suitable products, following up quotations and ensuring orders are processed smoothly.

*Manage a structured follow-up pipeline
*Work towards agreed sales targets and KPIs
*Collaborate with operations, logistics and technical colleagues to ensure smooth order fulfilment
