Sales Manager

Sales Manager
£50,000 - £60,000 + package
UK
Our client is a £10+ billion turnover, market-leading delivery service company who operate globally. They have branches all over the continent with over 200,000 employees and continue to expand as more businesses take advantage of their services in the European market. With 500 million consumers, the European market contains incredible opportunities. In order to maximise these opportunities, there now exists a vacancy for a Sales Manager to join the business, to lead and drive new business development opportunities throughout the United Kingdom.
Reporting to the Head of Sales, the principal focus of the role is sales growth across the UK. As a key member of the sales team, you will be proactively approaching new and existing customers across the region to focus on securing new business opportunities. Selling directly to the end consumer/business purchaser or indirectly through various sales channels, you will be assessing customer needs and suggesting appropriate products, services, and/or solutions. You will also be developing and delivering sales bids, presentations, and proposals and conducting product demonstrations as well as identifying and contacting prospective customers and building relationships to generate future sales and repeat business.
The successful candidate will be operating in a similar role at this level and will possess a proven track record and experience of the entire sales process in the freight forwarding industry, specifically within the UK. You have a proven and demonstrable ability to overachieve sales goals; you have previous budget & sales forecasting experience. Most crucially, you thrive and are energised by meeting and learning about other people - you are a natural connector, you put others at ease. You are a high intensity team player who thrives in a fast paced, dynamic environment and you possess a "can do" attitude and believe anything is possible with the right focus.
To Apply
This is an excellent opportunity in a challenging, fast paced, and dynamic business offering a challenging, dynamic, and progressive future. Interested parties should apply accordingly or contact Adam Arnold in the first instance for a confidential conversation. Contact details can be found via the Newman Stewart website.
