Sell something you believe in ….
Riverford is not your typical business and this is no typical sales role. Our organic veg boxes have become iconic over 30 years, embodying a business that has always trodden its own path (with ethics, sustainability and great food at its core). Our award winning sales teams come from all walks of life with a wide variety of previous experience. What unites them is personality, a passion for what we do and a talent for conversation.
For the love of the outdoors ….
Our sales reps travel in one of our famous ‘Live Life OnThe Veg’ vans with locations that are on your doorstep and others that will be worth the road trip, popping up at busy high streets, markets, local shows and huge foodie events. Once they’ve used their creative flair to set up fantastic looking stands, they’ll set about offering tasters and striking up conversations with anyone and everyone about how cooking and food shopping fit into their lives and where our wonderful seasonal produce could play a part.
Our warm, approachable and engaging team have a tremendous knowledge of our business and a ‘glass half full’ attitude, answering questions and overcoming objections to persuade the public to try and different and more sustainable way of shopping and cooking.
This role is far from a 9 to 5, with no two days the same. A reps’ working week is a minimum of 40 hours, 5 days over 7 including the majority of weekends across the year (key times for shows and potential to sign up a lot of new customers!). 33 days’ paid holiday include a two week break over the Festive period, a great time for our team to put their feet up and toast a successful year!
Perks of being a Riverford Face To Face Sales Representative ….
- Industry leading uncapped commission structure. Very achievable OTE of £35K
- You’ll also benefit from untaxed employee ownership profit share (a minimum of 10% of our profits are divided equally between all co-owners).
- 33 days’ paid holiday. Once probation is passed, we’ll also pay your average commission run rate as part of annual leave.
- Our new recruits start their journey with a trip to our beautiful Devon base, receiving extensive induction training over 3 days. Your development is then continued out in the field, with an abundance of support from our Sales Managers and Senior Reps.
- For those that love the outdoors, working with great people and taking in the atmosphere of buzzing locations and events – this is the role for you.
- Generous company pension scheme – we match any contributions up to 5%.
- Free health and wellbeing support.
- Many other co-owner benefits, including an abundance of free organic fruit and veg from our show stands and a 25% discount on your own Riverford account.
