Job Description
Business Development Manager - Home/Field-based – Plymouth
Up to £38,000 + uncapped bonus potential, company car or car allowance & home-based contract
Here at Brakes, we’ve got ambitious growth plans so if you want to be a part shaping the future of our independent business, joining a team at the cutting edge of foodservice trends then we have a fantastic opportunity for a Business Development Manager to join our Independent Sales Team.
What you’ll be doing:
- Scope out, hunt, and seal the deal with fresh, independent new business opportunities whilst keeping that pipeline flowing
- Cultivate killer connections with independent players in the local food market using your innate curiosity for all things foodie
- Craft bespoke culinary propositions to help our customers save precious time and money
- Serve up some tasty growth, hitting those profit targets and being rewarded accordingly
- Welcome aboard new clients with style and finesse, making sure they feel right at home with your Area Sales Manager buddy
- Keep an eye on the competition and independent market trends, so you can dish out the hottest solutions and insights from the world's biggest food wholesaler
- Crush those market goals like a seasoned foodie conquering a buffet!
What we are looking for:
- Ideally, you’ll come from a similar background to Field Sales, however this isn’t essential.
- We are looking for people who have a commercial mindset, who have the drive and ambition to make a difference to the business by delivering against targets.
- The customer will be at heart of everything you do, so being confident being out on the field is essential.
- We have a great induction programme where we will teach you everything you need to know about our products and the business, so although food service experience/ hospitality would be advantageous, you’ll get the training you need to succeed.
- We’re not just looking for a good fit, we want people who help to make us even better.
- We’re passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that celebrates and values diversity.
- We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to define it. Bring your whole self to work. #BelongAtBrakes.
