Graduate Sales Executive, Sports Company, Surrey, £32,500 + Bonus, Immediate Start!

Our client, one of the UK's leading Sports Equipment Suppliers, are looking to recruit a Rugby/Cricket-loving University Graduate to join them as a Sales Executive. Based in a fantastic office in Surrey, this is a great opportunity for the right candidate!

Our client have been established for close to 25 years, and manufacture/distribute sporting equipment to clients from amateur to professional level. They are incredibly well-known in their field, and also operate across Europe and the US. Given their growth, they are actively seeking the perfect candidate to join them on a permanent basis, initially in a Sales Consultant capacity (to learn the business/customer base), before inheriting a portfolio of 300 B2B clients and managing each account. In a nutshell, your responsibilities will include:


- Handling warm inbound leads, understanding more about a client's query/need (offering an incredible customer experience!)
- Making contact with historic clients in order to re-engage/learn more about their current supplier solution
- Processing customer orders directly
- Building relationships with external clients in order to ensure we are in the correct position to convert once they are in need of supplies
- Updating all information on company CRM

Once you have learnt the customer base/business model and progressed into the Account Management role (c/12 months), your responsibilities will then be as follows:


- Overseeing a portfolio of 300 B2B clients
- Conducting regular business reviews to grow each relationship
- Working to growth/retention targets
- Offering a very consultative/bespoke solution to each client


In order to be considered for this position, it is ESSENTIAL that you have the following:


- Genuine interest/passion for either Rugby or Cricket (the two main sports the company specialise in!)
- University degree (or equivalent)
- Experience of working in some form of sales/targeted environment
- Fun, sociable personality
- Genuine desire/ambition to progress


In addition to a very competitive starting basic salary of £32,500 (which will increase once progressed into the Account Management role), our client are also offering the following:

- Additional £5,000 in bonuses in Year One, and £15,000 - £20,000 in Year Two (absolutely uncapped)
- Hybrid working (4 days a week in the office / 1 day a week working from home)
- Fantastic working hours: Monday - Friday (9.00am - 5.30pm)
- Free parking in their Surrey office (Send)


Our client are looking to move very quickly on this, so any interested candidate(s) are urged to apply at their earliest convenience!
