Here at Kent Blaxill, a brand-new position has become available for an Sales Account Manager to join our Colchester branch.

And the role…

As our Sales Account Manager, you will be responsible for new business sales from our website by following up on enquiries. You will identify, qualify and nurture leads, and be speaking with both existing and potential customers to maximise the opportunities available. You will be accountable for your own portfolio of customers and will look to develop and grow business from these customers by using your excellent communication and closing skills.

What we’re looking for…

Previous sales experience (over the telephone) is needed and you should be motivated, driven and enthusiastic. You will have exceptional communication skills and thrive in an environment where you are developing your customer base. You will be making outbound call to customers so a friendly yet professional telephone manner is essential. Knowledge of merchanting, particularly decorative materials is desirable, but not essential.

And in return…

We can offer you a competitive salary, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, a contributory pension scheme plus generous staff discount.
