We’re recruiting on behalf of a growing, well‑established SME that sell into retail. This is a hands‑on Sales Executive role best suited to someone who enjoys owning relationships, following up opportunities, and keeping sales activity moving. It’s not a high‑pressure cold sales role, instead, you’ll be working with **existing customers and inbound enquiries**, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks and that every opportunity is maximised.

If you’re organised, proactive, confident on the phone and thrive in a small, fast‑moving environment where your impact is visible every day, this role will suit you perfectly.

**The Role**

As Sales Executive, you’ll play a central role in managing key customer accounts while supporting the wider sales process from enquiry through to order.

Your responsibilities will include:

-   Managing and nurturing relationships with a portfolio of existing customers
-   Proactively calling existing customers to monitor activity, follow up on quotes and progress opportunities
-   Responding to inbound enquiries, qualifying requirements and gathering full details
-   Confidently picking up the phone to move conversations forward
-   Managing the sales inbox and ensuring timely, professional responses
-   Processing orders through to production stage
-   Maintaining accurate records in the CRM system, ensuring the sales pipeline is always up to date
-   Supporting sales reporting, order tracking and day‑to‑day sales administration
-   Booking meetings and providing wider sales support where required

This role is account‑management led, with administrative tasks forming part of the support function rather than the core focus.

**What We’re Looking For**

-   A confident and professional phone manner - you’re comfortable speaking to customers daily
-   Proven track record managing customers, sales pipelines or inbound enquiries
-   A proactive, reliable and disciplined approach with strong attendance and work ethic
-   Confidence using CRM systems and keeping accurate records
-   A positive, “get up and go” attitude - you see tasks through and take ownership

**Why Apply?**

-   You’ll join a small, close‑knit team where your contribution genuinely matters
-   You’ll be trusted with responsibility and visibility from day one
-   There is real potential progress as the team expands

If you’re looking for a sales role where you can build relationships, stay busy, add value and grow with a business that rewards commitment and drive, we’d love to hear from you.
