What you'll do

One of the few retailers to grow exponentially over recent years, we're on a mission to grow our Trade Business to Business account portfolio. You'll be the key point of contact for Regional Accounts which means being responsible for 60 ongoing mid value Business Trade Customers. Building their spend level in line with set KPIs, you'll work closely with the Regional Managers and Store Managers in your geographical region to identify, seize and win new business opportunities. You'll be a combination of both hunter and farmer as you seek to grow revenue from existing customers and acquire new ones.
 
Day-to-day
 
Delivering customer centric improvement. You'll investigate and review our colleagues and customer process to identify issues and drive the solutions to ensure that the user experience is the best in class.

Problem Solving. You’ll quickly identify and react to longer term problems, looking at the root cause & working quickly to ensure that we mitigate the potential impact to our customers. 

Building great relationships.  

Strategic Thinking & Awareness.  You’ll keep an eye on Commercial opportunities, reviewing the market to understand how we can capitalise on any developments, reviewing the competition and making sure you're always one step ahead.


What you'll bring

B2B sales experience. You’ll have already proven yourself in a B2B field sales role and can demonstrate tangible success in a previous sales role. What you've sold is not important, how you sold is what we are interested in.
 
Results focused mentality. You thrive on the wins and plan your pipeline in advance. You're target conscious and always aware of what you need to do to get customers over the line.

Yourself. Bring your whole self to work and let your true personality shine through



What you'll get

You’ll find every opportunity to be yourself and to bring your personality and potential to work. Wherever you join us, and so many more opportunities to take your career in retail wherever you want – up the ladder, across the business or into another role in the Travis Perkins Group. And because we want to do our best for you, you’ll be supported all the way with training and development – including access to our very own Toolstation Academy programmes.

Plus, you'll receive some of the best benefits in retail. So, as well as 22 days’ holidays + Bank Holidays, company pension scheme and life assurance, we offer a bonus scheme, cycle to work scheme, save and buy as you earn, 20% discounts across all Travis Perkins companies, financial education and support, recognition awards and discounts at over 1000 other retailers.

Toolstation. The story so far.

We’re one of Britain’s fastest growing multi-channel retailers of tools, accessories and building supplies and an integral part of Travis Perkins plc. The trade, home improvers and self-builders all trust us to deliver a lot more than tools.
