You're an eager sales representative looking for a fresh challenge, an individual who has excellent commercial awareness and a natural ability to build strong, successful relationships.

You have extensive knowledge of how to work with, advise and adapt to multiple trade clients. You really want the opportunity to liaise with clients not only from the comfort of your office, but face to face across the central belt of Scotland and occasionally beyond.

You want to be regarded as a valuable asset and fundamental to the success of the business and in return; be nurtured, invested in and protected. 

As a Trade Sales Representative, you'll be working with the Business Development team in a newly created position that will support with securing the revenue and margin for the trade sector; ensuring that customers are provided with a 'first in class' service from start to finish.

• Have regular engagement with clients and vendors to discuss and formulate estimates and resolve issues
• Provide customers with brochures and samples as and where appropriate 
• Work with manufacturing and planning, to ensure customer delivery dates are met
• Liaise with customers to gain feedback on projects
• Ensure information held on business CRM is up to date and accurate

Ideally, you will have:

• Excellent commercial awareness
• A natural ability to build strong and successful relationships
• Sales experience within a trade sector/industry

With substantiated business growth over the past few years, you'll be joining a passionate business who have been at the forefront of innovative developments and award-winning practices within the building and housing industry, creating energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products and systems, to help create negative minimal impact on the environment.

This is a business that recognises it's people and invests in their future.
