The external sales person is responsible for winning new business in commercial and industrial markets by opening new accounts and reactivating quiet ones. They will manage their own travel and diary to meet with prospects while introducing additional products to existing customers.
Kirncroft Security Doors is the specialist in high-security doors for modular buildings and containers. We are now hiring an External Sales person whose primary job is to win new business in the wider commercial and industrial markets.
You will spend your time on the road opening new accounts and expanding into sectors beyond our core modular and container base. When you are already travelling for a new prospect you will also make the most of the trip by seeing other relevant customers in the area.
This is a proper external selling role. You will be measured on new meetings and new business, not on farming existing easy accounts, and the commission structure is built to reward exactly that.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
• Open new customers in commercial, industrial and related markets
• Reactivate accounts that have gone quiet
• Introduce additional products to existing customers
• Plan your own diary and travel, including overnight stays
• Log activity simply so we can track progress
WHAT YOU WILL NOT DO
• Enter orders into our internal system (internal sales handles that)
• Spend time in the office after a short initial onboarding
PACKAGE
• £45,000 base salary
• Uncapped commission at 1.75% of sales value (excluding VAT and delivery) on new customers, reactivated accounts that have gone quiet, and new products you introduce
• Company vehicle
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays
• Workplace pension (3% employer contribution)
• Health insurance
FIRST 90 DAYS
The role starts with a 3-month probation. You will have specific targets around new meetings and new-business activity. Meeting them confirms the position.
REQUIREMENTS
• Proven ability to generate and close your own business (industry experience in doors or modular is useful but not required)
• Confident, hungry and likeable
• Full UK driving licence
• Willing to travel extensively across the UK and stay out as needed
• England base preferred for practical cover
• Must have the legal right to work in the UK
Two days onboarding at our UK site, then you work remotely with direct access to the person you report to by video, phone or message whenever you need support.
We’d rather pay a strong closer more through commission than pay an average one a higher base to stand still. If that’s how you like to be measured, apply.
