A large multi-faceted FMCG, frozen food company focusing on frozen meat, chicken, vegetables, etc seeks confident, assertive, friendly Internal sales trader who can build strong relationships and become the ‘first point of call’ selling to wholesalers and independent butcheries, etc.

A warm people’s person with the ability to connect with existing clients and find new business over the telephone would enjoy this position and must have the “worry molecule” and not rest until the problem is solved and the customer is happy.

Although most of the job will be office based, a driver’s license is necessary to visit clients weekly.  Previous FMCG experience is preferred, computer literate, team player, understand market intelligence, ability to liaise with various departments and someone not scared of administration, assisting debtors or passing credit.

This leisurely environment based on the upper highway hosts a fun and vibrant sales team to add value to this very fast-growing organisation.
