Sales Representative / Account Manager Queensland & Northern NSW | $90K Retainer + Commission | Established National Brand
I am delighted to be partnering with a highly respected, family-owned Australian business with more than 46 years of success in the schoolwear industry.
With a strong national presence and an exceptional reputation for quality, service and long-standing customer relationships, my client is looking to appoint experienced Sales Representatives / Account Managers to join their national sales team and manage established territories across Queensland and Northern NSW.
We are ideally looking to appoint across two territories:
- Brisbane & Northern Queensland
- Brisbane South, Gold Coast & Northern NSW
This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who genuinely loves being on the road, meeting customers, building relationships and taking ownership of their own territory.
The Opportunity You will step into an established and well-maintained territory of approximately 50–100 active customers, primarily school uniform shops, while also developing relationships with Business Managers and School Principals.
At its heart, this role is all about relationships.
My client has built its business on exceptional service, quality product and strong, long-term customer partnerships. We are therefore looking for someone who is warm, personable and engaging, but who also has the commercial drive to identify opportunities and grow the business.
You will spend the majority of your time out in the market, visiting customers face-to-face and managing a structured and well-planned call cycle.
Once established within the territory, new business development will form approximately 50% of the role,
so you need to be someone who enjoys opening doors as much as nurturing existing relationships.
There is also an interesting product development element to the position. You will work with customers on new uniform requirements and product ideas, so an understanding of clothing, fabrics, uniforms or apparel would certainly be advantageous.
Who I’m Looking For I would love to speak with candidates who have a successful background in field sales, territory management or account management and are accustomed to managing a sizeable customer base.
Experience within schoolwear, uniforms, apparel, clothing or a related industry would be highly regarded, however, I am equally interested in speaking with solid field sales professionals from other industries who have the right relationship-building skills and commercial approach.
You will need to be:
- An experienced and successful field sales professional
- A natural relationship builder who genuinely enjoys working with customers
- Highly organised and disciplined in managing a territory and call cycle
- Comfortable managing a high level of face-to-face customer appointments
- Proactive and confident when it comes to new business development
- Self-motivated and comfortable working autonomously
- Professional, confident and well presented
- Detail focused, particularly when working with product development and customer requirements
- Comfortable working with customer databases and sales information
- Proficient in Excel and Microsoft Word
This is not an office-based or retail sales position. I am specifically looking for someone who enjoys being out in their territory, getting in front of customers and developing meaningful, long-term relationships.
The Package The role offers a $90,000 annual retainer plus commission, including 5% commission on increases in annual sales.
The successful candidate will operate under their own ABN, work from a home-based office and provide their own vehicle, laptop and mobile phone.
My client will provide all garment samples and marketing materials, together with support for exhibitions, marketing initiatives and promotional activities.
Why I Love This Prospect For me, one of the most attractive aspects of this role is that you are not starting from scratch.
The territories are established, the customer relationships are strong and the brand is already extremely well recognised within its market.
There will also be a comprehensive handover from the current team, together with ongoing training and support, giving the successful person every opportunity to really understand the customers, products and territory.
My client has a warm, supportive and team-oriented culture and is genuinely passionate about its products and the service it provides.
If you are an experienced sales professional who loves people, product and being out in the market, and you are looking for the autonomy to really make a territory your own, I would love to hear from you.
