Locally owned and trading since 2002, our team of 20 works with 120 suppliers to range more than 3,500 products. We are growing, and we want a senior salesperson who can open new doors and grow the accounts we already have.
The role
You will take over an established portfolio across Albany and our Great Southern runs (Kojonup, Katanning, Mount Barker, Cranbrook, Denmark and Walpole) and grow it, reporting directly to the CEO. You will work alongside our leadership team and lead the sales team including planning territory runs, a weekly sales meeting and clear weekly reporting.
You will:
- Win new customers across Albany and the Great Southern, with cafes, restaurants and pubs the first priority

- 40 customer visits a week
- 6 quotes a month to current prospective customers
- Team response to customer enquires within 24 hours
- A weekly review of portfolio sales, so you spot trends early and act on them

About you
- At least 2 years in foodservice, as a chef or in sales
- A track record of winning new business, not just managing existing accounts

- Someone chefs and owners trust, because you know their business and follow through
