• Sales Strategy Execution: Develop and implement effective sales strategies for your accounts, working closely with customers to understand their evolving needs and delivering tailored, cost-effective solutions.
• Consultative Selling: Use your consultative sales approach to become a trusted advisor to your clients, offering solutions that improve their efficiency, reduce costs, and meet their production demands.
• New Business Development: Identify and pursue opportunities to expand your portfolio by acquiring new customers and growing existing relationships.
• Revenue Growth: Proactively drive revenue growth within your accounts, working to meet and exceed sales targets and expand market share.

• Target-Driven: Results-oriented and highly motivated, with a proven ability to meet and exceed sales targets, manage a high-value portfolio, and drive profitability.
• Industry Knowledge: While food industry experience is a plus, we're more focused on your ability to manage large accounts and use a consultative approach to meet customer needs.
• Team Player: While you'll be managing key accounts independently, you'll also work closely with internal teams to ensure smooth order fulfilment and customer satisfaction.

Why You'll Love Working Here:
