Location: Derby | Salary: £37,500-£40,000 + Uncapped Commission | OTE: £50,000+ (genuinely achievable)

About the Opportunity

We're an established, profitable health and safety products business with ambitious growth plans. We already work with some excellent blue-chip clients, and now we need an experienced field sales professional to help us expand our market position and become the go-to supplier in our sector.

This is a genuine opportunity for the right person. We promote from within, provide unrivalled support, and want our people to succeed - which is why our commission is uncapped and our training is ongoing.

The Role

You'll manage your own territory, selling innovative health and safety products directly to end users across, but not limited to, construction, manufacturing, horticulture, and grounds maintenance sectors. This is a consultative sales role - you'll need to understand client challenges through questions and, using the knowledge you have gained, demonstrate how our solutions solve their problems.

This is a field-based role, not solely a desk job. You'll also be out meeting clients, conducting site visits (sometimes requiring full PPE on construction or manufacturing sites), and building relationships face-to-face through a mix of planned meetings and proactive prospecting.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• Finding and winning new customers across multiple industries
• Building a strong pipeline from both your own prospecting and marketing-generated leads
• Managing existing client relationships while driving new business
• Maintaining accurate CRM records using our Hubspot CRM system
• Territory management with some early starts, late finishes, and occasional nights away
• Occasional exhibition attendance where we will be showing our system

• Salary: £37,500 - £40,000
• OTE: £50,000+ (realistic and uncapped)
• Holiday: 24 days plus bank holidays
• Car Allowance: Mileage provided
• Pension: Company scheme
• Healthcare: Opportunity to join the company BUPA scheme
• Perks: Outstanding on-site facilities including gym, pool table, table tennis, and subsidised canteen
• Kit: Company phone, laptop demonstration pack etc
• Training: Full product, market, and regulatory training with ongoing support

What You'll Need

Essential:

• Proven B2B field sales experience with a track record of managing your own territory
• Tenacity in making prospecting phone calls
• Experience visiting prospects, conducting your own prospecting, and converting leads to sales
• Comfortable with both hunting new business and farming existing accounts
• Clean UK driving licence
• Willingness to work flexibly (this isn't a standard 9-5 role)

Desirable:

• Experience selling into construction, manufacturing, horticulture, or grounds maintenance
• Knowledge of health and safety products or regulations
• Familiarity with hand tools and equipment
• Experience dealing with businesses from SMEs to large multinationals

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

Success here means taking ownership, being proactive, and having genuine curiosity about the products and the problems they solve. You'll need to ask questions, seek out resources, and take initiative to understand regulations and products at a deeper level, this will mean some time investing in your knowledge development. We're looking for someone who's self-motivated, resilient, and wants to reap the rewards of their own hard work.
