Your mission? To introduce their premium snack and confectionery range - including exclusive European imports and a newly launched own-label brand - to a previously untapped market brimming with potential.

Specifically, this is a van-based sales role. So, each day you will start off at our client's Acton site in West London, collecting your stock for the day and your target list/route plan of potential clients.

Expertly promote the company's products, highlighting unique selling points and upselling opportunities

Van loading and route planning

Ensure full compliance with local traffic regulations, including congestion and emission zones

Meticulously handle cash transactions and reconcile sales records with pinpoint accuracy

The Ideal Candidate:

Proven field sales prowess in the FMCG/snacks & confectionery sector, or other FMCG products, ideally with van-based sales experience

Experience selling into the independent retail and convenience or petrol forecourt sector would be particularly advantageous.

Exceptional communication, negotiation, and persuasion abilities to captivate customers

Unflappable resilience and adaptability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment

Impeccable organisational skills to juggle multiple tasks with ease

Valid UK driving license and an understanding of navigating around London's streets

Experience in cash handling and a track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets

A genuine passion for building connections with diverse communities

Our client will offer a base salary of 28500 plus an initial guaranteed 5000 in bonus to get you started. You will also receive an additional performance/sales target based bonus plus other benefits.
