• Achieve and exceed sales targets, contributing directly to our continued trade growth.
• Collaborate across teams to ensure fast, seamless service and delivery to your trade customers.
• Stay on the front foot with market intelligence – keeping up with industry shifts, competitor activity, and emerging opportunities.
• Deliver compelling presentations, proposals, and quotes, and bring opportunities through to close.
• Provide timely reporting and insights to track progress and inform future strategy.
