How important is this role to the business?
Joining our friendly and hard working family as an Area Sales Representative will give you a fantastic opportunity to showcase your ability to sell and build relationships with customers as well as identifying and introducing new customers to Travis Perkins. You will be fundamental to the sales growth and performance of the branches you are working with and therefore the overall performance of the biggest builders’ merchants in the UK. Being part of the sales team you will play a vital role in our continued success of providing a first class service to the best builders in town and growing our share of the market. 

What experience do you need?
Bring your passion for sales, customer service, initiative, energy and enthusiasm - we’ll give you the knowledge you need of our industry and products through a brilliant induction with your regional team and the opportunity to gain a foundation degree-level External Sales qualification whilst you work. Previous experience within merchanting would be great, but if you’re new to our industry we’ll ensure you get what you need to excel in the role. Customers are at the heart of this role so ideally you’ll be used to building strong relationships with multiple customers and internal stakeholders, perhaps in a previous field-based role. You’ll be visiting customers, project sites and branches every day - there’s nothing more important than your safety whilst being out on the road so there’s one thing that you definitely need and that’s a full UK driving license with over a year’s driving experience.

What will I be doing?
No one day is the same in TP, but here are a few pointers:
  • With your learned knowledge of the products and services we offer, you will be responsible for the management of your own predetermined customer base and for coordinating all aspects of pricing and account development.
  • You will be responsible for maintaining local existing business and developing new business from a predetermined ledger of key accounts within a defined territory, you will regularly be out on the road meeting customers face-to-face building long-lasting relationships. 
  • You will be self driven to maximise and achieve sales and profit targets from your allocated existing customers and for new business that you seek out
  • Always looking for opportunities to improve relationships to develop profitable sales.
  • Our success is built on strong relationships with our colleagues, suppliers and customers so it’s essential you build strong relationships quickly.  
  • You will also be a key part of a wider network team, growing the sales success of the branches on your patch using your expertise to support them in winning in their local area.
  • Working with your Regional Sales Manager, you’ll identify your development needs and build a plan to make sure you're on top of your game and achieving the best you can.
