A busy and fast paced business with great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career progression – join BSS as an Internal Sales Person and share our success and good times with a hard-working, friendly bunch of people.

Our “Learn and Earn” Apprenticeship Programmes (LEAP) will allow you to realise your full potential.

This is your opportunity to embark upon a rewarding career within a group that has 20+ industry leading businesses to its name. Whatever your passion, we have the training tools and expertise to develop your required skill set.

Our Apprenticeships are designed to support individuals with no prior knowledge of our industry or our business and give them the skills they need to become a really valued colleague. And it doesn’t have to end here, as we have a suite of Apprenticeship programmes from Level 2 to Level 7 that can support you to continue to develop your career with us, all the way up to the Boardroom.

The role:
You’ll  work  within  the  branch Sales Team, dealing directly with customers to maximise sales at every opportunity, working to  expand  our  customer base by helping to identify and develop new accounts.  On a day to day basis you will be handling customer orders and enquiries by phone and email on a frequent basis.  Most of our customers are regulars, so you will build up friendly relationships by giving great customer service which will encourage repeat business.  You will communicate with the team and suppliers to ensure a smooth transaction for the customer from start to finish, making sure their order is delivered on time and in full. You will also be involved in face to face customer service on the trade counter.

What we are looking for:
When it comes to your existing skills and experience, personality is the first thing we look for.  You will be given all the training and support needed to gain the technical skills. You will need to have great interpersonal skills, be quick to learn and used to working accurately at pace.
