Account Executive

Account Executive

This is a vibrant and busy company who are looking for hungry, “go getting” and self-motivated people to join their sales and account management team.

This is about developing existing business with your customers and having the ability to pick up on buying signals from them, as well as finding out about new projects and builds, as well as other key contacts within the business. This is about being proactive and building customer rapport, so that the customer thinks of you as their main supplier, rather than one of your competitors. Customer relationships are at the forefront of everything you do! You will be rewarded with a generous commission scheme and team bonuses, so this is a fantastic opportunity to make money!

The ideal person will have worked in a sales or business development environment previously, plus have strong B2B account management experience.

The aim of this role is to ensure the smooth running of your individual accounts maintaining customer satisfaction and retention at all times. You will have administrative support assisting you with your day-to-day duties; however, this is still a very heavily based admin role.
