Business Development Manager – Wines
London On-Trade
Company:
A well established and growing family business with a strong premium Wine portfolio importing and distributing to the Trade. Based in London the company is experiencing steady growth and needs to add an experienced Wine Sales person to the team who will be instrumental in delivering further growth.
You will join a small dedicated team and report directly to the owner of the business.
Target Customers:
Hotels, Restaurants, Clubs, Catering and other Hospitality and Leisure sectors
Nature of the role:
This is essentially a New Business Development role and will require someone with experience in identifying, targeting and developing new Accounts and developing strong customer relationships.
It will initially involve a lot of ground work to generate appointments and win business but as the role develops it will become more Account Management focused. If the successful candidate has contacts that will obviously be an advantage.
The Role

You will need to maximise your time identifying contacts, arranging appointments and developing a strong network.
You will essentially “self-manage” your time & diary compiling monthly reports for the business.
As this is exclusively “On-Trade” you may experience some evening work and therefore must be flexible on working hours.
The company delivers direct from their own Warehouse and can offer flexible customer solutions and excellent customer service.
Working within the M25 and very much focused on Central London, you will work from a home base within the region.
Organise tastings and other events to drive Sales and support customers in growing their Wine Sales.
You will have a good degree of autonomy and be able to put your personal stamp on the role
