THE COMPANY
Our client is a professional Food organization, based in Antwerpen Belgium.
This client is an international, industrial producer of chocolate ingredients, fillings and coatings. If you're passionate about building new markets and looking to work in a non-hierarchic, challenging organisation, this might be the role for you!
ROLE DESCRIPTION
The key to fulfilling this role properly is: hunting, hunting, hunting!
The client is looking to increase their revenue and sales within the B2B segment, so you would be responsible for mapping the chocolate industry market and spotting opportunities. Seeing that this is a solitary role, you'll have sparring partners in the shape of higher management and the commercial director in Spain, but in essence, the challenge is yours alone. Of course there is also a given portfolio of clients, yet the best results you can book are in mapping the industry and cross-selling to the established foodservice market.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- mapping the b2b chocolate market
- spotting opportunities
- prioritising new clients
- cold and warm acquisition
- cross selling toward the foodservice
- sparring with commercial services in Spain
- developing your own market!
REQUIREMENTS
- Independent salesperson: meaning 5+ years of experience
- University degree or similar through experience
- Pioneer mentality
- Willing to travel 40% throughout Europe
- Fluent English and French. Dutch is not required
Please note: French is a must because of the existing clients!
OTHER
In turn, the client offers endless possibilities. They can teach you the technical ins and outs of the product. This allows you to build the client base in the way you see fit, within an organisation which stimulates personal responsibility, and of course also reap the financial benefits that follow.
