For field sales we don’t want the BDM’s/Reps sat in the office daily as they should be out 3 days a week ideally, but if not out on appointments they should be in the office not WFH 09.00 – 17.30. If you have any internal sales people I will also be interested in them.

 

We have a monthly and annual incentive program not commission, profit share, company car and pension. The basic tends to be higher in view of not having a traditional commission as selling a niche trade lane US to UK. Not W/W multimodal,  exports etc.

Thank you Christopher.

 

2 quick questions:

 

If daily in office, what are the office hours?

Is there a bonus or commission scheme and broadly what does that pay on success?

 

Thanks

 

Kind regards,

Back to back today.

 

We need a hungry hunter not a commercial type candidate who is looking for a challenge

 

No WFH, based within an hour of LHR

 

Might be easier for you send over salary expectations for any suitable candidates as we base on experience.

 

In an ideal world they have been selling the US to UK market
