Your Role: Field Sales Executive
Joining our Newcastle site as a Field Sales Executive, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving sales growth across the stipulated region. You’ll inherit a well-established customer base, managing key accounts and conducting quarterly reviews and pricing negotiations. But that’s just half the story - your success will also come from securing new business, with an annual target of circa £200K. If you love building relationships, uncovering opportunities, and closing deals, this role will provide the perfect platform to showcase your sales expertise.

What You’ll Be Doing

Driving sales growth by managing and expanding existing accounts while securing new business opportunities.
Building strong relationships with key decision-makers, identifying needs, and presenting tailored packaging solutions.
Managing a full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing deals and ensuring customer satisfaction.
Collaborating with internal teams to maximise opportunities and deliver exceptional service.
Using CRM tools (MS Dynamics) to track leads, sales activity, and pipeline progress.

What We’re Looking For
You’ll be an experienced sales professional, confident in both account management and new business development. You thrive in a target-driven environment, possess strong negotiation skills, and can demonstrate a consultative sales approach. Specifically, we’d love to see:

12+ months in a B2B sales role, managing existing accounts and winning new business.
A location within or close to the Newcastle site/stipulated territory
A valid UK driving licence and willingness to travel within the territory.
Proven success in B2B sales, selling tangible products using a consultative approach.
Strong negotiation, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills.
Self-motivation, resilience, and the ability to work autonomously.
IT proficiency, including CRM and Microsoft Office tools.

Experience in packaging, packaging design, or related industries (advantageous)
Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics CRM (advantageous)

Why Choose Macfarlane
We reward success with a competitive salary and lucrative commission structure. Plus, we offer a fantastic benefits package, including:

25 days holiday (rising to 27 with service) + bank holidays
Flexible benefits, including enhanced pension and life assurance
A choice of company car or cash allowance (including electric options)
Wellbeing and employee assistance programs
