> Customer support, account management, sales and marketing position. There was a big focus on account management and managing key accounts within the designated territory I was assigned to cover (the North of England and the Midlands) and I was given full autonomy in how to manage my customers. I compiled a list of all the branches in my area and split them into key branches, branches with the highest turnover and branches with the most potential and then used this information when determining my 12 week schedule and prioritising my routes and visit frequencies. As well as managing the customers we already had, I would also find small independent merchants that were unknown to us and establish a relationship with them which would then allow me to generate and provide additional sales leads to relevant sales managers. > Other aspects of the role were to merchandise the plumbers merchants, increase brand and product awareness through promotion and networking, and completing daily, weekly and monthly reports on my results and competitor feedback. > A large part of my role was administrative; the main aspects included updating CRM with details of each visit I had conducted as well as pre-diarising my next month of calls, writing daily reports to keep track of changes in the market, ensuring the company contact database was updated daily, managing my own diary, route planning on a 12 week schedule, booking appointments to meet with branch managers and key accounts personnel, organising travel and accommodation arrangements, completing monthly expense claims and monthly company van mileage return figures. > A key purpose of my role was to make people aware of the EU Legislation that would be affecting the domestic circulator market and to conduct training seminars, technical sessions, presentations and events to educate plumbers and heating engineers on EuP ready pumps and how they are compliant in relation to the new legislation.
