TELESALES EXECUTIVE
If you can sell on the phone, we want to hear from you.
Some people hate picking up the phone.
You don’t.
You know how to start a conversation, build rapport quickly, uncover an opportunity and turn a cold contact into a customer.
That’s exactly what we’re looking for.
Grant Foods is an independent Scottish food manufacturer with more than 100 years of heritage — and we’re growing.
We’re looking for a confident, energetic Telesales Executive to join our office-based sales team in Ayrshire and help us open doors, win new customers and grow existing accounts.
This isn’t about sitting waiting for the phone to ring.
You’ll be the one making it ring at the other end.
What You’ll Be Doing
Your job is simple:
Find opportunities. Start conversations. Win business.
You’ll be:
- Calling prospective customers and introducing Grant Foods
- Identifying new business opportunities
- Following up leads and enquiries
- Re-engaging lapsed customers
- Growing existing accounts
- Promoting products, offers and new launches
- Building relationships with customers over the phone
- Keeping on top of follow-ups — because most sales are won after the first conversation
- Maintaining a strong pipeline of opportunities
- Working closely with the wider sales team to turn conversations into orders
We’re Looking For Someone Who…
- Is genuinely confident on the telephone
- Enjoys speaking to new people
- Isn’t afraid of making outbound calls
- Can build rapport quickly
- Has a natural sales instinct
- Knows how to ask the right questions
- Can handle a “no” without taking it personally
- Is persistent without being pushy
- Is organised and relentless with follow-up
- Gets a buzz from winning new business
Previous telesales, business development, account management or customer service experience would be ideal.
Food industry experience is useful.
Being brilliant on the phone matters more.
This Role Is NOT For You If…
- You avoid making calls
- You’d rather send an email than pick up the phone
- You need customers to come to you
- You give up after one follow-up
- You’re uncomfortable working towards sales targets
We want someone who gets energy from the chase.
Someone who hears:
“We already have a supplier.”
…and thinks:
“Great. Let me give you a reason to consider another one.”
What We Offer
- Office-based role in Ayrshire
- A growing Scottish food business
- Real opportunity to win and develop your own accounts
- Direct access to decision makers
- Support from an experienced commercial team
- Performance-linked reward
- No corporate call-centre scripts
- No endless approval chains
- The freedom to actually sell
