About DSL Group
DSL Group (Nottingham) Ltd is the UK's leading supplier of impulse promotional products to forecourts, convenience stores and independent retailers. Our reputation is built on exceptional customer service, reliable delivery, and long-lasting customer relationships. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a motivated Field Sales Representative to join our South Wales team.
The Role
This is far more than a traditional sales role. You'll be responsible for developing existing customer relationships through outstanding service, merchandising, and identifying opportunities to grow each account.
As the face of DSL in your territory, you'll manage your own schedule, visit customers across South East England, and ensure our products are always presented to the highest standard.
Key Responsibilities
- Visit existing customers on a planned call cycle
- Merchandise, replenish and rotate stock to maximise sales
- Maintain clean, well-presented product displays
- Collect returns and manage stock where required
- Identify opportunities to increase product range and sales within existing accounts
- Build strong, lasting relationships with store owners and colleagues
- Complete daily reporting using a company tablet
- Represent DSL professionally and deliver outstanding customer service at every visit
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate will be:
- Friendly, confident and customer-focused
- Self-motivated with excellent time management skills
- Comfortable working independently and managing their own territory
- Proactive, reliable and able to solve problems effectively
- Passionate about delivering excellent service while growing customer accounts
Experience within field sales, merchandising, FMCG, retail, convenience or account management would be an advantage, but strong customer service experience and the right attitude are equally important.
What We Offer
- £26,700 basic salary
- Uncapped commission and regular bonus opportunities
- Company van and fuel card
- Company phone and tablet
- 30 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
- Company pension
- Staff discounts
- Free product samples
- Ongoing training and career development
- Incentives and company social events
Why Join DSL Group?
At DSL, you'll become part of a supportive, ambitious team where your contribution is recognised and rewarded. We offer genuine autonomy, a varied working day, and the opportunity to build lasting relationships with customers while developing your career with a growing national business.
