Sales Manager
What does your role entail?
As Sales Manager, you are mainly involved in the short-term trade of our exclusive flavour tomatoes.
You focus mainly on existing wholesale partners and contact with them is mainly by telephone. You also take the time to visit them in person.
The good relationship with our partners ensures a long-term relationship.
We offer you the chance to work for the most innovative total specialist in tomatoes, from cultivation to retail.
What might your day look like?
You are there early, because early in the morning the daily sales meeting starts. With a cup of coffee within reach, you discuss stocks with your colleagues: How is the quality, are there any shortages, how are the tomatoes ageing and what will happen to prices. No day is the same. You also share market information so everyone knows what to do.
After establishing what the objectives for today and the coming days will be, you will approach your relations. What do they need today and in the coming days, what can you interest them with and how do they see the market developing. You ensure good order entry and after-sales.
In the afternoon, you go through your administrative affairs. Is everything properly recorded in the system? You prepare for the next day. At the end of the day, you plan a visit to your most important contacts, because you want to meet them in person! Great, you can immediately make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon! And before you know it, your day is over too.
