Sales Administrator
Job Posted: 15 hours ago
Salary: £ 27,000 - 30,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Ashford, Kent
Expire in: a month
Job Description
Our Client is a fast-moving, team-oriented company based on the outskirts of Ashford. They supply high-quality products and services across the UK and internationally, priding themselves on being collaborative, detail-driven, and customer-focused. You will be part of a small team in a family-run business that values people who take ownership, think clearly under pressure, and have the people skills to handle all types of customers - even the occasional grumpy one!
The Role
This isn't your average admin job - attention to detail is crucial, and so is your ability to spot sales opportunities, ask smart questions, and work efficiently with both customers and colleagues.
What You'll Be Doing
Primary Focus - Sales Desk
- Responding to customer enquiries, creating quotes, and processing sales orders
- Organising UK deliveries and sample requests
- Advising clients on product options, specifications, and environmental factors
- Liaising with Area Managers and the Purchasing team to coordinate stock and pricing
- Conducting stock checks and recommending ancillary or complementary items
- Sourcing products to support customer project requirements
- Secondary Focus - Purchasing Desk (potential future transition)
- Processing supplier orders and managing project registrations
- Coordinating inbound goods and updating pricing information
- Responding to internal technical queries and managing supplier documents
- Maintaining the Vendor Library and sourcing alternatives where needed
What We're Looking For
Must-Haves:
- Exceptional attention to detail - if you don't naturally spot errors or inconsistencies, this won't be the right fit
- Strong communication skills - clear, friendly, and professional
- System literacy - comfortable navigating CRM/order systems, Excel and other Microsoft applications
- Sales-savvy mindset - we don't need or want pushy, but you do need to ask the right questions and spot opportunities
- Due to the countryside location (with plenty of on-site parking), candidates will need to have their own transport, as they are not easily accessible by public transport.
