**Exclusive to Adore Recruitment**
Adore Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a well-established and growing business in the construction supply and distribution sector to recruit an ambitious Sales Manager ready to make a real impact.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a high-performing B2B sales professional who wants to take the next step into leadership — starting with hands-on sales and evolving into building and leading an internal sales team.
The Role
This is a pivotal position where you’ll be instrumental in developing a sales function from the ground up. You’ll begin by managing and growing existing customer accounts, reactivating dormant clients, and driving new business — before stepping into team leadership, with full autonomy to shape the team, tools, and culture.
You’ll be working directly with the senior leadership team and have a real voice in strategic decisions.
What You’ll Be Doing
Phase 1 – Build & Sell:
* Reignite relationships with lapsed customers and grow existing accounts
* Handle inbound and outbound B2B sales — calls, emails, quoting, and follow-ups
* Help shape sales processes, targets, and CRM usage
* Create scripts and set the framework for future sales hires
Phase 2 – Lead & Grow:
* Recruit, train, and manage a small internal sales team
* Lead daily performance meetings and track KPIs
* Support product launches, promotions, and pricing initiatives
* Drive team results in line with monthly targets and business goals
What We’re Looking For
* Proven B2B sales background (ideally in distribution, construction supply or similar)
* Experience managing customer accounts and converting quotes
* Commercially focused — you understand margins, not just volume
* Tech-savvy with CRMs, quoting systems, and Excel
* A proactive self-starter with natural leadership skills
Success Will Be Measured By
* Monthly GP performance (individual and team)
* Reactivated and retained accounts
* Increased average order value
* Team growth and contribution to business profitability
What’s On Offer
* £45,000-£50,000 base salary
* High commission opportunities with significant earning potential
* The chance to build your own team and shape a high-performing sales department
* Close collaboration with senior decision-makers in a supportive environment
* Long-term career progression into a senior commercial leadership role
