Sales Executive
Full Job Posting
Ready to take your retail or customer experience out on the road?
If you’re currently working in retail, hospitality, or customer service and looking for a career step with more freedom, higher earning potential, and true variety, this is your opportunity.
As a Field Sales Executive , you’ll be the face of Nestlé across your local territory, helping independent convenience stores stock and showcase some of the UK’s most loved brands.. including KitKat, Aero, Yorkie, and Smarties .
Never worked in field sales before? Don't worry. If you know how a shop floor works, love chatting to people, and bring plenty of energy, we’ll teach you the rest!
What Does a Field Sales Executive Actually Do?
Instead of being based in one store, you’ll manage your own territory, driving a company car to visit local retail partners every day. Your goal? To help store owners sell more chocolate and treats while making Nestlé products look irresistible on the shelf.
On a day-to-day basis, you will:
Build Great Relationships: Visit independent store owners, chat through their business needs, and become their trusted expert for Nestlé products.
Drive Sales & Availability: Make sure stores never run out of bestsellers like KitKat and Aero, introduce new product lines, and pitch promotional deals.
Create Eye-Catching Displays: Set up point-of-sale stands, organize promotional displays, and place stock where shoppers are most likely to buy it.
Manage Stock: Collect and move stock from local Cash & Carry depots to supply retailers directly (this involves some light manual handling and stocking).
Plan Your Own Day: Map out your visits efficiently across Sutton and surrounding areas to get the most out of your week.
Why You’ll Love This Role
Freedom & Ownership: No micromanagement. You run your own daily schedule and manage your own territory.
Company Car & Fuel Card: Complete access to a work vehicle with business fuel covered.
Work-Life Balance: Standard Monday to Friday hours. Enjoy every weekend off.
A Fast Track to Sales: Gain hands-on sales experience backed by full training, ongoing coaching, and clear career progression pathways within Nestlé and Powerforce.
Who We’re Looking For
You do not need years of field sales experience to succeed here. We care far more about your drive, attitude, and communication skills.
This role is ideal for you if you are:
A People Person: Confident, friendly, and comfortable starting conversations with store managers and owners.
Self-Motivated & Organised: Able to manage your time well and stay focused while working independently out on the road.
Eager to Learn: Excited to learn sales techniques, brand strategies, and how the retail sector works behind the scenes.
Backgrounds that fit well: Experience in retail, supermarkets, hospitality, customer service, merchandising, or promotions is a huge plus!
Requirements: A valid UK driver’s license (or equivalent) and comfortable with physical aspects like loading/unloading stock from the car and Cash & Carry depots.
