Are you currently in a manual horticulture role but looking to move into something more customer-focused, without losing touch with your plant knowledge? This could be your chance to step into a dynamic sales role while still doing what you love.

The Role

This is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about horticulture and interested in developing a career in sales. You'll be joining a thriving horticultural business based in Kent that supplies high-quality plants to wholesale nurseries and landscaping businesses.

Your day-to-day will focus on selling a wide range of plants over the phone to existing and prospective wholesale and landscaping clients. It's a predominantly office-based role, but there may be the occasional need to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in at the nursery. A hands-on attitude is definitely a bonus!

• Build relationships and manage key client accounts
• Proactively identify new business opportunities
• Deliver excellent customer service and satisfaction
• Still enjoy the world of plants-just in a new, customer-facing way
• Provide accurate quotes by email or telephone
• Process online orders using company retail system
• Liaise with customers over stock shortages or quality issues, offer compatible substitutes of in-stock lines where possible and order plants in when required
• Source stock for order fulfilment
• Submit orders for picking

About You

You're perfect for this role if you:

• Are currently in a manual labour role within horticulture but ready to take the next step
• Have a genuine interest in plants and gardening
• Are confident communicating over the phone and via email
• Love the idea of turning your plant passion into a people-focused career
• Have a horticultural qualification or proven experience in the horticultural industry
• Have a sales background
