Aperçu — adapté à Ernest Gordon Recruitment Limited
Dear Hiring Manager,
Ernest Gordon's Business Development Manager opportunity in the chemicals and hygiene sector is precisely the field sales role I have been targeting. With a proven track record in door-to-door and cold calling across multi-sector B2B territories, and direct experience selling into hospitality and institutional clients, I am confident I can hit the ground running across the M60 corridor from day one.
My background in field sales has seen me manage territories of comparable geographic scope, building pipelines from cold contact through to retained accounts. I have consistently exceeded revenue targets by focusing on high-volume prospecting combined with structured account development — the same blend this role demands. I hold a full UK Driving Licence and am fully commutable to the Manchester, Leeds and South Chester patch.
