Trade Account and Sales Coordinator (B2B)
Ensure all contact with Faction and our other brands exceeds our trade Partners’ expectations.
Your primary role is to proactively manage our customer relationships by working both with our sales team and directly with our wholesale accounts. You will be responsible for all Partner Success outside of North America, focusing on France. There will however, be significant crossover between all regions due to the small dynamic team here at Faction. You will be working closely with the Sales, Logistics and Marketing teams, reporting directly to our Global Head of Sales.
You will support our European sales team by creating and populating a sales pipeline for both in-season and pre-season orders, alongside the regional reps. Supporting these reps, and following up with all European stores to ensure we are maximising sales, and resolving any issues they may have. You will ensure your accounts’ orders are correctly entered into our system, and inform our partners of any changes to our production and delivery schedule.
You will also ensure all sales support communication goes through you for stores in Europe and that this communication is of the highest standard. This includes working with our Trade Marketing Lead to proof B2B newsletters and also keeping the communications on our B2B site up to date.
You will be responsible for training and onboarding any new stores and reps to our B2B platform, making sure it is being used to it's full potential. Tracking data and using reports to help our sales team grow across your regions.
You should also identify the best channels for B2B communications, ensure that these are set up and running correctly and that there are processes for all B2B interactions (phone, email, live chat etc). You will also make sure all documentation is written, and train any future team members in these processes.
To ensure all our Partner and B2B demos are run effectively, and meet our partners’ needs you will work alongside our Demo Events Organiser.
Finally, from your frequent conversations with our Partner stores you will make suggestions on how to improve their experience and to help them sell more. You will then test these by working with a core group of ‘key’ stores, then roll them out to the rest of our stores if successful.
