* Conduct competitor analysis and track market dynamics to inform strategic sales decision-making.
* Take ownership of quarterly and annual sales targets and contribute to overall revenue growth.
* Build long-term partnerships with clients, ensuring strong project outcomes and repeat business.

You have:
* A strong track record in B2B sales or business development, ideally within retail fixtures, shelving, racking, shopfitting or related sectors.
