Sales Specialist - Liverpool (Remote)

Job Description

Our community of 31 million users has saved more than 60 million meals from going to waste across 16 countries, but there’s still a lot more we want to achieve.

Globally, a third of food is wasted, and climate experts agree that combating food waste is one of the most important things we can do to address the climate crisis. For us, it’s simple: the bigger we get, the better placed we’ll be to make a huge difference. That means we’re looking for talented people with diverse skills and backgrounds to add to our rapidly growing team. That is where you come in: we’re looking for an exceptional Sales Specialist to join our remote team, working on the ground to help us grow our presence in Liverpool.

Your mission

Above all, in this role you'll be a hunter. You're hungry to build connections and grow our community of food waste warriors by signing up restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, bakeries, take aways, and local food retailers. You’re the first contact person of the store and will be doing a lot of cold acquisition, primarily on the phone, email and store visits (depending on restrictions). You will introduce potential partners to the world of Too Good To Go, train them how to use the app and advise them on finding the best possible solution for food waste.

What we need

• Confident relationship builders who can quickly connect and empathise with potential partners (restaurants, cafes and more)

• Proactive business development calling new prospects with the tenacity to succeed even when things get a little tough
• Team players, who embrace the overall purpose of Too Good To Go and are ready to embody our values to be passionate, growth-minded, resourceful and creative
• Independent executors, who can prioritise workload while communicating clearly and openly with their manager
• Consistent and impact-focused performance that hits individual and company targets 

What you should have

• At least 1 year of experience in a sales role or a role with sales-related skills, preferably in the food retail industry
• Experience cold-calling, demonstrating the resilience and motivation to achieve high call volumes
• A genuine passion for the mission
• High energy and self-motivation
• First class communication skills - from listening to presenting ideas and persuading 
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• Driven not only by individual performance but also by the desire to see your team succeed

Our values

• We fight together: Food waste is a big beast to fight. We can do it if we fight together as Waste Warriors with no ego. We believe in a #oneteam
