5. Account planning and strategy: Develop account plans and strategies for key accounts, outlining objectives, actions, and timelines to maximize customer satisfaction and business growth. Collaborate with internal teams to align efforts and deliver on customer expectations.
6. New product launches: Collaborate with the product development team to introduce new food solutions and products tailored to the Retail and HORECA sectors. Plan and execute product launches in coordination with the various other teams.
7. Pricing and contract negotiations: Develop pricing strategies that maximize profitability while remaining competitive. Negotiate contracts and agreements with clients, ensuring mutually beneficial terms.
8. Training and support: Provide training, insight, and support to clients, ensuring they are well-versed in the benefits of our product range. Address any enquiries or issues promptly to maintain strong customer satisfaction.
9. Sales performance analysis: Track and analyse sales performance, identifying areas for improvement and implementing corrective actions as needed. Prepare regular sales reports and present updates to senior management.
10. Compliance and quality assurance: Ensure all activities comply with relevant industry standards, regulations, and company policies. Maintain the highest quality standards throughout the sales and distribution process.
11. Cross-functional collaboration: Collaborate with various internal teams, including marketing, logistics, and finance, to streamline operations and provide comprehensive support to clients.
