Internal / External Sales Representative

At AGB, we believe a quote isn't just a price on a page. It's an opportunity to win a customer.

We're looking for someone who understands that.

Someone who can read a plan, understand what the customer is trying to achieve, put together an accurate quote, and then pick up the phone, talk to the customer and help turn that opportunity into a sale.

As our Auckland business continues to grow, we're looking for a bright, energetic and commercially minded sales person who can work across both sides of sales, supporting customers and quoting internally, while also getting out into the market to meet customers face-to-face.

You'll become an important part of our Auckland sales team, working with customers from their initial enquiry through to helping secure the business.

One day you might be reading a kitchen plan and working through the details of a quote. The next you'll be sitting across the table from a kitchen company, talking about upcoming projects and how we can help them grow their business.

You'll follow up opportunities, build relationships with existing customers and look for new customers we should be doing business with.

We want someone who enjoys both sides of that.

Someone technically capable enough to understand the detail, but confident and personable enough to get out from behind the desk and build relationships.

You'll be responsible for:

• Preparing accurate and timely customer quotations.
• Reading and interpreting kitchen plans and technical specifications.
• Reviewing quotes and making sure the detail is right.
• Working directly with customers to understand exactly what they need.
• Following up quotes and opportunities rather than simply waiting for the customer to come back.
• Providing customers with product, pricing and technical support.
• Building strong relationships with our existing customers.
• Spending approximately 1–2 days per week out in the market meeting customers.
• Identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.
• Finding and developing new customer relationships.
• Maintaining a structured customer call cycle and keeping opportunities up to date in our CRM.
• Working closely with the wider Auckland team to deliver a great customer experience.

We think personality matters.

You might currently work in stone, kitchens, cabinetry, construction, manufacturing, building products or another technical sales environment.

We're less interested in your current job title than who you are, what you're capable of and where you want to go.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Technically switched on: You're comfortable looking at plans, measurements and technical information and working out what is actually required.Accuracy matters to you and you naturally notice the details others might miss.
• Commercially minded: You understand that sending a quote isn't the end of the job.
• You want to win it: You'll follow up, ask questions, understand what's important to the customer and look for the opportunity to turn a quote into a sale.
• Great with people: You genuinely enjoy dealing with customers. You're equally comfortable talking through the technical detail of a project over the phone or sitting down with a customer face-to-face and building a relationship.
• Proactive: You don't need someone constantly telling you what to do next.You pick up the phone. You follow things up. You ask the question. You look for the next opportunity.
• Organized: There will be multiple quotes, customers, projects and follow-ups happening at the same time.You'll need to keep on top of the detail without losing sight of the bigger sales opportunity.
• Positive and energetic: We're building a strong team in Auckland and we want someone who adds to it. You bring a good attitude, enjoy working with others and want to be part of a business that's moving forward.

Where can this role take you?

This is where we think the opportunity gets interesting.

Initially, you'll spend a good portion of your time learning our products, customers and quoting processes and becoming technically strong within the business.

As your knowledge and customer relationships develop, there is genuine opportunity to spend more time in the market, take ownership of customer accounts and become increasingly involved in business development. We're looking for someone who can grow alongside the Auckland business.
