Does the opportunity to play an instrumental role in making our clients look exceptional sound right up your street, then read on……
Route 1 print is the UK's largest online trade printer. Fuelled by the desire to put the client at the heart of everything we do, our team is full of creative thinkers and game changers that simply go the extra mile on each and every client interaction. The business is geared up to deliver some exceptional growth over the next 12 months, as such, we thought now’s the time to give someone the rare opportunity to jump on board and play a significant part in supporting us in achieving it.
At Route 1 Print, we are the UK’s leading trade printer. While our 165,000 sq ft high-tech manufacturing hub processes over 10,000 trade orders each week, thousands of our existing partners are only buying a fraction of what we produce. That’s where you come in. We are looking for an ambitious, outbound sales specialist to drive product and category penetration across our existing and registered customer base. You will not be making cold calls to blind directories; every customer you contact already knows us, holds an active trade account, or has recently registered. Your goal is simple: uncover what they are buying elsewhere, introduce relevant new product lines, and grow our share of their print spend.
No prior print industry experience is needed. If you have the tenacity, pace, and telephone presence honed in a fast-paced outbound call centre environment, our dedicated training programme will teach you the technical details.
Route 1 Print puts significant emphasis on deploying the latest tech, enabling us to stay one step ahead of our competition. We were the first company in the world to invest in nanographic printing technology with the purchase of a Landa S10 (Wait until you see it, it's like a spaceship) we decided to do one better and get 2, with the latest S10P now in operation.
