    Self-Employed B2B Sales Partner - Artisan Bakery Wholesale Growth London / Flexible / Commission-Only / Part-Time or Freelance We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated B2B sales partner to help grow wholesale accounts for one of our clients, an artisan bakery producing premium sourdough loaves and sourdough bagels. This role is ideal for someone who already understands hospitality, food service, catering, cafés, coffee shops, hotels, restaurants or independent retail - and wants to earn recurring commission by introducing a genuinely strong product to businesses that already buy bread and bakery products. This is a self-employed, commission-only opportunity, so we are looking for someone who can work independently, manage their own time, follow up properly, and create results without day-to-day supervision. The opportunity Our client supplies slow-fermented sourdough loaves and sourdough bagels to businesses that care about quality, presentation and better ingredients. Your role will be to introduce the range to businesses such as: • coffee shops, • cafés, • brunch spots, • sandwich shops, • hotels, • caterers, • delis, • restaurants, • office food suppliers, • event companies, • premium grocery / food retailers You will be offering businesses the chance to order a tasting box for £15 including delivery, so they can try the products before deciding whether to start a regular wholesale relationship. What you will be doing You will be responsible for finding and approaching suitable businesses, explaining the offer, arranging tasting box enquiries, following up after samples, and helping turn interested prospects into regular wholesale customers. This may include: • visiting cafés, restaurants, hotels and food businesses in person, • calling business owners, managers and buyers, • sending follow-up emails and WhatsApp messages, • introducing our client’s wholesale range, • encouraging prospects to order a tasting box, • following up after tasting boxes are received, • helping move qualified prospects toward their first regular order, • keeping clear notes on every lead and conversation You will be provided with sales materials, including scripts, email templates, product information, pricing guidance and digital marketing materials. Commission structure This is a commission-only self-employed role. For every new business you bring in that becomes a paying wholesale customer, you will receive: 5% of the paid order value for months 1–12 2.5% of the paid order value for months 13–24 Commission is paid on confirmed paid wholesale orders. There is no commission on tasting boxes, as these are offered at production price as a conversion tool. However, lead ownership is protected for 120 days after either: • a paid tasting box request, or, • a qualified meeting / serious sales conversation This means that if you create a real opportunity and the business later becomes a customer within that protected period, the lead remains attributed to you. Example earning potential If you sign one business that orders regularly, your commission continues for up to 24 months. A small café, caterer or hotel may only start with modest weekly orders, but several regular accounts can build into meaningful recurring income. This opportunity is best suited to someone who can build a small portfolio of regular wholesale clients rather than someone looking for one-off sales only. Who this is for We are looking for someone who is: • experienced in B2B sales, hospitality sales, food service, catering, wholesale, field sales or account development, • confident speaking with business owners, managers, chefs and buyers, • professional, reliable and well-presented, • comfortable working independently, • good at following up without being pushy, • able to manage their own time and pipeline, • commercially minded and motivated by commission, • ideally already connected to hospitality, food, catering or retail businesses in London This is not a trainee role. We are looking for someone who can take the opportunity seriously and create results with minimal supervision. What we provide You will receive: • product information, • wholesale pricing guidance, • approved sales scripts, • email and WhatsApp templates, • digital flipbook / presentation materials, • tasting box process, • support with qualified prospects, • clear commission tracking, • guidance on target areas and ideal customer types Important details This is a self-employed commission-only opportunity. You will not be required to work fixed hours. You can work part-time, around other commitments, or in your free time, as long as you can communicate professionally and follow up properly. You will be responsible for your own tax and self-employed status. How to apply Please send a short message explaining: 1. Your sales experience, 2. Any hospitality, food, catering, café, hotel or restaurant contacts you already have, 3. Which London areas you would be comfortable covering, 4. Why you think you would be good at selling artisan bakery products to businesses Please also include your CV or LinkedIn profile if available. We are looking for someone professional, independent and serious about building long-term recurring commission from quality wholesale accounts.
