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.

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.
