    Self-Employed Sales Executive – Steel Buildings About South West Steel Buildings South West Steel Buildings Ltd is a growing supplier of British-manufactured steel buildings, providing solutions for the agricultural, commercial and industrial sectors. We supply buildings ranging from agricultural storage buildings and workshops through to industrial units and larger commercial projects. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a motivated and commercially minded Self-Employed Sales Executive to generate new business and develop their own customer base. This is a self-employed, commission-only opportunity with no basic salary. Commission is uncapped and directly linked to sales generated. The Opportunity This role would suit an experienced salesperson who wants the freedom of self-employment combined with the earning potential of selling high-value products. You will be responsible for identifying and developing your own sales opportunities, with potential customers including: • Farmers and agricultural businesses, • Agricultural contractors, • Property developers, • Builders and construction companies, • Commercial property owners, • Industrial businesses, • Landowners and investors Projects can range from smaller workshops and storage buildings through to substantial agricultural and industrial developments. You don't necessarily need previous steel-building experience.

You may already have experience selling: • Agricultural machinery or equipment, • Building materials, • Roofing or cladding, • Steel or structural products, • Commercial construction products, • Industrial products, • Property or construction services However, attitude and sales ability are more important than having worked specifically within the steel-building industry.

The successful applicant will operate on a self-employed basis and will be responsible for their own tax, National Insurance and other obligations associated with self-employment.
