About the Position
Professionals Nord is seeking a sales representative for Sonepar's operations in Gävle on their behalf.
Sonepar is one of Sweden's leading electrical wholesalers and offers products and solutions within electrical, lighting, automation, telecom, data, and security. The company is part of the global Sonepar group and works with everything from small businesses to large international corporations.
As a sales representative, you will be an important part of the team in Gävle. The role combines customer service and sales in-store with actively working with both new and existing customers. You will build relationships, identify business opportunities, and actively work with selected customers to develop collaboration and sales.
You don't need prior experience from the electrical industry. What matters most is that you enjoy customer contact, have a clear drive in sales, and are curious to learn more about Sonepar's products and customers' operations.
Job Responsibilities
In this role, you will work both with customers visiting the store and take initiative in establishing new customer contacts. You are expected to be curious about the customer's business, understand their needs, and see opportunities for both better solutions and new business.
Your job responsibilities include:
Work actively with sales to both new and existing customers
Participate in customer meetings and actively work with selected customers
Take your own initiative in customer contact and follow up on business opportunities
Understand the customer's needs and help find the right products and solutions
Handle orders and quotes
Collaborate with account managers to develop customer relationships and business
Provide professional service to customers in-store, by phone, and email

We Are Looking for You
You have previous experience in service, sales, or customer contact. You thrive in a role where you not only serve incoming customers but also take initiative to establish contact and actively work to create and develop business. You have good computer skills and speak and write Swedish well.
If you have experience from electrical, technical, B2B sales, proactive sales, order handling, or quote work, we see that as a merit, but it is not a requirement.
We believe your personal qualities are crucial to how well you will thrive in this role. You are social and relationship-building and feel comfortable contacting both new and existing customers. You have your own drive, see opportunities, and don't always wait for the customer to come to you. At the same time, you are responsive and solution-oriented and understand that good sales begins with understanding the customer's needs. You thrive working toward goals and are motivated by developing both customer relationships and business together with your colleagues.
