Customs Sales Executive

About S&A Customs Solutions
S&A Customs Solutions is a UK-based customs clearance and trade compliance business. We support importers and exporters across the UK, with a strong presence in the food sector, helping them navigate HMRC declarations, import duties, and post-Brexit trade requirements. We are growing and need a driven sales consultant to help us bring in new business.
The Role
This is a fully remote, self-employed independent contractor position. You will be responsible for finding UK businesses that import or export goods, opening conversations, and converting them into clients.

What You Will Do
• Research and build a list of target UK importers and exporters, particularly in food, retail, and manufacturing.
• Make outbound contact via phone, email, and LinkedIn to introduce our services and generate interest.
• Qualify new leads by understanding their current customs arrangements, volumes, and pain points.
• Book and conduct discovery calls with decision-makers.
• Present our services, handle objections, and close contracts.
• Manage follow-ups consistently.
• Hand over new clients to our operations team and support the onboarding process.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all activity, leads, and pipeline status in our CRM system.
• Hit agreed weekly and monthly targets for outreach volume, qualified leads, and contracts signed.

Performance Targets
You will be expected to meet clear, agreed targets. These will include a minimum number of outreach contacts per week, qualified leads generated per month, and new contracts signed per month. Targets will be set collaboratively at the start and reviewed regularly. This is a results-driven role. Consistent underperformance without justification will result in the contract being terminated.

What We Are Looking For

Essential:
• Strong spoken and written English.
• Proven experience in outbound sales, lead generation, or business development.
• Comfortable making cold calls and handling rejection professionally.
• Self-managed, organised, and able to work independently.
• Reliable, proactive, and motivated to hit targets.
• You must have your own equipment and a stable, reliable internet connection.

Highly Preferred:
• Background in UK customs clearance, freight forwarding, imports/exports, or logistics.
• Familiarity with how UK import declarations, commodity codes, or customs duty works.
• Experience selling to UK SMEs in food, retail, or manufacturing.
• Experience using a CRM system to manage leads and pipeline.

What We Offer
• Fixed weekly retainer, paid fortnightly.
• Performance-based commission per new client contract signed. Uncapped.
• Full training on UK customs processes and our service offering.
• Direct access to decision-makers with no management layers in the way.
• A growing business where strong performance will be recognised and rewarded.
