They supply a wide range of exotics, natives and grasses into quality retail nurseries and have expanded and developed to include not just high quality plants to the retail trade, but also to landscapers, councils, and advanced growers. Their extensive client list includes major retailers Bunnings and Big W. 

Your new career awaits!

Humphris Nursery now has an exciting opportunity for a Sales and Account Administrator to join their team based at Mooroolbark on a full-time basis. 

Reporting to the National Sales Manager, you will be accountable for a portfolio of existing clients, as well as looking for opportunities to grow sales within a new client base. This is a hands on role that will see you managing and following orders from the customer through all areas of the production cycle, including communicating with internal departments to ensure stock is of the best quality and dispatched correctly and on time. 

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

  • Supporting the sales team with all on-site customer enquiries, phone calls and emails;
  • Acting as the first point of contact for your customer base including managing complaints regarding sales; deliveries; stock enquiries etc;
  • Ensuring all sales enquiries, orders and requests are processed in a timely and efficient manner; and
  • Assisting in the development and circulation of a weekly stock list to distribute to client base.

What you need to succeed

The team at Humphris love what they do and are looking for passionate, driven and enthusiastic people to join their team. If you have the right attitude, they will help you to develop excellent sales, commercial, and business skills that will set you up for future success. 

In return, they are looking for someone with KIPPA - keenness, intelligence, persistence and attitude - in bucketloads. You need to work hard, be a team player and be focused on delivering exceptional customer service to your client base to ensure repeat business, new clients and customer loyalty. 

You don't need any formal qualifications or industry experience, however any experience working in a B2B sales or business environment will be beneficial. As you will spend a lot of time liaising with customers on the phone, you must be an articulate and confident communicator with the ability and willingness to instigate telephone contact with key decision makers in order to close sales.

This role would be well-suited to someone who has 2-3 years experience in a B2B sales, customer service or account management role that is looking for a chance to learn and develop their career within an organisation in an exciting expansion phase.
