  • Identify prospective customers and support the development of new accounts within the Netherlands.
  • Monitor account sales and margins, highlighting opportunities to improve performance.
  • Maintain accurate customer, sales and trading records, sharing information to support forecasting and planning.
  • Resolve customer queries and coordinate follow-up on delivery or quality issues, maintaining reliable service and strong relationships.
