Hi Boguslaw, thank you for your question!

Here at CCEP for a sales rep role we look for our candidates to demonstrate their skill set. Despite your experience in FMCG not being current, you should look to demonstrate your transferrable skills from different roles and situations.

For Sales Reps we look for candidates who:

Customer Service - demonstrate excellent customer service and inter-personal skills to create first class customer relationships

Plan - show that you can plan & prioritise for success

Solutions - take solution focused approaches to problems

Positive - show that you have an adaptable & positive mindset to change & customer needs

Resilience - in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment

I hope this helps - We look forward to your application!
