This isn’t a role where you maintain a neat little patch of accounts. It’s one where you get to build the sales function alongside the Head of Sales, and show what a business with a great reputation can do when someone goes out and actively sells for it.
Our client is an established UK manufacturer of technical products for industrial customers, in the UK and internationally. The business has traditionally grown through its reputation, repeat business and strong customer relationships. Now, it is investing in a more proactive approach to sales and business development. That means a huge amount of potential in existing accounts and in markets they’ve barely approached.
The timing is good. There’s a lot of new product development in the pipeline, so you’ll be taking new products to customers who already know and trust the business. You’ll be close to the people who make the products, and close to operations and customer service, so you’ll see an enquiry through from the first conversation to the order leaving the door. You don’t need to know the product range already. If you’re a commercially minded salesperson who likes learning technical products properly, you’ll be given the chance to become the person customers call when they need the right answer.
