Sales Manager - Components/Consumables
We're working with one of East Anglia's success stories on a new role to manage sales accounts, as well as contribute to the development of the sales strategy across the business.
It's a fantastic role for a technical salesperson, who enjoys building relationships with OEM's and distributors alike and somebody that enjoys international travel, as you will get the opportunity to travel the globe regularly (2-3 weeks per quarter).
This role will eventually lead to the management of the UK sales team and candidates of particular interest will be selling components/consumables into OEMs/distribution, or finished products that are of a highly technical nature.
As the customers will likely be specialists in their field, you will need the ability to really understand the range and target market so that you cans sell against competitors in the field - this will be taught, but a quick understanding of technical products is a must.
Whilst experience from a global sales role is preferred, candidates that are coming from international distributor management roles, or UK focused sales roles with distribution experience will also be considered.
This is very much a hunter role though, so any applicants must be willing to lead from the front on winning business from new clients/partners.
Overview of key duties:
- Develop annual sales strategy
- Strategise quarterly sales & travel plans.
- Identify growth opportunities through new distributors and OEM customers.
- Review individual customers to establish opportunities for added growth/revenue
- Reporting on success/plans to senior management
This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically minded senior salesperson with management experience, and happy to travel overseas to take a role at business with real growth potential.
The role will be office based in Ely 3 days per week, working remotely for 2 days so candidates must be able to travel to the Ely office. If this sounds like the next career move for you, please send through your CV and we can have a chat about the role.
