This Technical Sales role is an 80% account management and 20% new business generation role, developing business with an existing account base, following up and qualifying leads, and building your own customer base through canvassing our CRM system. We have an excellent technical and commercial support system – but no micromanagement! Weekly Teams meetings with your Line Manager are typical, with more detailed monthly 1 to 1’s. Covering the UK, Eire and Nordic regions – you’ll be working alongside our distribution partners (and often driving their activity). You will book meetings with end users to build relationships and promote products and applications of our full range of industrial components. You’ll also support various distribution partners with training and technical guidance on how to sell and provide customer service to their (our) customers. You’ll manage your diary, book meetings around a geography to make best use of your time logistically. This will include staying away on fully expensed visit loops (hotels, meals, travel etc), but you’re in charge of your own schedule. Use SAP (CRM) to record activity. Working against sales targets (often on particular products), call KPI’s, and be able to demonstrate a sales pipeline and answer where your turnover is coming from.
