Are you a talented sales professional with proven success in the electrical industry?
Interested in a financially secure and stable employer that didn’t furlough any staff in Covid, nor did it make any redundancies?
Why This Company?
With a multimillion-pound turnover and advanced manufacturing capabilities, my client has become a leading supplier of electrical solutions for a number of key and critical applications.
Following consecutive record-breaking sales years, coupled with the explosive growth in the data centre and automated warehousing industry, my client wishes to bolster its efforts within these markets by recruiting a sector specialist to take a dedicated and focussed approach to develop sales.
About The Role
Reporting to the Sales Director, you will be responsible for:
- Spending around 1-3 days per week with customers and the remaining time based from a home office.
- Forging solid relationships on new automated warehousing and data centre development projects with key decision-makers, including Electrical Design Engineers, Program Leaders, Electrical Rollout Specialists and the Heads of Electrical Deployment.
- Operating in a 75% new and 25% existing sales role.
- Acting as the UK segment leader for these markets.
- Understanding customer project needs and providing guidance and input on the best-proposed solution.
- Handling both technical and commercial enquiries from your customer base. (Inhouse technical support team available)
- Attending industry events, exhibitions and shows.
About You
It is essential you possess electrical sales experience; this could be within, but not limited to, automation, switchgear, power infrastructure, circuit protection, conveyors, motor control, drives, Industrial IOT, PLC’s etc.
Ideally, you will possess a minimum of 2-3 years’ experience in an external sales role. However, my client is willing to consider Internal Sales Engineers who are ready to take that step into a field-based position.
A HNC, HND, or Degree in an Engineering discipline would be advantageous but not essential.
Other key skills needed:
- Self-motivation and comfortable with longer sales cycles associated with project-based selling
- Comfortable opening doors at design level, not just procurement
- Hunter mentality with a desire to identify new prospects
- Able to operate autonomously
- Excellent communication skills with a consultative sales approach
- Willingness to travel
- Ability to listen and prepared to learn
- Full driving license
