Are you a passionate sales professional looking to join one of Europe's largest manufacturers and distributors of professional hand tools and workshop equipment for the industrial sector, including the automotive aftermarket and MRO sectors?
Do you want to sell on quality and reputation rather than price? Do you want to promote products manufactured in Europe that are synonymous with quality?
If you have a passion for sales, excellent communication skills, and a target-driven mindset, this could be the perfect opportunity.
Role Overview
As the Area Sales Manager, you'll play a crucial role in expanding our client's customer base through new business development activities. Focusing on distributors and end users, you'll have the opportunity to shape the sales strategy and drive revenue growth.
Responsibilities
1. Cultivating strong relationships with the company's existing network of distributors.
2. Actively seeking out new business opportunities.
3. Working closely with established distributors to expand sales through strategic business development efforts.
4. Liaising with various commercial teams within the customer base, particularly focusing on medium to large end-user opportunities.
5. Collaborating with the UK & Ireland sales manager and the customer service team to ensure a seamless customer experience.
Qualifications
To excel in this role, relevant sales experience is essential. While automotive aftermarket or tools, workshop or garage equipment, MRO sector experience is preferred, it's not essential. Your proficiency in sales, negotiation, and communication skills will be critical in driving results. As a target-driven individual, you'll be motivated to achieve and exceed revenue targets.
Typical customers include the Hayley Group, Cromwell Tools, Rubix, as well as automotive, tools, fixings & fastening distributors.
Excellent IT skills, particularly in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, will be advantageous in managing your sales activities and presenting compelling proposals to clients. Your exceptional time-management and organisational skills, coupled with self-discipline, will allow you to juggle multiple priorities effectively.
As this role involves travel, a full UK driving license is required.
Compensation
In return for your dedication and contributions, the company offers a competitive salary of £45k per annum, bonus, along with a fully expensed hybrid or electric company car, pension plan, and additional benefits including 23 days holidays (increasing with service).

If you're ready to significantly impact sales and be part of this leading tools and garage equipment manufacturer, we want to hear from you.
