Area sales manager

Our client is a specialist provider of products used by the construction and civil engineering sector. A market leader in their industry, our client is now looking to expand their team by recruiting a Sales Manager to support a newly opened branch in the Swindon area. Ideally you rsquo;ll be located within reach of the Swindon branch but visits to the branch won rsquo;t need to be regular. Within this role you will be given full training on the companies products and once this is achieved you will be given the opportunity to manage your own time. Account Managers usually spend between 2-3 days a week on the road meeting clients and the other days working from home following up on quotations, planning and undertaking any administrative tasks associated with the role. Although this is a new territory for this business, our client is already part of some major framework agreements so a large proportion of this role will be to expand and utilise on already existing contracts. To apply for this role, you will have previous sales experience ideally with knowledge of selling to the construction and civil engineering sectors. A large proportion of this territories existing revenue is from infrastructure projects so experience in tendering for these projects would be advantageous. Our client is looking for someone tenacious who has a drive to develop new business. In return for the right candidate, our client is offering a competitive basic salary of GBP50,000, a bonus scheme, company car, pension scheme and access to a number of company benefits
