My client has been established for over 25 years and are Made In Britain manufacturers of lighting connection and control products for the commercial building sector. They have a reputation for high quality product and are proud of their comprehensive portfolio. Supplying projects such as schools, universities, hospitals, offices, airports, hotels, retail, as well as other commercial properties, they have an enviable track record up and down the country. They are now looking for a new Regional Sales Manager to cover the North West region. You will be introducing their range of solutions and products into consultants, distributors and local authorities and will ideally have a proven track record of selling similar product or working in a related field. They are not a massive business and have around 50 staff, but they are very profitable and have a strong family culture with all employees well supported and looked after. Targets will be fully discussed and agreed and kept realistic so as to ensure they are achievable and bonuses can be earned. A Lighting background would be advantageous, but not essential as full training will be provided. Other technical backgrounds will be considered and any engineering or electrical knowledge would be a bonus as this will assist you in the role in a number of different ways.

Our client are a well-established manufacturer of lighting and many other electrical solutions, turning over more than 500m per year and currently has over 2,000 employees worldwide.

In order to achieve these goals, the company are now looking to add another regional sales manager to their team, covering the South East Region. You will be targeting both independent and national electrical wholesalers in the region, as well as electrical contractors. You will be a natural relationship builder and have the persistence and tenacity to win orders as well as longer-term projects. The company is not looking for a door-to-door sales person, but someone who can sell consultatively and represent the company in a professional manner at all times, winning business through building trust and being able to demonstrate value. You will ideally come from an electrical sales background and have some sort of proven track record in achieving targets, whether this is from internal sales or out in the field, but other backgrounds and experience will also be considered. All training and support will be provided and there is some flexibility in terms of working from home and in the office. Targets will be kept realistic and achievable with an understanding that it can take several months to build a pipeline of business. This will be a challenging sales role requiring someone with a strong work ethic as well as efficient organisational skills. In return you will be rewarded with a competitive basic salary and generous package, including car allowance and a lucrative bonus scheme and pension. In terms of future career progression, the company is huge and there will inevitably be opportunities to develop over time. Does this sound like you?
