* Generating leads through your own network, consultants, industry bodies, and proactive outreach.
* Running the end-to-end sales process, from first contact to signed contract.
* Positioning ERP as a transformation tool that improves productivity and competitiveness.
* Presenting proposals that win buy-in from Directors and C-Suite executives.
* Partnering with pre-sales and delivery teams to hand over closed deals seamlessly.
What We’re Looking For
* A proven ERP/enterprise software salesperson, ideally with Epicor or comparable Tier 2 ERP experience.
* Background in discrete manufacturing or ETO.
* A hunter mentality – driven, competitive, and focused on results.
* Consultative sales skills with the ability to influence decision-makers at all levels.
* Strong professional network in business change or lean manufacturing (desirable).
* Willingness to travel UK-wide to close business.
What’s in It for You
* Competitive base salary + uncapped commission.
* Freedom to grow your own territory in a high-demand market.
* The chance to represent a leading ERP solution.
* Career development, training, and long-term progression opportunities.
