Account Manager
West Midlands territory covering SY DY TF WV WS
This is a sales role for someone who wants to build something rather than sit behind a desk polishing product knowledge. The focus here is on hunger determination and the ability to win business. Technical depth can be taught. Drive cannot.
You will be managing and developing a defined territory within the electrical and industrial automation space. There is an existing customer base in place but the expectation is that you will grow it further through new business activity relationship building and consistent field presence. This role is about getting out in front of customers having meaningful conversations and being commercially sharp rather than hiding behind email.
A background in electrical sales is essential. Experience within industrial automation is useful but not critical. Candidates from an electrical wholesale background are absolutely relevant provided the personality attitude and ambition are right.
The role is predominantly field based with one day per week spent in the Manchester office and the remainder out with customers. The interview process is straightforward and human with an initial informal coffee chat followed by face to face meetings with the wider leadership team.
The package includes a competitive basic salary c£40k depending on experience alongside uncapped commission paid monthly and an additional annual bonus linked to wider business performance.
If you are currently in an electrical sales role and feel under challenged under utilised or limited by structure or territory this opportunity offers genuine scope to make an impact.
