We're looking for a confident, results-orientated person with a strong sales background and a talent for building effective, lasting relationships with customers. If you have a background in Asset Finance or specialist Print Equipment, that's a huge plus - but above all, we're looking for someone with initiative, commercial and financial acumen, and the motivation to succeed in a dynamic and rewarding environment.
This is a field based role, so you'll work from home, being based near Bristol or generally across the South West of England or Wales. The role involves significant amounts of travel, so a valid drivers licence is required.

* Make accurate, rapid quotations and provide customers with the relevant information to close the deal.
* Design and implement a strategic business plan that expands company’s customer base and ensure its strong presence.
* Identify emerging markets and market shifts while being fully aware of new products and competition status
* Ensure that all Governance and Compliance requirements are adhered to and all reporting and reviewing activities required by the Regulatory Bodies are carried out to the standards required.

WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU HAVE/ARE:
* Experience of working in a customer-facing sales environment, consistently meeting or exceeding targets
* Strong interpersonal skills and ability to effectively communicate at all levels
* Sales driven with an ability to plan and manage own activities and contact strategy
* Strong business and financial acumen
* Excellent sales and negotiation skills
IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU HAVE:

* Some knowledge of the Print industries (with a focus on asset expertise)
* Ability to analyse and interpret financial information
