Area Sales Manager
* Field based sales role working with builders merchants, industrial distributors, and manufacturing end user clients
* Presenting a range of market leading tools & fixing solutions used in multiple trades
* Excellent area with huge potential for growth
* Well established business, market leading brand, committed customer base

The Role
The Area Sales Manager will be in the field 3-4 days per week conducting well thought out, planned, customer visits with independent and national merchants, DIY retailers, and manufacturing end user prospects across the South East and Midlands area for a well respected brand in the fixings & fastening industry.
You will be inheriting a core business area, although one in need of developing. The Area Sales Manager will have around 60 spending accounts in the region, with a lot of data to go at for new business and lapsed accounts. The growth area is the South East of the UK. Organising your days and weeks is key to success, conducting multiple, pre-booked, meetings per day is the expectation and you’ll have to wear both distribution account management, and industrial end user new business hats.
