We have an unrivalled offering of products, a respected brand, and a successful sales force.
So, what’s the mission?
As an Area Sales Manager, your mission is simple: to drive new business and generate demand for our weatherboard product within your designated region. We are looking for someone who thrives on identifying and driving new business, building strong customer relationships from the ground up, hitting sales targets whilst looking after our existing customer also.
You will take responsibility for our South West patch including areas such as Reading, Oxford, Bristol, Southampton, Bournemouth, and parts of South Wales ( Cardiff and Newport).
Whilst a good part of your time will focus on demand generation via Housebuilders, Architects, Consultants and Main Contactors & the development of new trading customers lets not forget our existing customers as you will also have Account Management responsibilities.

* Representing the company at key industry events, exhibitions, and conferences.
* Delivering professional presentations to showcase our products and services.
* Supporting the induction and training of new starters as required.
Full product training is provided, so while you don’t need to be an expert in weatherboard products, we are looking for someone with the motivation, drive, and ideally sales experience to succeed.
Based upon sales opportunity for our Weatherboard product we would look for the ideal candidate to be based in and around the south coastal region.
What are the mission-critical skills?

We will be looking for these mission-critical skills:
* Self-motivation with a proactive approach to achieving targets.
* Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
* Strong presentation skills for delivering pitches to clients.
* Ability to manage time and plan journeys effectively for maximum productivity.
* Problem-solving skills, with the ability to offer innovative solutions to customer needs.
* A team player who can collaborate effectively across departments.
* Willingness to travel extensively and work independently.
