Regional Sales Manager (South London, Kent, Sussex)

Description

Established since the 1970s, our client manufacture and suppliy systems and components for low–voltage electrical installations. They offer a very broad range of products: over 20,000 items in its global catalogue, covering everything from sockets, switches, distribution boards, enclosures, circuit protection, and lighting to smart–building and home–automation systems. The business turns over almost 1 billion Euros per year and currently has over 2,000 employees worldwide. The UK division has almost 30 staff and are on target to grow their own revenue by another 10m in 2025. In order to achieve these goals, the company are now looking to add a Regional Sales Manager to their team, covering South London and the surrounding southern counties.

You will be targeting both independent and national electrical wholesalers in the region, as well as electrical contractors. You will be a natural relationship builder and have the persistence and tenacity to win orders as well as longer–term projects. To be clear, the company is not looking for a door–to–door sales person, but someone who can sell consultatively and represent the company in a professional manner at all times, winning business through building trust and being able to demonstrate value.

You will ideally come from an electrical sales background and have some sort of proven track record in achieving targets, whether this is from internal sales or out in the field, but other backgrounds and experience will also be considered. All training and support will be provided. Targets will be kept realistic and achievable with an understanding that it can take several months to achieve recognised growth and build a pipeline of business.

This will be a challenging sales role requiring someone with a strong work ethic as well as efficient organisational skills. In return you will be rewarded with a competitive basic salary and generous package, including car allowance and a lucrative bonus scheme and pension. In terms of future career progression, the company is huge and there will inevitably be opportunities to develop over time.
