Sauce People are recruiting an experienced Area Sales Manager on behalf of an established and highly regarded supplier of CNC machine tools and engineering solutions.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established business representing high-quality machinery and solutions to manufacturing and engineering customers across the Midlands and North West.

The company is looking for someone who can develop existing customer relationships while actively identifying and winning new business throughout the territory.

The Role

This is a home-based field sales position with responsibility for developing sales across the Midlands and North West.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing and developing existing customer accounts

Preparing and following up quotations
Developing a strong pipeline of new opportunities

Ideally, you will have sales experience within CNC machine tools, manufacturing equipment, production machinery or a closely related engineering sector.

Self-motivated and capable of managing a large geographical territory
Commercially aware with good negotiation skills

The company is prepared to offer a competitive, industry-standard package to secure the right person.

The package includes:

Competitive basic salary – negotiable depending on experience
Quarterly company performance bonus
Company car
Personal use of company car
Pension
Option of private medical insurance

Established customer base
Excellent opportunity to develop the territory

Interested?

If you're an experienced Area Sales Manager, Regional Sales Manager, Technical Sales Engineer, Sales Engineer, Business Development Manager or Machine Tool Sales professional looking for your next opportunity, we'd be keen to hear from you.

Likewise, if you have strong technical sales experience within the engineering/manufacturing sector and feel your background could transfer well into machine tool sales, please get in touch.

All applications will be treated in confidence.
