Area Sales Manager - CNC Cutting tools

£42,000 - £44,000 + exc bonus + FE car + benefits

South East

(Ideally based Bromley, Croydon, Dartford, KUT, Rochester, Redhill or Tunbridge Wells)

This successful, long standing and hugely innovative organisation is one of the major players in the production of a superb range of tools for metalwork including turning, grooving, milling and boring. In order to further strengthen their team, they require a talented Area Sales Manager to cover the South East.

You will be responsible for the promotion of a range of high-quality cutting products and solutions to the Manufacturing, Automotive and Aerospace sectors. Working from home and reporting to the Regional Manager, you will be managing existing accounts and developing new business selling directly to customers and within a distribution network. You will be covering a range of postcodes and should ideally live in the Bromley, Croydon, Dartford, Kingston upon Thames, Rochester, Redhill or Tunbridge Wells areas.

Preferably you will have had success in selling metal cutting tools but it is not essential. You should be comfortable reading Engineering drawings and ideally you will have a Mechanical Engineering qualification or will have served a technical apprenticeship. Alternatively, you could have experience in CNC machining or programming machines and sold a similar product into the Manufacturing, Automotive or Aerospace sectors. It may even be that you have not yet had the opportunity to move into sales and are keen to progress your career away from the shop floor. My client's induction programme is superb and whilst excellent support will be given, you should be a disciplined, target driven individual capable of working on your own initiative. Irrespective of whether you have sales experience, you should have first class communication and negotiation skills combined with a winning mentality. This is an excellent opportunity to progress your career both personally and professionally with a forward-thinking market leader
