Area Sales Manager – Sporting Equipment

Excellent basic salary + company car, bonus, pension, life assurance and additional benefits

Kent, Sussex and Surrey

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a well-established sporting equipment brand with a fantastic heritage in the UK. Established over 120 years ago, the brand has developed over this time to take into consideration changing trends and expectations from its customers with products ranging from recreational to performance.   Due to their continued expansions and growth plans they are now seeking a Southern Area Sales Manager.

You will be responsible for creating brand awareness of new and existing product ranges within independent accounts. Although this is a well-established territory, building upon the existing account base with new accounts will be a crucial part of the role. You will actively seek new business and source opportunities in a mixture of markets including sport and leisure. You will also be responsible for journey and call planning, ensuring you divide your time appropriately between priority accounts. You will have experience in working at trade shows and representing a brand in this way. Finally you will work with the UK Sales Manager to establish a longer term strategy for the territory.

You will be an ambitious and tenacious Territory Sales Manager with a passion for the outdoors and sports. Ideally, you will come from a strong sales background and be experienced in developing existing accounts and creating new business. Most importantly, you will have a ‘can-do’ attitude and be able to operate autonomously and deliver strong sales results. You should want to work for a progressive company which is constantly developing and looking to further itself. If you want to be considered for this opportunity, please forward your details today.
