Area Sales Manager

• Join the UK sales team for this respected US based garden machinery manufacturer.
• A highly regarded global brand with unique selling points.
• An exciting and broad role involving dealer management, end-user sales and demonstrations.

The Company:

A US based, family run company that is recognised as a specialist manufacturer of ‘ride-on’ grass cutting machines with a series of unique features and benefits. Customers include stately homes, sports grounds, zoos, public parks, caravan parks and private homes – all supplied through an ever-expanding network of servicing dealers. This role has been created as part of a growth plan to drive UK sales towards their full potential.

The Role of Area Sales Manager:

Working from home you will be tasked with covering the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Northants, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Manchester, Merseyside, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

This is a fascinating and broad role:

• Actively target commercial end users to generate interest in your range (stately homes, national trust properties, zoos, public parks, sports grounds, caravan parks).
• Follow a classical sales process to identify decision makers, arrange a meeting, fact find, demonstrate, propose and close. Your goal is to maintain a full diary of dealer meetings and an on-going pipeline of end-user demonstrations.
• Attend national and regional country shows and trade shows in order to build brand awareness and generate leads.
• You will be provided with full product knowledge. Towing a trailer is sometimes required and this is also supported by comprehensive training.
