1 week ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Acheson + Glover Full time

Since our establishment more than 60 years ago as Acheson & Glover Limited, we have sought to provide opportunities for our team to build careers - rather than just hold down a job.

Our people matter to us. We care about their well-being (their Health and Safety) and we want to see them become the very best they can be.

We are now recruiting for a **Specification Consultant (GB, Midlands Region)** to join our growing team.

Due to continued growth, AG are seeking to recruit an experienced Specification Consultant for the Midlands region. The main purpose of the role is to meet with key customer groups such as Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers and Local Authorities to develop their knowledge and awareness of AG products and solutions and securing AG product specifications.

This can be achieved through one to one meetings or presentations to a group of specifiers.

- With the support of the sales support team you will be expected to attend a set number of meetings per week and a minimum of 50 CPDs per year.

- Promote company business by effective contact with specifiers and generally raise awareness of the company.
- Actively seek new customers and sell the technical capabilities of the company and its products.
- To establish new sales opportunities through industry networking and interrogation of CRM.
- Ensure all sales leads are passed on to the sales team in a format that enables them to close a deal.

- Provide existing customers with a high level of service.
- Be aware of competition and competitor’s products and prices.
- Maintain schedules as instructed by management to facilitate cold calling, timely introductions and to follow up initial contacts.
- Identify key business opportunities to promote and sell AG products.
- Provide monthly reports on trends and sales performance.
- To manage all customer contact information through use of the CRM system.
- To contribute to new marketing concepts and initiatives as and when required.
- To act as a customer representative in relation to new product and service development.
- To attend construction sites and train or advise customers about safe and correct use of our products and where failures or defects occur to resolve the issue in conjunction with the sales team, product managers and other technical staff.
- Co-operation with management and other sales staff to ensure efficient running of the business.
