With a stretching sales target, you’ll be spending much of your time on the road/in the field attending meetings to identify, on-board and develop new customer accounts and further develop some of our existing customer accounts. New business development will require a dual approach: championing our products within the group to gain referrals from colleagues in addition to identifying and targeting your own new prospects. Typical sales cycles range from 3-6 months, requiring you to build and maintain a robust sales pipeline.  Key Responsibilities 
Lead Contact: Serve as the primary contact for new sales enquiries in the region.
Product Expertise: Develop a comprehensive understanding of our product line and its applications.
Demand Creation: Generate territory growth in line with commercial targets.
Networking: Act as the product champion within the group, liaising with distribution sites to foster awareness and secure buy-in, leading to customer referrals.
Internal Support: Assist colleagues with training, collaborate with joint sales visits, product design, demonstrations, and customer application support.
Consultative Sales: Use a consultative approach to analyse and solve customer problems, presenting tailored solutions.
Customer Relationships: Build trusted advisor relationships with key stakeholders and decision-makers.
Innovation Support: Collaborate with the National Product Manager on new product design and innovation.

What you will bring... We are looking for a candidate with a genuinely demonstrable and strong track record in solution selling. Ideally, you will have experience in distributor sales/channel distribution or direct packaging sales to end-users. Experience selling a technical product or application-based solution is preferred, though not essential as training is provided. Previous success selling into medical, electronic or broader industrial sectors would be preferred.   Key requirements include: 
Strong presentation, customer-facing, and influencing skills
Excellent commercial acumen and problem-solving abilities
Full valid UK driving license
Residing within a commutable distance of our manufacturing site in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire

What you will get... We offer a competitive salary with bonus and benefits, including: 
22 days annual leave (rising to 24 days with service) plus public holidays
Contributory pension scheme
Company Car (or allowance)
BUPA cover for qualifying roles
Extensive training, development, and progression opportunities
