A genuine and exciting opportunity to work within a well-established and respected industrial cleaning machine distributor. Over 30 years of continued and more recently accelerated growth has proven this forward thinking company to be a UK leader in cleaning machine sales, hire and service.
Becoming one of the most successful businesses in their field has materialised through commitment and hard work, all built around a strategic philosophy, good people with shared strong morals and proactivity – proactive in development of the business and the open mindedness to adapt to the competition and an ever changing market place. At the core of the business is the customer and by providing the very best service from first customer contact through to ensuring superb after sales support and care has allowed a loyal and varied customer base to have been established, carefully maintained and grown hugely over many years.
The Role:
The Machine Sales Specialist role is as exciting and rewarding as it is challenging and demanding. As a team player you must sign up to the company’s philosophy and share their passion to provide great service to prospective and existing customers, manufacturing suppliers and third party partners. Communication and co-ordination is central to this position.
The core of the job is to exceed machine sales targets – to win business in a consultative style, listening to the customer and recommending solutions. Customers will be varied, across many different industries and because of this you will need to understand the importance of demonstrating the skills to adapt your own delivery and product presentation style to all decision makers and influencers.
To be a successful Machine Sales Specialist you will need to plan your time effectively and show excellent organisation skills – this is vitally important to ensure you can arrange customer appointments, site surveys and demonstrations whilst balancing time on the road with duties necessary in the office. Much of your time will be travelling so you will need to enjoy being out on the road but equally to cope with the demands that this puts on the time needed to conduct the job effectively and fully.
A self-disciplined and self-motivated, team player who is hungry to win business, professional in approach and importantly a real people person, able to build rapport with strong skills in influencing and presenting the benefits of a product will do well here.
Success and hard work will be rewarded by this company along with the offer of great job satisfaction and variation to ensure every day is different. Full training is promised from induction and ongoing with encouragement, support and enthusiasm for you to achieve.
