- Be responsible for the operational, organisational and strategic management of your sales area, fully utilizing the top-in-class CRM system, Salesforce
You’ll be part of a supportive, field-based regional team who are only a phone call away but you’ll be working by yourself on the whole, so you need to be comfortable with building relationships remotely and motivating yourself.
What you need is:
- Customer facing B2B sales experience.
- Façade / technical sales experience desirable
- Solution-oriented approach – you have the ability to uncover customers’ pain points and needs in order to provide our best-suited solutions
- You share our values – commitment, teamwork, courage and integrity
