Head Of Sales

Our client, a service focused manufacturing company with sites throughout the North of England, seek to appoint a Head of Sales. Reporting directly to the board the appointed Head of Sales will take direct ownership of the internal sales team who service existing accounts whilst ensuring their primary focus is on winning new accounts so the business continues to expand. You will need to have a proven sales background with demonstrable success. We are looking for someone who already has all the tools needed to identify who to speak with, get through to those people, and win business. We want you to quickly know the companies you need to sell to, and the people within those companies you'll need to target, and be the person that can open the door and get meetings with those companies/contacts from a cold start. A background in electro-mechanical engineering selling a complex engineered system is required. It's a high value and high complexity sales cycle. 
On offer is an excellent base salary and benefits package and long term, stable employment for a market leading business with an excellent value proposition. It's an easy sell: they have high quality products that companies want to buy and state-of-the-art facilities and products that allow any order size to be fulfilled. They're looking for an old fashioned sales person that can knock on doors (figuratively, but occasionally literally!) to get their message out.
