Area Sales Manager

Library solutions and E-books into the education sector
 
Working either 39 or 43 weeks of the year so great for school holiday cover!

Competitive basic salary

Covering the Cambridgeshire, Herts, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedfordshire, Essex, Kent, Sussex and Surrey areas based from home
 
My client is an established well respected supplier of educational library books & services into schools, colleges and universities.   If you have experience selling into the education sector and are looking for a new challenge this is a fantastic opportunity.

The Role

  • This is a field based sales role selling books, e-books and services into school, college and university libraries 
  • Based from home you'll be covering a large patch including Cambridgeshire, Herts, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex 
  • This is a new business focused position but all of your appointments are booked for you by a client care team
  • You'll be attending around 3 appointments per day, working Monday to Friday 
  • This role is to work mainly term time plus the half term holidays.  In total you would work either 39 or 43 weeks of the year 
  • Because of the patch size you would need to stay away from home from time to time and also you'd be attending some exhibitions and meetings at head office

The Person

  • We're looking for someone with field based sales experience selling into the education sector 
  • It would be great if you had experience of educational books, library solutions or e-books but this isn't essential
  • Ideal location would be CB. SG or CM postcodes but there can be flexibility for the right candidate
  • Good presentation skills are essential as you will be demonstrating the system and e-book solution daily.
  • Personality is key as this isn't a hard sell but its about relationship building and establishing rapport
  • Organisation and good reporting skills are also required for this position as once the business is won it is managed day to day by a customer service team who will require information on the CRM system which has been gathered during client meetings.

The Package

  • The basic salary is dependent on weeks worked but is competitive
  • There is a company car included
  • Pension
  • Invitation to join the sales bonus incentive scheme
  • Excellent product and sector training is provided.
