You combine your commercial acumen with an interest in technical products, enabling you to genuinely help customers move forward.
No two days are the same: you liaise with clients, draw up quotations, follow up on leads and help devise the best solution for every situation. You maintain an overview, take ownership of the sales process and ensure that opportunities are turned into tangible results.

• Supporting account managers, ensuring the sales process runs smoothly and helping colleagues to be fully prepared before they head out;
• Identifying commercial opportunities; you see potential for expanding and deepening customer relationships;
• You’ll work alongside technical colleagues, liaising with sales support and the technical department to provide customers with the best solution. 

In short: you are the link between the customer, the technical side and sales. With your commercial drive, you ensure that enquiries develop into strong customer relationships and excellent results.
