Technical Sales Manager

Futures are working with an expanding technology focused business, with a brand new product range to bring to market, which are looking to appoint a Technical Sales Manager. The appointed Technical Sales Manager will identify new business opportunities with existing and prospective customers and convert them into sales. It is important that you have a good understanding of traditional engineering and can talk confidently with clients around the technical detail of precision engineering, machining, fabrication and welding. You need to have knowledge of a technical product and experience of managing a technical sales cycle, often interacting with technical staff rather than procurement professionals, and that you can hunt out new business opportunities from a standing start. The product range you have is market leading and fairly priced though. It's a simple sale once in front of the right person. The hard part is getting in front of them to start with. On offer is an excellent base salary and benefits package and long term, stable employment for a market leading technology business with a great R&D team.
