Preferred salary up to £65,000, possibly to £70,000 for an exceptional individual, on target earnings are a further 75% of base salary with bonuses payable quarterly. Plus all usual large company benefits including a company car and a generous contributory pension.

Our client, a leading asset financier for whom we have placed over 50 staff since 2000, is seeking an additional Area Sales Manager to join their highly successful manufacturing asset-focused sales team.

Your role is to identify and prospect for new direct or dealer-driven business typically in the SME & SMB space across a sales area of East Midlands encompassing Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, and as far north as Lincoln.

Targets are reasonable and reflect the strong new business nature of the role.

You will be expected to largely self-source your own business but will be supported by management.

A detailed job description is available to share with qualified applicants.

Candidate Profile

To apply, you must live in the sales area and ideally have a background in direct driven asset finance. Those with experience of financing manufacturing assets are of particular interest, but our clients are pragmatists; any hard asset direct background is very acceptable.

Applicants with a manufacturing asset sales background who wish to develop a career in asset finance are also welcome to apply, as you will receive excellent training in asset finance.

We are seeking genuine new business hunters who have the skills to cold call, canvass, and close. We are also looking for those who do not need to be the cheapest on price to succeed, after all, you don’t earn £120,000 a year by selling out at 50BPS over your cost of funds!

Excellent career potential exists; 4 of the group's current Sales Directors joined via us and all in origination roles similar to this!
