Role Overview

As the Area Sales Manager - West Midlands, you will be responsible for driving customer retention and equipment sales growth working closely with your existing customers across a broad range of industries. You could be talking to the CEO of a small batch microbrewery one day and discussing our technology at a dairy farm the next. No two days are the same.

We will provide you with in‑depth training to learn our products and industry to enable you to sell a range of Linx coding and marking equipment, including industrial small character inkjet, high resolution case printing, and laser solutions. In addition to selling hardware, you will promote a variety of finance and service agreements to our customers. As this territory covers the West Midlands and is a fully remote role, it would be ideal if you were located near Birmingham, Worcester, or Telford.

Typical Day

• Business development and expansion of our equipment sales through partnering with our customers.
• Developing relationships at all levels up to and including senior leadership.
• Planning and prioritising your own diary to work on both long‑term and short‑term projects.
• Managing sales activity through KPI’s and using our corporate CRM (SalesForce.com).
• Participating in regional and national trade shows and onsite equipment demonstrations at customers’ sites.

Essential Requirements

• Willingness to travel up to 4 days per week (nights away from home when required)
• A proven track record in account management and evidence of sustained growth
• Ability to take ownership over a broad portfolio of customers
• Excellent attention to detail
• Knowledge of a CRM (preferably SFDC) would be advantageous

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within a manufacturing or production environment
• An interest in technology
• A background in electrical or mechanical engineering
