Internal Sales Executive

Location: HD3
Salary: £32,000 – £35,000 per annum

Are you an experienced B2B Sales Executive looking for an opportunity to develop your career in a new industry?

We are recruiting for an Internal Sales Executive to join an established business specialising in engineering services, working with industrial clients, manufacturers and large retailers. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong sales background who enjoys building relationships, managing existing accounts and generating repeat business.

You don't need previous engineering industry experience, but you must be confident using IT systems, managing customer databases and keeping accurate records of sales activity.

The Role

You will be responsible for managing an existing database of clients, developing relationships and identifying opportunities to generate repeat business, alongside promoting engineering services and maintenance solutions to new and existing customers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing an existing database of B2B clients.
• Building strong relationships with industrial clients, manufacturers and large retailers.
• Generating repeat business and identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.
• Selling engineering services, service and maintenance contracts, and new installation contracts.
• Engaging with key decision-makers, including Maintenance Managers, Production Managers, Engineering Managers and Health & Safety Officers.
• Identifying customer requirements and matching them with the appropriate engineering solutions.
• Maintaining accurate sales records, updating CRM systems and managing customer databases.
• Following up on enquiries, quotations and prospective sales opportunities.
• Proactively contacting existing customers to maximise sales opportunities.
• Working towards building a successful sales desk, with the opportunity to benefit from a commission structure as the role develops.

About You

We are looking for a confident and commercially minded sales professional who can build relationships, identify opportunities and manage their workload effectively.

You will ideally have:

• Previous B2B sales experience, ideally within internal sales, account management or business development.
• Excellent IT skills and confidence using CRM systems, databases and sales software.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to maintain accurate records.
• A proactive approach to account management, customer follow-ups and generating repeat business.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to understand customer requirements and identify opportunities to increase sales.
• A willingness to learn a new industry and develop your technical product knowledge.

Experience within engineering or manufacturing is not essential.

We are interested in candidates with transferable B2B sales skills who are keen to learn and build a long-term career within the engineering services sector.

What's on Offer?

• Salary of £32,000 – £35,000 per annum, depending on experience.
• The opportunity to join an established business with an existing client database.
• The chance to develop your knowledge of the engineering services industry.
• A role focused on building long-term customer relationships and repeat business.
• The opportunity to develop your own sales desk and benefit from a commission structure in the future, once the desk is established.
