Job description

Inside Sales Representative (Dutch-speaking) (40 hours)

WhisperPower is a Dutch technology company that develops and produces high-quality energy systems for applications where a reliable power supply is essential.

We develop compact, quiet generator systems that deliver energy whenever it is needed. Our smart generators automatically adjust their output to the energy demand. This means less noise, lower fuel consumption and fewer emissions. Combined with batteries, we create complete hybrid energy systems.

Our systems are used worldwide in locations where energy is not a luxury but a necessity: from medical applications and defence to security and critical infrastructure. They are also used in more commercial settings, such as superyachts, refrigerated transport and specialised vehicles.

WhisperPower has been around for more than 20 years and is at the same time entering a new phase. We are modernising our technology and our way of working, and we are building an organisation with more structure, commercial strength and international growth.

That is why we are looking for an Inside Sales Representative who wants to actively contribute to this.

Please note: this position is based in Drachten (the Netherlands) and requires fluent Dutch, as well as good English.

The role

As an Inside Sales Representative, you have both a supporting and a proactive role within our sales team. You support our field account managers in processing and following up on orders, quotations and customer enquiries.

But this position is about more than administration. You are an important point of contact for our existing customers and international partners. You make sure questions are followed up properly and quickly, you keep in active contact and you spot commercial opportunities. In this way, you contribute to strong customer relationships and further growth with existing customers.

You will join a small, close-knit team and also work closely with colleagues from production and logistics, among others.

Responsibilities and tasks

• Processing and following up on customer orders;
• Preparing and following up on quotations;
• Answering commercial customer enquiries by phone and email;
• Maintaining active contact with customers in the Benelux and our international distributors;
• Spotting commercial opportunities with existing customers and following them up independently or together with the account manager;
• Monitoring open actions, quotations and customer enquiries and making sure they are followed up on time;
• Informing customers about products, prices, delivery times and order status, among other things;
• Coordinating with production and logistics on availability and deliveries;
• Supporting account managers in preparing and following up on customer meetings;
• Recording and keeping customer, contact and sales information up to date in our CRM and ERP system;
• Thinking along about how we can further improve our commercial processes and customer service.

Who are we looking for?

• You have an MBO+/HBO (secondary vocational/higher professional education) working and thinking level;
• You have at least two years of work experience in a comparable commercial position;
• You have strong communication skills in both Dutch and English (fluent Dutch is required);
• You have an affinity with technology and are curious to get to know our products and applications well;
• You work accurately, keep an overview and can handle different tasks and priorities well;
• You are commercially minded and enjoy reaching out to customers yourself;
• You take ownership and make sure agreements and actions are actually followed up;
• You have experience with ERP and CRM systems and quickly master new systems. We work with SAP, HubSpot, Microsoft Office and Slack, among others;
• You feel at home in a smaller, dynamic organisation where you get a lot of responsibility and work proactively.

What we offer

• A competitive salary including a pension scheme;
• A commercial position in the energy sector with customers all over the world;
• A varied role with lots of contact with customers and colleagues;
• Room to develop yourself and grow within the organisation;

Type of employment: Full-time/part-time by agreement
