Field Based Account Manager/Business Development Manager, End-User Focused, West Midlands Based, Strong AV Background, Available at Short Notice, Permanent


This candidate recently approached us here at AV Jobs and comes with a recommendation from an existing client. She strikes me as an extremely driven professional and natural sales person who can win customers over quickly.

This candidate is an extensively experienced sales professional with a track record of success selling AV products and solutions to the corporate and public sectors. Over 17 years in the industry, primarily selling to end users in the private/corporate sector. She has a strong sales track record, consistently exceeding targets with existing accounts as well as through new business development. She is used to field based roles where extensive travel is required; she enjoys selling in the field, presenting to and building relationships with clients. This candidate has a good knowledge of AV for business, with some exposure to Video Conferencing technologies, and is quick to learn new technologies and their selling points as they emerge.

Actively looking for a new opportunity as she is currently on gardening leave with her current employer, an AV distributor. This candidate is leaving the company by mutual consent as she was not enjoying distribution and is best suited to end-user focused sales with a reseller/integrator. She is keen to find a role where she can directly engage with end users and sell to them in a consultative manner.

Based in the West Midlands and happy to cover a sales territory of the Midlands and beyond. She enjoys technical sales but also has the personality to quickly establish rapport and build successful business relationships.
