Job Description:

The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Area Groundcare Sales Manager to join an established machinery dealership, covering East Lothian and down towards the Scottish Borders.
This is a field-based sales position focused on developing relationships with customers, identifying new business opportunities and promoting a range of leading groundcare and machinery brands.
You will be responsible for managing your own territory, visiting customers and developing sales across a range of equipment.
This is a relationship-led sales role rather than a telesales position, so the ability to build customer relationships, understand machinery requirements and provide the right solutions is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and grow groundcare machinery sales across East Lothian and the Scottish Borders.
• Build and maintain relationships with existing customers.
• Identify and develop new business opportunities within your territory.
• Visit customers to understand their requirements and recommend suitable machinery and equipment.
• Prepare quotations, negotiate pricing and convert opportunities into sales.
• Manage your own sales pipeline and territory effectively.
• Keep up to date with market developments and competitor activity.
• Work closely with internal parts and service departments to ensure excellent customer support.

The Ideal Candidate

The business is open to considering candidates from a variety of backgrounds, including:

• Previous machinery sales experience, ideally within groundcare, agricultural or construction equipment.
• Groundcare Engineers or Agricultural Engineers looking to move into a sales-based position.
• Candidates with a good technical understanding of machinery and equipment.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive approach to developing new business and looking after existing accounts.
• Self-motivated and comfortable managing a field-based territory.
• Full UK driving licence.

Importantly, this is not a telesales role. The focus is on getting out into the territory, meeting customers and developing long-term business relationships.
