Area Sales Manager Newcastle
£45,000 + Fully Expensed Electric Car | 4 Days on the Road / 1 Day in the Office
Newcastle & surrounding territory | Full-time | 40 hours
Ready to take your sales career up a gear?
Our client is looking for an Area Sales Manager to take ownership of the Newcastle territory and drive growth across an established customer base.
This is a genuine field-based sales role for someone who enjoys getting out, meeting customers, building relationships and winning business not sitting behind a desk all week.
You’ll spend 4 days on the road visiting customers and 1 day in the office planning, quoting and following up.
And yes you’ll get a fully expensed electric company car.
What you’ll be doing
- Manage and grow existing customer accounts across Newcastle and surrounding areas
- Develop new business and identify opportunities within your territory
- Visit around 45 customers per day, building strong face-to-face relationships
- Work with electrical wholesalers, contractors and industrial customers
- Prepare and follow up quotes, negotiate and close opportunities
- Hit sales and gross profit targets
- Work closely with the internal sales and branch teams to deliver excellent customer service
- Plan your diary and territory effectively to maximise sales opportunities
Who are we looking for?
We’re ideally looking for someone with a background in cable, electrical, construction or a closely related sector.
However, if you’ve got strong field sales experience and can demonstrate transferable skills, we’d still like to hear from you.
You’ll need
- Proven experience in field sales, account management or business development
- Strong relationship‑building and communication skills
- A proactive, self‑motivated approach
- Excellent organisation and time management
- The confidence to develop both existing and new business
- A full UK driving licence
We’re also looking for someone with a stable and consistent career history. We understand that career progression sometimes means moving companies, but frequent short‑term moves without a clear reason can be a concern.
Likewise, we’re looking for someone whose experience shows a clear sales/commercial career path, rather than a CV jumping between completely unrelated sectors.
What’s on offer?
- £45,000 basic salary
- Fully expensed electric company car
- Company laptop & mobile phone
- 22 days annual leave, increasing to 25 days with length of service
- Annual pay review every April
- Scrap bonus after 1 year’s service
- Christmas bonus after 1 year’s service equivalent to one week’s pay
- Company pension 5% employee / 3% employer contribution
- Summer & winter social events
- Weekly or monthly pay options
- Ongoing training and career development
- The opportunity to join a market-leading UK cable distributor
