Internal Sales - Industrial Electrical Wholesale in Manchester

Help Build a Brand-New Industrial Electrical Distribution Business

Are you an experienced internal sales professional who enjoys developing customer relationships, identifying opportunities and playing an active part in growing a business?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a leading national industrial electrical distributor as it launches a new operation in Manchester.

Rather than joining an established sales desk and simply processing orders, you’ll be involved from the beginning, working closely with the Business Manager to develop customers, build relationships and establish the new operation within the local market.

About the Business

The company is an established national distributor supplying industrial customers with electrical, automation and related products. Its local businesses are built around strong customer relationships, knowledgeable people and a commercially focused approach.

The new Manchester operation provides the opportunity to join at an early stage and play a genuine part in its growth.

The Role

As Internal Sales Executive, you’ll become a key point of contact for customers and work closely with the Business Manager to grow the local customer base.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building strong long-term relationships with customers
• Handling sales enquiries and preparing quotations
• Following up quotations and identifying opportunities to convert business
• Developing existing accounts and increasing customer spend
• Proactively identifying new sales opportunities
• Providing product and commercial support to customers
• Working closely with suppliers and the wider team
• Supporting the continued growth of the new Manchester business

This is much more than an order-processing position. You’ll be expected to understand your customers, recognise commercial opportunities and actively contribute to the development of the business.

About You

You’ll ideally have experience within industrial electrical distribution, electrical wholesale, mechanical distribution, MRO, engineering supplies or a closely related B2B environment.

You should be:

• Commercially minded and comfortable speaking with customers
• Experienced in internal sales, account management or a similar role
• Confident preparing and following up quotations
• Good at building lasting customer relationships
• Proactive in identifying opportunities to develop accounts
• Organised, responsive and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment
• Motivated by the opportunity to help grow a new business

What’s on Offer

• £30,000 – £38,000 basic salary depending on experience
• Annual profit share
• Opportunity to join a new operation from launch
• Company pension
• Excellent long-term career development
• Support and resources from a successful national group
• The opportunity to play a genuine part in building the business

If you enjoy developing customers and want an internal sales role where you can make a genuine commercial impact, this offers an excellent next step.
