AV Technical Sales Manager, West Midlands Based, Strong Channel & End User Project Sales Experience, Reseller Contacts, Immediately Available

I first met this candidate at XSolutions (http://www.xsolutionsonthenet.net/) in London last year, and then again at ISE 2012 (http://www.iseurope.org/home.php) in Amsterdam. He got in touch as he has just parted company with his last employer and is keen to find the right long term opportunity where he can progress his career.

This candidate is an accomplished Technical Sales Manager with a strong background in Audio Visual solutions sales and installation project management. He has an excellent technical understanding of AV solutions and enjoys advising clients on specific Pro AV projects, working with them to specify the right technologies for their systems, based on their business objectives. He has an excellent track record of working closely with end users, AV consultants, architects and system specifiers. Also has an extensive network of AV reseller contacts across the UK, including the Midlands and North of England.

This candidate has recently finished working for a specialist distributor, selling AV products into the reseller channel UK wide; although he enjoyed many aspects of the role, he finished working for them at the end of May 2012. This was agreed mutually and the main issues were the lack of project involvement (more order taking/box shifting than he would like) and that the product range he looked after included a large amount of Pro Audio kit, which is not his strongest area.

Now keen to find a sales opportunity where he can make use of his technical knowledge of AV (including specifying solutions, which he has done extensively on previous sales) and his account management and business development skills – he has a strong track record of growing AV sales divisions and winning new customers. He is based in the West Midlands, with easy access to the North West of England and the Midlands, and is used to covering a UK wide territory. Looking for a basic salary of around £30K plus car or car allowance and a good OTE (previous OTE was £45K). He is available to start immediately for the right opportunity.
