Custom Install Sales Professional, Strong Business Development & Relationship Building Skills, Bristol Based, Immediately Available

This candidate contacted me recently following his relocation from the London area to Bristol, South West England. He is a very positive, professional person with excellent communication skills and a real passion for AV technologies aimed at the domestic market.

With a strong background in selling Custom Install solutions to architects, builders, developers and interior designers, this candidate is keen to find a new permanent opportunity. He wants to make use of his extensive knowledge of consumer electronics/custom install technologies in a business development/sales role. He has successfully built relationships with decision makers for his previous employer in the South East of England, with a good track record in winning new business and hitting sales targets. He is not afraid of cold calling over the telephone, or visiting potential client sites and introducing himself.

This candidate has sold and overseen the installation of a wide range of home automation and related technologies, form the initial wiring/infrastructure, through to completed home systems and home cinema, incorporating multi-room AV, high-end projectors, audio systems, HiFi, lighting and associated control systems, including iLight, Lutron, iMerge and Control4. His early career shows a solid progression from working in retail sales of consumer electronics and HiFi into the Custom Install industry.

Until recently he was working on an ad hoc basis for a custom installer assisting with installations. He is currently undertaking some part time training work, teaching retail staff how to sell higher-end consumer electronics. He is keen to get back into a full time sales focused role and is available immediately.

I can envision this candidate being an asset to a company with or without a base in the South West/Bristol area that wants to win more business in the Custom Install market there. This candidate is proven working independently and would thrive in a field based sales role, with the backing of a remote technical team.

Flexible on salary (he will consider roles form £20K+) as he knows that he must prove his worth to a new employer, this candidate would relish the opportunity to show this.

If you can offer this candidate an opportunity or would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact me: david@avjobs.co.uk
