AV & VC Account Manager, South West England Based, Excellent Sales Track Record, Corporate & Education Sector Experience, 1 Month's Notice, Permanent


I have known this candidate for some time, having first met him at an industry trade show several years ago. He is an enthusiastic professional with a genuine passion for technology and its application to improve the lives and effectiveness of those using it. This candidate certainly knows the AV industry and his personality and attitude allow him to communicate with decision makers in all levels in a variety of settings.

This candidate is  an experienced sales professional currently working for an AV manufacturer, where he initially utilised his background in the education sector to help grow their niche market share in to the UK number 1. More recently, his current employer have developed a new product and this candidate has again helped them to grow the market for this product, initially within education and now with a focus on the corporate market. He has achieved his successes by engaging directly with end users to uncover opportunities that he then closes along with a reseller partner.

This candidate has excellent communication skills, a good technical understanding of AV and VC solutions for the corporate market, with an emphasis on outcomes and how these technologies help the client to work more effectively and ultimately increase their bottom line. An excellent “door-opener” and relationship builder, utilising networking and referrals to build his client base, along with proactive account management to develop existing accounts. He is based in South West England, and is used to travelling extensively to serve clients across the South of England, and often further afield.

Now actively looking for a challenging opportunity where he will be able to develop as a professional and earn good levels of commission. He is ideally looking for a salary of £35K with a good OTE, but is flexible depending in the opportunity.

Senior AV Field Sales Consultant, Channel & End User Sales Experience, 20 Years in AV, Strong Sales Track Record, Vast Industry Knowledge & Contacts, Immediately Available, South Yorkshire Based


This candidate recently approached us as he is looking for the next step forward in a successful career in sales. He comes across as a friendly, professional and very knowledgeable Audio Visual sales professional. He comes with recommendations from other reputable contacts within the AV industry, an endorsement of his ability and integrity.

An experienced Audio Visual professional, this candidate began his AV career in a technical role, installing and repairing consumer AV equipment, before quickly moving into more sales focused roles, where he has since flourished. He honed his sales skills in field sales roles for an AV reseller, enjoying four years of success exceeding sales targets and progressing to Area Sales Manager, selling into the education sector. He then joined a larger Systems Integrator, selling into the corporate sector, higher education, leisure and government (MOD). As his career developed, he worked across a range of sectors selling sophisticated whole solution packages comprising a wide range of AV and IT technologies. His last role in end-user focused sales saw him take on a national sales role focused on the corporate solutions market.

The next step in his career saw this candidate move into a channel role, selling high-end AV products across the North of England into the reseller channel on behalf of a specialist distributor. Although he has enjoyed some major successes in this role, various issues within the company have meant that he has decided to move on and as such is available for a new opportunity at short notice.

Based in south Yorkshire, this candidate is flexible in terms of the sales area he will cover; he will consider relocation for the right role, but is also happy to cover a nationwide territory from his current location. He is used to working in a field based capacity, is self-motivated and autonomous.


Immediately available and looking for a salary of £38K plus Car and a good OTE (open to negotiation dependent on the role). This candidate will bring with him extensive industry and up-to-date product knowledge, as well as extensive contacts, enabling him to add to the company bottom line quickly.
