Our client is a well-established supplier of industrial lubrication solutions, servicing a diverse range of sectors including manufacturing, marine, food production, and automotive. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable engaging with production managers on a factory floor as they are presenting solutions to senior decision-makers in the boardroom.

Technical Expertise: Familiarity with industries such as mining, manufacturing, agriculture, plant hire, or tool sales is a plus.

Numerical Savvy: Comfortable with arithmetic and percentages for accurate quoting.
Transportation: A valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle are required.
Professionalism: Well-groomed, detail-oriented, and capable of managing time effectively.

Business Development: Research markets, generate leads, and convert them into long-term customers through cold calling, networking, and tailored presentations.
Sales Performance: Consistently meet and exceed sales targets by developing and managing a robust sales pipeline.
Collaboration: Work closely with colleagues to develop sales strategies, share market insights, and refine marketing approaches.
