Job Description
Area Sales Manager – Newcastle
£45,000 + Fully Expensed Electric Car | 4 Days on the Road / 1 Day in the Office
Newcastle & surrounding territory | Full-time | 40 hours
Ready to take your sales career up a gear?
Our client is looking for an Area Sales Manager to take ownership of the Newcastle territory and drive growth across an established customer base.
This is a genuine field-based sales role for someone who enjoys getting out, meeting customers, building relationships and winning business — not sitting behind a desk all week.
You'll spend 4 days on the road visiting customers and 1 day in the office planning, quoting and following up.
And yes… you'll get a fully expensed electric company car.
What you'll be doing
* Manage and grow existing customer accounts across Newcastle and surrounding areas
* Develop new business and identify opportunities within your territory
* Visit around 4–5 customers per day, building strong face-to-face relationships
* Work with electrical wholesalers, contractors and industrial customers
* Prepare and follow up quotes, negotiate and close opportunities
* Hit sales and gross profit targets
* Work closely with the internal sales and branch teams to deliver excellent customer service
* Plan your diary and territory effectively to maximise sales opportunities
Who are we looking for?
We're ideally looking for someone with a background in cable, electrical, construction or a closely related sector.
However, if you've got strong field sales experience and can demonstrate transferable skills, we'd still like to hear from you.
You'll need:
* Proven experience in field sales, account management or business development
* Strong relationship-building and communication skills
* A proactive, self-motivated approach
* Excellent organisation and time management
* The confidence to develop both existing and new business
* A full UK driving licence
We're also looking for someone with a stable and consistent career history. We understand that career progression sometimes means moving companies, but frequent short-term moves without a clear reason can be a concern.
Likewise, we're looking for someone whose experience shows a clear sales/commercial career path, rather than a CV jumping between completely unrelated sectors.
What's on offer?
* £45,000 basic salary
* Fully expensed electric company car
* Company laptop & mobile phone
* 22 days annual leave, increasing to 25 days with length of service
* Annual pay review every April
* Scrap bonus after 1 year's service
* Christmas bonus after 1 year's service – equivalent to one week's pay
* Company pension – 5% employee / 3% employer contribution
* Summer & winter social events
* Weekly or monthly pay options
* Ongoing training and career development
* The opportunity to join a market-leading UK cable distributor
