Area Sales Manager & Business Development – Electronics in Funen and Zealand

Are you fascinated by technology and engineering, and do you love identifying and cultivating tomorrow's new key customers and finding the right solutions for them, while at the same time taking very good care of a solid and loyal customer base? Then we have a particularly interesting job for you.

Conscientiousness, high-end products and a distinct presence in customer service; a trifecta of unwavering cardinal points at NORD, which continually gives us increased activity. It is a huge privilege, which we fully enjoy, and which we are humble about and grateful for.

We are now seeking a new Area Sales Manager & Business Development – Electronics for Funen and Zealand. The position includes sales of all NORD products in your sales district. In addition, you will, in collaboration with the other salespeople, increase sales of drive solutions across the country, with a particular focus on frequency converters. The emphasis will be on activities in your own district.

Does this combination sound exciting, we would love to hear from you.

Work on the go and from home

You will play a key role in technical sales and advisory, and will work closely with both our Sales Director and the rest of the Danish team. But you will also have a great deal of independence and influence over your own work day.

Based in your home office – located in the district or in the Triangle region – you book your own customer meetings. You should expect to be on the road three days a week to advise customers on solutions and of course close orders.

Key tasks

With a focus on both new and existing OEM customers, your tasks will be to

• Increase sales of NORD products in Funen and Zealand
• In collaboration with the other salespeople, develop the sale of NORD drive solutions across Denmark, with a focus on frequency converters
• Prepare and meet sales budgets and implement sales plans
• Continuously record and update own sales projects in CRM
• Ensure monthly reporting

Take responsibility and use the team of experts

NORD has its Danish headquarters in Kliplev. Here you can draw on a range of highly competent and good colleagues who will always assist you in your daily work – both when you plan and when you need to find solutions with customers.

And your colleagues rely on you taking responsibility and working proactively – whether you need to prepare offers alone or develop solution proposals in collaboration with product specialists and our own technical department. You will have independent budget responsibility, and it goes without saying that we expect you to be able to increase our sales further.

Bring your technical knowledge to the job

You will have the best chance of success in this job if you have experience with relationship-building technical sales and project- and/or solution-based B2B sales. If you also have good technical knowledge of gears, motors, drive solutions and especially frequency converters, as well as a relevant technical education such as automation technician, you are strong. As a person, it is important that you:

• Are outgoing, sociable and thrive in informal settings
• Are reliable, persistent and engaged in customers' needs
• Work in a structured and goal-oriented way and are self-motivated
• Are independent, willingly take initiative and are good at problem solving
• Can adapt if an unexpected challenge arises
• Thrives on being on the move and working from the home office
• Are an optimist and have a smile easily (that’s how we are)

You will be particularly well positioned if you have solid experience with CRM and understand how to use it strategically and as a daily tool. In addition, knowledge of ERP systems (preferably SAP) and Microsoft Office is a given. It also comes with the fact that you should have experience with bus systems. It is important that you master both Danish and English fluently – written as well as spoken.

Get an exciting job with good support

NORD's very clear strength is the combination of solid solutions, technological prowess, our high level of service, and – not least – some wonderful and extremely competent colleagues who will do everything to make things succeed; for each other and for the customers.
