Sales Development Manager

Location: Essex (Hybrid Working)

Salary: £50,000 - £80,000 + Uncapped Commission & Generous Bonus Scheme

Drive Growth. Build Relationships. Earn What You're Worth.

We're recruiting for a growing engineering technology business that is investing heavily in its UK sales team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Sales Development Manager who enjoys winning new business, developing key accounts and building long-term customer partnerships.

This isn't a high-volume telesales role. You'll be selling technically engineered solutions into manufacturing businesses, developing strategic relationships and growing both new business and existing customer accounts.

With a generous commission and bonus structure, hybrid working and genuine career progression, this is an opportunity to join a business where your success is recognised and rewarded.

The Role

Working alongside the Head of UK Sales, you'll be responsible for developing new business opportunities while maximising revenue from an established customer base through equipment upgrades, service agreements, spare parts, retrofit solutions and long-term support contracts.

You'll have the autonomy to manage your own pipeline whilst collaborating with engineering, service and project teams to deliver outstanding customer solutions.

Responsibilities

* Generate new business opportunities across UK manufacturing and engineering sectors.

* Identify and qualify decision makers through proactive business development.

* Build a consistent pipeline using phone, email, LinkedIn and networking activities.

* Arrange customer meetings and present technical solutions.

* Develop strong relationships with new and existing customers.

* Grow aftermarket sales including service contracts, spare parts, upgrades and retrofit projects.

* Produce quotations and manage opportunities through to order.

* Develop account plans to increase customer spend and long-term value.

* Work closely with engineering and service teams to deliver customer solutions.

* Maintain accurate CRM records, forecasts and sales activity.

* Support exhibitions, customer visits and marketing campaigns.

* Consistently achieve and exceed sales and revenue targets.

About You

* Experience in Business Development, Sales Development or Technical Sales.

* Background within engineering, automation, machinery or manufacturing.

* Proven success winning new business.

* Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.

* Commercially driven with a consultative sales approach.

* Comfortable managing a full sales pipeline.

* Experience using CRM systems such as Salesforce or HubSpot.

* Self-motivated and organised.

* Full UK driving licence.

Desirable

* Experience selling capital equipment, automation systems or industrial machinery.

* Knowledge of aftermarket sales, service contracts or engineering support agreements.

* Experience using LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

If you're looking for a role where you can build long-term customer relationships, win significant engineering projects and substantially increase your earnings, we'd love to hear from you
