Sales recruitment across Northamptonshire
Northampton, Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough form part of a county with established manufacturing and distribution activity. North Northamptonshire Council’s investment overview describes the logistics and manufacturing businesses in the north of the county and their supply-chain connections.
For a commercial vacancy, those connections can matter as much as the employer’s sector label. We discuss whether the person will sell to manufacturers, distributors, contractors or other businesses, and which relationships they will be expected to develop.
Hiring for national accounts and new contracts
A key account role may involve negotiations with a customer’s head office while coordinating delivery across several sites. A business development role may focus on finding new customers or responding to tenders. We separate those responsibilities in the brief.
Through our account management service, we consider the scale of the portfolio and the person’s ownership of growth, pricing and retention. This gives the search a clearer focus than a general requirement for someone with national account experience.
