Technical Business Development Manager (North of England)

Technical Business Development Manager | North of England | Home Based £40,000 - £50,000 + Company Car + Bonus + Benefits | Do you enjoy selling technical solutions rather than products? Are you the type of salesperson who enjoys getting out on site, understanding how a customer's business operates and developing the right solution rather than simply chasing the next order?

* Identifying new project opportunities across your territory.
* Visiting customer sites to understand operational requirements.
