· Have technical credibility in front of customers (most probably some sort of mechanical engineering qualification or strong relevant experience)
· Have the capacity and desire to take on applications, features & benefits of the products to provide strong consultancy - often supporting distribution partners and Representatives on client visits
· Be a driven, self-motivated and skilled sales professional, with soft skills to drive and manage distribution partners and display an understanding of the symbiotic 'partnership' relationship - rather than traditional straight line management
· Have an appreciation for the strategic approach to sales, and an ability to nurture long term relationship management rather than 'crash and bang' sales closing and quick wins
