Internal Sales Lead

Internal Sales Lead

Are you the type of person who's quietly muttered "if only they'd let me run the show, things would actually get done" under your breath more than once? Well, here's your moment.

After the recent progression of an internal gun into a more technically focused role, we're on the lookout for an Internal Sales Lead. Someone who can lead from the front, keep things humming and make sure our customers keep raving about the service that's made us who we are.

A bit about us...

We're an Australian owned and operated business with over 50 years of success in the electrical, building, and construction sectors. We're not just "doing well",  we're growing, evolving and building the kind of team culture that people actually want to be part of (we know, crazy concept).

Our Internal Sales team is the beating heart of the business. They are the people who keep customers happy, quotes flowing and customised solutions on track. Now we need a capable, switched on lead to keep that heart beating strong and steady.

A bit about you...

You're a natural at leading the charge and leading people, not the "command and control" type, but the kind who gets that leadership is about setting clear expectations, backing your team and jumping in, leading by example and getting your hands dirty.

You'll be managing the flow of sales leads, ensuring quotes are accurate and timely and making sure every customer feels like they're our only one (without losing your mind in the process).

You probably tick most of these boxes (and if you don't, but you're awesome, apply anyway):

• At least 3 years selling technical or electrical products
• Strong negotiation, influencing and problem solving skills
• Experience leading or coordinating a small sales team
• A customer centric mindset that borders on obsessive
• An eye for detail and a brain that enjoys juggling 20 things at once
• Experience with freight coordination (or at least know what "consignment note" means)
• The ability to laugh when things get hectic (because they will)

Bonus points if you've worked with electrical components or have an engineering or technical background, but attitude and ability will win every time.

What you'll actually do...

• Lead and support the Internal Sales team to manage their workloads (This is a hands-on role, meaning you will be quoting and assisting customers but you'll also be leading the team and having some fun doing it)
• Allocate, monitor and manage all incoming sales leads and quotations
• Build and maintain strong customer relationships, the long term, we would sell our first born to service kind
• Work with suppliers and freight companies to make sure orders flow smoothly
• Collaborate with our Technical, Procurement, Operations, Warehouse and External Sales & BDM teams to keep everyone on the same page
• Identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and efficiency (once you've learned why we do things the way we do)

What's in it for you (besides glory and bragging rights at Christmas)?

• Above average and highly competitive base salary (You will work hard and be rewarded for your efforts)
• Monthly performance based bonuses that are actually achievable (Our team has received a bonus every month for 10+ years)
• A genuinely supportive and down to earth, a little left of centre team
• Unlimited opportunities to grow your career as we continue to expand (to infinity and beyond)
• Free lunch Fridays (yes, we're serious)
• Onsite parking (because we're nice like that)
• The satisfaction of leading a team that gets things done

If you're ready to take ownership, drive results, and finally get the recognition you deserve (and maybe a free schnitty on a Friday), then don't overthink it, hit apply now.

We can't promise world peace, but we can promise a role where you'll be valued, rewarded and supported.
