The position of Regional Sales Manager

A Regional Sales Manager is a commercially driven individual who aims for outstanding sales results. In this role, you manage your designated regions, providing (international) clients with training solutions that meet their specific needs, whether small or large. The Benelux countries and Scandinavia are among the regions included in this area. The main focus is on the growth and profitability of your region. You keep an eye on regional market trends and identify new opportunities to pursue. Achieving optimal customer satisfaction is your primary goal, and you address potential issues promptly by providing solutions. You understand your clients well and proactively think through suitable, technical solutions to meet their training requirements. Selling a technical product is second nature to you. Ultimately, you aim to build long-term relationships, not only with potential clients but also with LION.

You will sell Training Solutions to clients based on your established Sales & Country Plans, and you will report on sales results using Salesforce. To drive sales, you are consistently proactive in seeking new clients and appointing new dealers. You also support existing dealers with their daily operations. You take ownership of your proposals to clients and enjoy organizing demonstrations and product presentations, whether on-site with the client or at LION’s location. Your objective : closing the deal. You work collaboratively with the team, as you are part of the sales team, and when a promising lead arises, the “Triangle” team is activated. This trio, which is involved from the start of the sales process, includes a Sales Engineer, Project Engineer, and Project Manager. The Sales Engineer takes the lead in developing the technical proposal for the client.
