Dealer Manager Western region (home-based, flexibility on geography - see below) Are you building relationships in your dealer network while your employer chases your pipeline report? Something s missing, but finding something better isn t easy. To even consider a move, you'd need somewhere that understands why enabling a dealer to perform over three years beats closing a number by month-end. Where market feedback gets acted on. And where you can be part of the industry, not another lead chaser. That it s building on growth, with a well-resourced, small collaborative team and outdoor machinery loved by their customers well, that s almost as important. The job You will manage a small network of independent dealers with a sales budget of £7.5m: work closely with sales, service and technical contacts, support them when things go wrong, and act as their voice back into the business. You will be your dealers' go-to person across sales, performance review, training and coaching.
