Area Sales Manager

An opportunity has arisen for an Area Sales Manager to join a company operating within the heating, plumbing and building services sector, providing technical solutions that support efficient, reliable and sustainable heating and cooling systems.

Role Overview

As an Area Sales Manager, reporting to Regional Sales Manager, you will drive territory growth through account development, new business generation and technical customer support, with a 60/40 focus on existing and new business.

This is a home-based, permanent, full-time role with regular travel across the territory, offering a salary range of GBP 60,000 - GBP 70,000 and benefits. This role does not offer sponsorship.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for:

  • Managing and expanding relationships with existing and prospective customers across relevant sectors.
  • Identifying new commercial opportunities and developing them into sustainable business.
  • Creating and implementing territory and account plans to maximise sales opportunities.
  • Carrying out customer visits, product presentations, demonstrations, training sessions and business reviews.
  • Negotiating pricing and customer agreements within agreed commercial parameters.
  • Keeping CRM records, sales pipelines, forecasts, visit activity and account information up to date.
  • Working closely with internal sales, technical, marketing and customer service teams to provide a consistent customer experience.
  • Representing the organisation professionally at exhibitions, trade events and customer meetings.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
