The companies longer term plan would be for each BBD to build their own teams to further develop and grow the company within the next 3-5 years.

You will carry a target of £2m and your region will be part of the EMEA marketplace but will focus on their own product lines and become the company SME on that product or service and assist your colleagues in their delivery.

You will be expected to work independently, use your own initiative and you will be expected to perform.

The sales process will be based on a push/pull process that is to build awareness, interest and demand at an end user level to pull up through the channel and also to build the network of partner to push down through the channel.
