With manufacturing based at our Wakefield HQ, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality products, exceptional service, and expert support to our customers.

Now in its third year, Clearview Trade Products has exceeded £3m in revenue and is on track to more than double that, as part of our ambitious growth plan.

We’re looking for a driven and results oriented Sales Manager to play a key role in accelerating our growth. Reporting directly to the board, this is a high-profile opportunity for a motivated sales professional to make a real impact.

Whilst you’ll take ownership of some existing accounts, this role is primarily ‘new business’ focused, which is perfect for a skilled negotiator who thrives on winning new customers and building lasting partnerships.

Key responsibilities include:

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities across the North and Midlands.
• Conduct market research to understand customer needs
• Build and nurture relationships with new clients, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.

• Collaborate with internal teams to address customer needs and resolve any issues promptly.
• Set and achieve sales targets, contributing to the overall growth and success of Clearview Trade Products.
• Negotiate and close deals in a manner that benefits both the company and the customer.
• Willingness to travel within the designated territory.

What we are looking for:

If you are a driven individual with experience in a Sales Management or Business Development role, acquiring new business, maintaining key accounts and increasing revenue, then we would love to hear from you!

Key experience we are looking for:

• Experience of selling windows, doors, roofs and associated products in a B2B setting could be an advantage, but we’re happy to train the right individual on how things operate in our sector.
• Results-driven with a flexible mindset and a focus on achieving and exceeding sales targets.
• Track record of successfully acquiring new business and increasing revenue
• Fantastic interpersonal skills to build and maintain relationships.

To be clear, we’re not looking for someone to arrive with a ‘black book’ of existing customers. We want an ambitious and talented individual who wants to build a real career with a growth focussed business, that values its customers and staff above all else.
