Their creative sales techniques and exceptional networking abilities forge close bonds with our clients and successfully guide them through the entire sales cycle, including quote preparation, to negotiation and after-sales. From start-up founders to global decision makers, the sheer variety of clients – and industries – they service means our business development managers face a steep learning curve. Their reward? Invaluable insights into key business and technology trends.
Our Business Development team comprises specialists from many different countries and fields – from industrial management to engineering. Whatever their background, they all share one outstanding quality: A hunter’s mentality when it comes to winning new accounts. As a Zühlke sales expert, you’ll need exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to really grasp what your client wants. Equally important will be your combination of drive and a down-to-earth attitude. This will ensure you fit easily into our close-knit team.
Business development happens where the client is, so our business development experts spend a lot of their time on site and/or in contact with the customer. The result is a very close relationship – and a position of considerable influence and responsibility. Even as you specialise in a particular type of client or industry and develop your own skills, you’ll have quite an impact on the portfolio of the whole company.
