Sales agent / Lead generation

We are a well established Essex based Electronics and Mechanical design and manufacturing company. We are looking to find and take on more customers for the UK manufacturing and assembly side of our business in both electronic and product assembly. As such we required someone to research potential new customers starting in the local area and then moving outwards geographically. We then need to know if they have current requirements and jobs that would use our services, and obtain the information so that we can quote for their work. Ideally we are looking to find customers who can provide regular ongoing work with repeat batches each month. For the right sales person there is a good opportunity for repeat business from us. Can be done remotely but we would require at least one visit to our site first to understand the nature of our work and the customers we are looking for.
