3. We also want you to identify potential customers through research using LinkedIn and trade literature and undertake outreach using multiple channels to create additional sales opportunities.

5. Attending trade shows and conferences to learn the industry more but also identify and talk to prospects and existing customers.

2. You'll need to be self-motivated and organized as this is a remote position and also be comfortable with the fact that you'll only be taking the sales process as far as demo/meeting stage.
3. Experience selling software or into the manufacturing/production sector would be a benefit but isn't a requirement as there is great product training available.
4. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential.
5. Experience using a CRM system would be a huge benefit, and you'll be results motivated and driven to progress your career in sales.
