Account Manager - ERP / Accounting Software

A consultative Account Manager with great 'people skills' is wanted for one of the top 5 Sage resellers in the UK, and one of our busiest clients. Must have a solid background in solutions sales and account management working with accounting or ERP software clients. Fully home based anywhere in the UK. Up to £40,000 basic + £6,600 car allowance, £20k commission, plus incentive bonuses, on a target of £250k - £300k in GP.

If you have worked with Sage products - Sage 200, Sage X3, Sage 500, Sage Construct, or Sage Intacct, it would be a bonus, otherwise any other ERP solution or accounting software sales is fine.

You'll be part of a large team in the sales, marketing, and account management division, but it is fully home-based UK wide. You understand the clients' business drivers, you can create need when you speak to them, you're a great negotiator and brilliant at manging the client relationship. You are someone who "believes people do business with people" and you nurture and build loyalty.

Your primary role will be to look after the relationships with existing clients, building on their loyalty, and renewing their software support contracts, plus upselling a portfolio of add-on products and modules, licenses, software upgrades, training & consultancy, and business services. You will stay in regular contact with them to deal with their issues and discuss their requirements.

You need to be able to maintain and build these relationships, inspiring trust and confidence and ensuring that clients are happy and satisfied with their service offering and ensuring that you spot and then optimise opportunities to sell and promote additional products and services.

You can manage accounts to maximise profits, keep customers informed of company and product news through meetings and seminars, produce quotes and proposals, and maintain spot-on CRM records. You are well presented, and very personable, able to converse with people in an engaging manner and build long term relationships and client loyalty. You come up with new ways to increase user adoption and new sales and enjoy sharing your knowledge and ideas within a team.

This role is with one of the most successful Sage resellers in Europe and though they are a large business, they still feel very personal, and everyone who works here brings value to the business and is recognised and rewarded for that.
