Account Manager Bird Control

Combine technology, sales, and customer relations in a versatile field-based role? As an Account Manager Bird Control, you will have the freedom to manage your own schedule, further expand existing customers, and actively seek new customers.

As an Account Manager, you are responsible for a combination of relationship management, technical advice, and active prospecting. You will focus primarily on medium and large B2B customers, including within food, logistics, industry, pharmacy, retail, and construction. You will visit customers and prospects on-site, analyze the situation, and translate your technical insights into a concrete and feasible proposal. Your responsibilities include:

• Following up on incoming leads and internal opportunities, including via technicians and other entities within the organization.
• Active B2B prospecting and building new customer relationships.
• Visiting potential customers and performing technical inspections.

• Thinking along with customers regarding retention, contract optimization, and additional solutions.
• Building a sustainable network within various sectors.
• Sharing your expertise with colleagues and acting as a technical-commercial point of contact within the team.

A role with much autonomy

You will be given great freedom to organize your own work. There are no fixed office days and you will independently plan your customer visits, prospecting, and other activities. At the same time, you will not be alone. You will receive thorough guidance during your start and will undergo an extensive onboarding process including:

• Ride-along moments with experienced technicians.
• Riding along with other Account Managers.
• Guidance from the Sales Manager.
• Online training and educational sessions at various locations.
• Regular individual follow-up and coaching.
