Technical Field Sales Executive
A Technical Field Sales Executive is a hybrid role that blends deep technical knowledge with strong sales acumen. These professionals are responsible for selling complex products or services—often in industries like engineering, IT, manufacturing, or scientific equipment—by demonstrating how the technology meets a client’s specific needs.
Here’s what they typically do:
Identify and approach potential clients, often in person or on-site.
Explain technical products or services in a way that’s easy for non-experts to understand.
Conduct product demonstrations, answer technical questions, and provide pre- and post-sales support.
Negotiate contracts and close deals, while meeting sales targets.
Collaborate with internal teams like engineering or product development to tailor solutions for clients.
Think of them as the bridge between a company’s technical team and its customers—translating complex features into real-world benefits. It’s a role that suits someone who’s both tech-savvy and a people person.
Dronfield is a town in North East Derbyshire, England, which includes Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston. It lies in the valley of the River Drone between Chesterfield and Sheffield. The Peak District National Park is three miles (4.8 km) to the west. The name means open land infested with drones (male bees).
The town existed before the 1086 Domesday Book, and has a 13th-century parish church. In 1662, Charles II granted the town a market, although this later ceased. The industrial history of the town includes coal mining, the wool trade, the production of soap and steel, and engineering. Today a range of manufacturing firms still operate in the town.
Dronfield's population increased dramatically in the post-war years from 6,500 in 1945 to its current size of just over 21,000.[1]
The football ground to the north of the town is currently the home of Sheffield F.C., the world's oldest football club.
