What employers expect from a Sales Director

Sales directors own the commercial strategy of an industrial business unit: targets, pricing, channel mix and the team that delivers them. Most positions ask for a track record in leading international sales organisations for technical products.

Employers hiring a sales director look for someone who has already run a sales organisation through a change: a new market, a new channel, a reorganisation after an acquisition. Expect to own the revenue plan, the pricing corridor and the structure of the team, to report to the managing director or the board and to be measured on order intake, margin and forecast accuracy. Industrial companies value directors who still visit key customers themselves and who can discuss a machine concept or a service contract without calling for an engineer.

Selling in Industrial Software

Industrial software and digitalisation covers MES, PLM, IIoT platforms, machine vision and OT security – solution selling to production and IT leaders, often with recurring revenue models and proof-of-concept phases.

Industrial software is sold as a solution, not as a licence: MES, PLM, IIoT platforms or machine vision change how a plant works, so projects start with a proof of concept and involve production, IT and management. Sales roles suit people who understand manufacturing processes and can build a business case; recurring revenue models mean account development matters as much as the first deal.

Salary and compensation

Few of these ads state a salary. Industrial employers often discuss pay in the first interview – our salary benchmarks show what to expect: More on median, range and source: what a Sales Director earns across Europe.

A company car is mentioned in 100% of the ads, variable pay in 0%.
