DACH covers Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – one search instead of 3 separate ones, which is how most sales territories are cut anyway.

Sales managers in industry sell technical products and solutions to OEMs and end users – from the first technical discussion to the signed contract – usually with their own customer base and targets.

Sales manager is the broadest title in industrial sales – which is why the details of the ad matter. Most roles combine responsibility for existing customers with a clear new-business target, a defined territory or customer segment and close cooperation with product management. Employers expect several years of B2B sales of technical products, confident negotiation at buyer and management level and a clean pipeline in the CRM.

Machinery and plant engineering is the home of capital equipment sales: machine tools, packaging and process lines, special-purpose machines. Sales cycles are long, deals are large and technical credibility decides.

Buyers of machines and plants decide in committees: production, engineering, purchasing and management all have a say, and a project can take a year from first contact to order. Sales people in this industry manage tenders and specifications, reference visits and factory acceptance tests. Typical employers are mid-sized, family-owned manufacturers with a strong export share – which is why language skills and willingness to travel appear in most ads.

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 Manager earns across Europe.

A company car is mentioned in 14% of the ads, variable pay in 0%.
