After-sales and service sales managers sell spare parts, retrofits, service contracts and upgrades to the installed base – stable, high-margin business that many manufacturers are expanding.

After-sales and service sales managers turn an installed base into recurring revenue: service contracts, spare parts, retrofits, upgrades and digital services. They work closely with service technicians, know the machines in the field and sell to maintenance and production managers rather than to purchasing. Employers value people who combine technical credibility with a systematic approach to contract renewal and upselling.

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 After-Sales & Service Sales Manager earns across Europe.
