Job Summary
We are looking for a high-performing Sales Manager to spearhead new business growth for RETAIL NXT, a premier platform connecting retail technology innovators with industry decision-makers. In this role, you aren’t just selling floor space; you are crafting strategic partnerships that help tech vendors reach the right brands and retailers. You will own the entire sales cycle—from identifying high-fit prospects to closing complex, multi-layered sponsorship packages. If you are a consultative seller who thrives on building a pipeline from scratch and delivering high-value solutions in the DACH retail tech ecosystem, this is your opportunity to drive a market-leading event.
Key Responsibilities
- New Business Acquisition: Identify and win new sponsors and exhibitors by targeting retail technology companies looking to influence decision-makers at major retailers and brands.
- End-to-End Deal Ownership: Manage the full sales process from the initial outbound call and discovery to negotiation and final signature.
- Consultative Proposal Design: Create bespoke partnership packages that combine exhibition space with high-impact elements like guided tours, executive lunches, and speaking opportunities.
- Pipeline Management: Build and maintain a qualified pipeline, ensuring constant movement of opportunities and accurate forecasting of closing dates and revenue benchmarks.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Navigate procurement processes and engage directly with senior marketing and sales leaders to align event participation with their business goals.
Requirements
- Language: Native or professional-level fluency in German (C1/C2) and English.
- Experience: Proven track record in B2B event sales, specifically selling sponsorship and exhibition packages for conferences or trade shows.
- Sales Strategy: Expertise in winning first-time sponsors and building multi-part, consultative proposals rather than just "selling booths."
- Local Market Knowledge: Deep understanding of the DACH business landscape and experience selling to senior marketing and sales decision-makers.
- Location: Based onshore in Hamburg with the ability to work standard business hours (09:00–17:00 CET).
