What makes hiring in Packaging and Processing different
A few things we keep in mind on every search in this industry.
1
Capital equipment sales takes patience and technical depth.
Machines are often engineered to order and sold over long cycles to many stakeholders. The right sales leader knows how to manage that cycle and how to work with engineering.
2
Field service is the front line.
Your service team shapes the next sale. Good field service leaders who can travel, solve problems and protect the customer relationship are hard to replace.
3
Aftermarket is a business of its own.
Parts, service and upgrades across an installed base can be a durable revenue line. Leading it well is a distinct skill, and worth recruiting for directly.
