Summary Generated by Built In
You do not just sell a product, you fly it yourself. At AutoGyro, sales does not end with a conversation, it begins in the air. You present our gyrocopters not only in theory but demonstrate them in flight, making the experience tangible for the customer. You are not selling a generic product, but a high-end aviation product that convinces both emotionally and technically. The key difference is that you do not just show the customer what they are buying, you let them experience it. The role combines sales of our gyrocopters with demonstration flights, is fully on-site and includes travel of approximately 20 to 40 percent. We are looking for an experienced sales professional with a strong affinity for aviation.
Join our dynamic team and play an active part in our company’s success. You can look forward to attractive terms and conditions, as well as a free lunch every day.
