Work Activities
As an Export Sales Manager, you will be responsible for managing the sale of products or services to customers in other countries.
You'll need to develop knowledge of the cultural, business and political background of the countries you are
responsible for, together with an understanding of consumer tastes. Then you can combine this with the results of
your market research to decide what will sell in these countries and how to sell it. You must also look for new
opportunities to sell to different international markets.
It is important that, as an Export Sales Manager, you build up and maintain good relationships with customers,
agents and distributors. To do this, you'll negotiate with them (often in a foreign language) to try to make a sale.
Depending on the level of your responsibility, you will often travel internationally, and could sometimes spend weeks
away from home.
You might have to decide whether the product can be modified to meet the customer's requirements or whether
special discounts can be offered. This is usually done after consultation with Product Managers and suppliers.
You'll also have to consider, and comply with, legal and ethical restrictions on international trading - you'll need to do
your homework first
As an Export Sales Manager, you will also need to provide quotations (estimates of price); for larger orders, and you
might need to complete a tender document (a competitive bid for the supply of goods or services) - and agree a final
contract if the bid is successful. Your role will be very varied
You must carefully monitor the processing of orders and check that the distribution is running smoothly and that
everything is on schedule. When the product has finally been delivered, you might have to deal with any complaints
or queries that occur.
Other duties involve producing marketing plans, budgets and sales reports for discussion by company management.
You'll also organise sales briefings and conferences, and visit international trade fairs.
Export Sales Managers are usually responsible for a department of other export sales and support staff.
Being able to read, write and speak Welsh may be an advantage when you're looking for work in Wales.
