Commercial Manager (m/f): job description

A substantial list of potential customers already exists and a number of them signed MOU’s.  Now is the time to “close the deals”.  These clients must be followed up with, before and after their visit to make further arrangements leading to contractual agreements.  Commercial support in China is available and prospects  are followed up locally, but  always maintaining close contact with the Antwerp HQ.

Our commercial manager  will receive potential Chinese clients in Antwerp, outline the ‘programme’ for them, convincing them to invest in the China Brand Center and secure the contracts.

Once the client established themselves in the China Brand Center, our commercial manager will be in contact with all partners of the “ Programme”, both through a helpdesk and via their personal contacts.
