Default Representative wanted for Pool industry

Hope that its allowed to invite anyone to contact me who is living in Spain near the coast (mid) and speaks Spanish and English fluently to work with me in the Swimming pool industry.

That'll be a PM or a post but I do need help and quickly.

I guess that there is nobody out there interested in potentially well paid work then. I guess I had better advertise elsewhere.

You will have little luck when advertising a job stating 'Fluent in Spanish & English'
This is a problem here on the coast, many of us Brits speak good conversational spanish, others basic spanish but Fluent Spanish is a whole different ball game.
Many of us will need another few years here, speaking spanish daily in order for it to become fluent.

Living and working in an English speaking enviroment simply slows progress even further.

Anyway....best of luck

Thanks for the replies

I'd settle for conversational Spanish... the translation I can use an agency so that can be removed.

What I need is someone who is confident enough in spanish to Sell products to Pool builders in Spanish. I'm doing that at the moment in France and I'm no way fluent in French.

If I cannot find a native speaker who also speaks english then I'll settle for an English speaker who can sell in Spanish. I guess that means Catalan as well.. although I am not sure how much influence that has on things. It might mean two or three different people for different regions.

I don't really have strong preferences like that, but I do need someone would can speak with Spanish people and english people, be they pool builders or pool owners.

What is very important, is energy, iniative, professionalism and commitment.

This is a business where anyone can find a good living but there are no free rides - those who do the work get rewards.

I want to work with people who have the grit.
