Job Description

Selling to companies takes patience; at this conference and events venue in Johannesburg CBD, big deals are worth the wait. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

Build quotes and proposals with correct pricing and margins.
Book and run discovery meetings with buyers and procurement managers.
Attend trade shows and industry breakfasts to meet buyers.
Visit key accounts monthly and check how the service is going.
Prospect new companies by phone, LinkedIn and walk-ins in business parks.

What you need

You close deals, not just collect meetings
Valid driver's licence and your own reliable car
Solid presentation and negotiation skills
Confident with Excel, Outlook and a CRM

Helpful, not essential

An existing network of buyers in your sector
A technical trade or engineering background for sales engineer roles

What's in it for you

Annual incentive trip for top performers
Pension fund and medical aid contributions
Basic plus monthly commission on gross profit

How to apply

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) plus copy of your driver's licence.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.
