Job Description

This office equipment supplier in Pinetown wants someone who can open doors and keep accounts for years. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Pinetown (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

Attend trade shows and industry breakfasts to meet buyers.
Prospect new companies by phone, LinkedIn and walk-ins in business parks.
Log every lead, meeting and deal stage in the CRM.
Work with operations to hand over new clients smoothly.
Visit key accounts monthly and check how the service is going.
Respond to RFQs and tenders with complete supplier packs, including B-BBEE certificates.
Book and run discovery meetings with buyers and procurement managers.

You'll need

Solid presentation and negotiation skills
Valid driver's licence and your own reliable car
Confident with Excel, Outlook and a CRM
2 or more years of business-to-business sales with a proven record
You close deals, not just collect meetings

Nice if you have

An existing network of buyers in your sector
Salesforce, Zoho or HubSpot CRM experience
Tender and CSD registration experience

What's in it for you

Pension fund and medical aid contributions
Annual incentive trip for top performers
Car allowance and fuel card

Applying, step by step

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): proof of past sales performance, such as target letters or commission statements, copy of your driver's licence plus your qualifications.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pinetown.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Show target versus actual for each of your last three years; B2B managers skip CVs without numbers.
Prepare a 30-60-90 day plan for the territory and bring it to the second interview.
