Job Description

You'll find, win and grow business clients for a packaging manufacturer in Cape Town CBD. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Cape Town CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

Work with operations to hand over new clients smoothly.
Attend trade shows and industry breakfasts to meet buyers.
Visit key accounts monthly and check how the service is going.
Book and run discovery meetings with buyers and procurement managers.
Build quotes and proposals with correct pricing and margins.
Negotiate contract terms, rentals and service-level agreements.
Forecast monthly sales and report pipeline value each Monday.

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

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

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): copy of your driver's licence, a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) plus your qualifications.
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 10 working days, usually by phone.
