Job Description

Selling to companies takes patience; at this industrial distributor in Durban Central, big deals are worth the wait. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

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

Prospect new companies by phone, LinkedIn and walk-ins in business parks.
Work with operations to hand over new clients smoothly.
Build quotes and proposals with correct pricing and margins.
Visit key accounts monthly and check how the service is going.
Negotiate contract terms, rentals and service-level agreements.

You'll need

Confident with Excel, Outlook and a CRM
Resilient enough to handle long sales cycles and rejection
Valid driver's licence and your own reliable car
Solid presentation and negotiation skills
You close deals, not just collect meetings

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your qualifications plus proof of past sales performance, such as target letters or commission statements.
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.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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