Job Description

Out on the road for a pet food manufacturer in Benoni, your car is your office and the store floor is your pitch. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The work is in Benoni, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

Open new accounts with taverns, spazas and independent retailers.
Set up promotional displays and check planogram compliance with photos.
Handle returns and credit claims for damaged stock.
Run in-store tastings and demos on month-end weekends.
Track competitor pricing and new products in your area.

Must-haves

A valid Code 08 (Code B) driver's licence, for rep roles
Good with people from store managers to tuck-shop owners
You know the townships, suburbs and main roads of your area
1 to 3 years of FMCG, merchandising or route sales experience
Comfortable with a smartphone sales app and WhatsApp reporting

Nice if you have

Your own reliable car for a car-allowance position
Existing relationships with independent retailers

On offer

Branded uniform and safety boots
Cellphone and data allowance
Product samples and staff pricing
