Job Description

Selling to companies takes patience; at this courier and freight company in Johannesburg CBD, big deals are worth the wait. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Johannesburg CBD-based, with most of your time spent at a courier and freight company.

What you'll actually do

Build quotes and proposals with correct pricing and margins.
Prospect new companies by phone, LinkedIn and walk-ins in business parks.
Visit key accounts monthly and check how the service is going.
Log every lead, meeting and deal stage in the CRM.
Attend trade shows and industry breakfasts to meet buyers.
Negotiate contract terms, rentals and service-level agreements.
Chase overdue accounts with the credit department before they grow.

What you need

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

On offer

Basic plus monthly commission on gross profit
Car allowance and fuel card
Annual incentive trip for top performers

How to apply for this job

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you 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, 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 9 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 Johannesburg CBD.

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.
Name the industries and deal sizes you have handled, not only your job titles.
