Job Description

This conference and events venue in Montague Gardens wants someone who can open doors and keep accounts for years. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Montague Gardens-based, with most of your time spent at a conference and events venue. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

Work with operations to hand over new clients smoothly.
Negotiate contract terms, rentals and service-level agreements.
Log every lead, meeting and deal stage in the CRM.
Build quotes and proposals with correct pricing and margins.
Attend trade shows and industry breakfasts to meet buyers.
Chase overdue accounts with the credit department before they grow.

You'll need

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

On offer

Pension fund and medical aid contributions
Annual incentive trip for top performers
Car allowance and fuel card
Basic plus monthly commission on gross profit

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, your qualifications plus a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Montague Gardens; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

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.
