Job Description

Selling to companies takes patience; at this conference and events venue in Newcastle, big deals are worth the wait. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work, day to day

Negotiate contract terms, rentals and service-level agreements.
Attend trade shows and industry breakfasts to meet buyers.
Book and run discovery meetings with buyers and procurement managers.
Visit key accounts monthly and check how the service is going.
Forecast monthly sales and report pipeline value each Monday.
Prospect new companies by phone, LinkedIn and walk-ins in business parks.
Chase overdue accounts with the credit department before they grow.

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

An existing network of buyers in your sector
Salesforce, Zoho or HubSpot CRM experience

On offer

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