Job Description

Your pipeline, your territory, your commission: that is the deal at this industrial distributor in Randburg. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Randburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

Visit key accounts monthly and check how the service is going.
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.
Prospect new companies by phone, LinkedIn and walk-ins in business parks.
Forecast monthly sales and report pipeline value each Monday.

You'll need

Confident with Excel, Outlook and a CRM
Resilient enough to handle long sales cycles and rejection
Matric plus a sales, marketing or technical qualification
You close deals, not just collect meetings
2 or more years of business-to-business sales with a proven record

Helpful, not essential

A technical trade or engineering background for sales engineer roles
An existing network of buyers in your sector
Tender and CSD registration experience

What you get

Pension fund and medical aid contributions
Annual incentive trip for top performers
Car allowance and fuel card

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months), proof of past sales performance, such as target letters or commission statements plus copy of your driver's licence.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Randburg; 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.

Before you hit apply

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.
