Selling to companies takes patience; at this conference and events venue in Upington, big deals are worth the wait. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at a conference and events venue in Upington. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

Attend trade shows and industry breakfasts to meet buyers.
Forecast monthly sales and report pipeline value each Monday.
Work with operations to hand over new clients smoothly.
Chase overdue accounts with the credit department before they grow.

Must-haves

Confident with Excel, Outlook and a CRM
Resilient enough to handle long sales cycles and rejection
Matric plus a sales, marketing or technical qualification
Solid presentation and negotiation skills

What you get

Pension fund and medical aid contributions
Basic plus monthly commission on gross profit
Cellphone contract and laptop

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months), your qualifications plus proof of past sales performance, such as target letters or commission statements.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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

Name the industries and deal sizes you have handled, not only your job titles.
Show target versus actual for each of your last three years; B2B managers skip CVs without numbers.
