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
You close deals, not just collect meetings
Confident with Excel, Outlook and a CRM
Matric plus a sales, marketing or technical qualification
Valid driver's licence and your own reliable car
