- Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, referral partners, and industry stakeholders
- Represent the company at site visits, client meetings, and industry events (largely field-based work)
- Track pipeline and sales activity, and report on progress against targets
- Lay the foundation for a future sales team, including process and structure, as the business scales
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field
5-10 years’ experience in sales, business development, or a related field
Demonstrated passion for sales and a proven track record of winning and closing business
Self-starter who can operate independently and take ownership of results
Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills
Comfortable with a field-based, target-driven role
Experience in furniture, interiors, construction, or building materials is an added advantage, but not required
What’s on Offer
Competitive fixed salary plus commission on sales
Genuine ownership of the sales function with room to shape and grow it
Opportunity to build and eventually lead a sales team.
