These solutions will require you to stretch your complex problem-solving brain and tap into your creativity and lateral-thinking abilities.

Applicants must possess a suitable tertiary qualification with 2+ years’ relevant working experience (Marketing or Business background highly advantageous) including proven sales experience essential in a target-driven environment.

Helping them avoid potential pitfalls and overcome obstacles

…and in doing the above, you’ll need to ensure that you do the following :

Build lead lists, generate new leads and opportunities and build relationships with new clients.

Prepare your own proposals and presentations.

Negotiate and close sales of varying degrees of complexity, scope and value.

Demonstrate advanced awareness of the digital economy, Learning and Development trends and “burning issues” affecting prospective clients, their sectors and the market at large.

Become fully conversant in matters relating to B-BBEE (especially relating to Skills Development).

Develop a deep understanding of courses, so that you can meaningfully engage with prospective clients and identify courses which suit their needs.

Proven sales experience essential in a target-driven environment.

Skill in organising time and establishing priorities.

ATTRIBUTES :

Strong work ethic and ability to adapt to the fast pace of the business.

Your sales strengths – You are a “Hunter” – a natural, talented salesperson who was born to sell. You must be hungry, competitive and obsessed with targets – second best just isn’t good enough. Natural sales inclination and confidence. We believe that while sales skills can be learned, a desire and willingness to sell is essential.

Serious smarts are non-negotiable. Our clients expect excellence from us, and our students are professional, intelligent and driven, and they value high intelligence – both intellectual and emotional – in our people.

A growth mindset and a “can-do” attitude. People with a growth mindset “tend to thrive on challenges and embrace failure as a mechanism for learning and development”. They constantly question the world and their place within it and look for opportunities to improve themselves and their environments around them.

Constant curiosity and hunger for learning.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Not only is communication one of the most important elements of this role, but you are also an ambassador.

Professionalism, patience and kindness. Dealing with people day in and day out can be taxing, and it takes a particular kind of person to keep calm, cheerful and effective.

Ability to work in a team, and to work under pressure.
