Sales Development Representative (Contract) – Toy / Educational Product Sales

Are you a motivated sales professional with a knack for building relationships and a passion for toys or educational products? We are looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) on a 3‑month contract to help sell bulk quantities of Rubik’s Cubes across South Africa.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Generation & Outreach : Research and identify potential customers (toy stores, book / stationery shops, school networks, creches, educational centers, corporate gift companies, etc.) who would benefit from purchasing Rubik’s Cubes in bulk. Initiate contact via phone, email, and LinkedIn to introduce our product offering.
• Sales Presentations : Effectively communicate the value of Rubik’s Cubes to each target segment. For example, explain the educational benefits to schools and creches, the retail appeal and profit margin to shop owners, or the branding potential to corporate clients. Tailor your pitch to the audience.
• Deal Negotiation : Convert leads into sales by negotiating pricing and terms for bulk orders. You’ll have flexibility to offer volume discounts and discuss commissionable deals. Work toward closing as many bulk sales as possible within the 3‑month period.
• Account Management : Once a client is interested, guide them through the ordering process. Ensure excellent customer service – answer any questions about the product (specifications of the Rubik’s Cubes, delivery logistics, etc.), and follow up on leads diligently. Build relationships that could lead to repeat orders.
• Reporting : Keep track of your outreach and sales pipeline. Provide weekly updates on progress, including leads contacted, responses, deals in negotiation, and sales closed. Since this is a short‑term project, maintaining clear records is important for measuring success. You’ll report to the project owner / founder with results and insights.
