Excellent basic salary + commission + Fleet card for fuel + Cell + Laptop + Expense card for business.

  • Experience managing end-to-end sales cycles – from prospecting to proposals, negotiation, and securing orders.
  • Comfort with high activity levels – cold calling, daily client visits, pipeline management.

  • Proven track record of achieving sales targets, ideally in capital equipment, power solutions, industrial machinery, or similar sectors.
  • Demonstrated experience in generating leads and securing new accounts.
  • Exposure to generators, construction equipment, industrial machinery, or related industries.

  • Independent and self-motivated, yet collaborative in team environments.
  • Energetic, resilient, and willing to go above and beyond.

Responsibilities, but not limited to:

  • Prospect for new clients via cold calling, networking, and on-site visits.
  • Build and maintain a strong sales pipeline and update CRM systems regularly.
  • Present solutions to clients through proposals and product demonstrations.
  • Handle negotiations and manage the deal-closing process.
  • Deliver against monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets.
  • Develop and maintain strong client relationships at multiple levels.
  • Provide post-sale support to ensure smooth implementation (without acting as a technical specialist).
  • Report on sales activity, forecasts, and market trends to management.
