The Role: Business Development Representative
As the Business Development Representative, your focus will be identifying and qualifying manufacturing companies in South Africa that could benefit from a powerful quoting and drawing automation tool. You'll conduct in-depth research, uncover customer pain points, and initiate relationships with key decision-makers.

- Build a pipeline of qualified leads including manufacturers, distributors, and resellers
- Conduct outreach via calls and emails to key decision-makers (e.g., estimators, production managers, directors)
- Coordinate and schedule product demos (delivered by the UK team) and prepare prospects for sessions
- Follow up with prospects post-demo to gather feedback, answer questions, and assist with next steps
- Maintain accurate records of all market data, conversations, and sales progress
- Provide weekly reports covering new opportunities, competitor tools, and market feedback
About You
- At least 1 year of experience in business development, sales, or lead generation
- Strong research and analytical skills, with the ability to uncover market trends and opportunities
- Excellent phone and written communication skills; able to build rapport quickly
- Highly organised and effective at follow-ups and CRM usage
- Self-motivated and able to work independently from a remote setup
- Comfortable collaborating with an international team working in UK hours
Advantageous:
