- Follow up consistently with potential and existing accounts to maximize sales opportunities.
- Coordinate with internal teams regarding product availability, pricing, orders, and deliveries.
- Monitor sales performance and account development to achieve monthly and quarterly targets.
- Identify market opportunities, competitor activities, and customer needs within the beauty market.
- Conduct regular business trips and offline visits to develop accounts outside Jakarta.

- Ensure excellent customer experience and continuously strengthen account relationships.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Management, or a related field.
- Minimum 2 years of experience in sales, business development, or account management.
- Experience handling Traditional Trade, resellers, distributors, or offline retail accounts is highly preferred.
- Strong sales ability with proven skills in prospecting, pitching, negotiation, and closing.
- Highly persuasive with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Extroverted, confident, and comfortable speaking with different types of customers and business owners.
- Strong personal charm and the ability to build trust and rapport quickly.
- Resilient, persistent, and not easily discouraged by rejection.
- Willing and able to travel frequently to cities across Indonesia.
- Strong time management and organizational skills.
- Detail-oriented and able to manage multiple accounts, orders, and follow-ups simultaneously.
- Well-presented, confident, and professional in appearance.
- Comfortable working in a target-driven and fast-paced environment.
Nice to Have

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who doesn't wait for opportunities — you create them.
If you're the type of person who enjoys meeting new people, loves the thrill of closing a deal, can bounce back after rejection, and isn't afraid to travel to find the next big account, we'd love to hear from you.
