1. Sales & Customer Acquisition: Drive retail sales, develop new customer bases, identify export opportunities, promote internal products, and understand product specifications to meet customer needs.
2. Customer Relationship Management: Build and maintain long-term relationships, guide customers through the purchase process, and encourage repeat business.
3. Sales Administration & Delivery: Ensure accurate documentation, coordinate vehicle deliveries, secure payments, and conduct necessary assessments.

• Maximum experience in vehicle/used truck sales, preferably in a retail environment.
• Knowledge of local and international compliance requirements.
• Experience with CRM systems and Microsoft Office.
• Formal qualification in sales and marketing (essential).
• Technical diploma (desirable).
• 5-8 years of sales experience, especially in commercial truck sales.
