You're an accomplished sales representative with a strong technical understanding of electrical products and solutions. You thrive in a client-facing role, enjoy meeting targets, and take pride in offering exceptional service to both new and existing customers. You're comfortable presenting technical information, managing accounts, and providing solutions that build trust and drive revenue.

What you'll be doing
As an External Sales Representative, you'll play a key role in generating quality leads, preparing quotes, meeting sales budgets, and maintaining client relationships. You'll be responsible for visiting customers, offering product training, and supporting exhibitions. You'll also manage key accounts, handle technical queries and quotations, rotate customer stock, assist with repairs documentation, and respond to complaints in a professional and solutions-oriented manner. Internal reporting, sales record-keeping, and call planning will also form part of your day-to-day responsibilities. You'll work closely with management and support the sales team with dedication and flexibility, including after-hours client service when needed.

Where you'll be doing it
