  • Client Relationship Management: Build strong, trust-based relationships with homeowners, architects, and contractors, ensuring the company remains their vendor of choice.
  • Technical Problem Solving: Evaluate architectural layouts on-site to recommend optimal conversion designs (converting timber/steel to modern low-maintenance aluminium).
  • Deal Execution & Service Excellence: Manage the end-to-end sales cycle-from initial consultation and site measurement to quoting and post-installation client check-ins.
  • Commercial Administration: Keep pipeline data up to date, maintain accurate sales reports, and manage client records professionally.

What We're Looking For (Requirements)

  • Experience: Minimum 5 years of proven sales track record in the construction, building materials, architectural products, or industrial sector.
  • Product Knowledge: Solid understanding of residential/commercial building products (doors, windows, patio enclosures, security barriers, or glazing systems).

  • Mobility: Valid, unendorsed South African driver's license and your own reliable vehicle (essential).
