This is a high -impact role designed for a commercially astute Business Development Manager to inherit and revitalise a portfolio of established key accounts, including major service providers, resellers, and distributors. This is a permanent, full -time role and is a split between the Gauteng office and active time on the road with your national key accounts.

Responsibilities

  • Portfolio Growth & Revitalisation: Identify and capture new revenue streams within an existing corporate account base, expanding the footprint into untapped departments.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Navigate complex organisational structures to build multi -level relationships, moving beyond procurement to engage Technical, Operations, and Executive decision -makers.
  • Solution -Based Selling: Transition customers from product -centric transactions to value -based solutions that solve operational pain points and meet specific Service Level Requirements (SLRs).
  • AI -Driven Sales Execution: Leverage internal AI intelligence systems to provide market -leading response times and high -accuracy technical quoting.
  • Commercial Management: Take full accountability for monthly targets, gross profit margins, cost -to -serve metrics, and conversion ratios.
  • Market Intelligence: Monitor competitor pricing, shelf -space trends, and movements to maintain a dominant market share within your assigned accounts.
  • Strategic Activity: Maintain a high -cadence sales rhythm, ensuring all opportunities and client interactions are managed with transparency and professional discipline.


Requirements



  • Experience: 5–10 years of successful B2B sales experience within ICT Distribution, the Technology Channel, MRO, or Industrial Distribution.
  • Track Record: Proven ability to significantly grow revenue and expand market share within an inherited corporate portfolio (Account Mining).
  • Financial Acumen: Deep understanding of GP margins, pricing for value, and the commercial metrics of high -volume distribution.
  • Tech -Forward Mindset: A genuine curiosity for technology and the ability to use digital tools/data to drive commercial negotiations.
  • Attributes: High integrity, professional transparency, and a self -driven "early -to -market" work ethic that aligns with a high -performance culture.
  • Mobility: Based in Gauteng with a valid driver’s license and own reliable vehicle; willingness to travel nationally as required.






Benefits

  • Market -Related Base: Negotiable based on experience.
  • Aggressive Commission: Heavily weighted toward growth and new revenue within the portfolio.
  • Allowances: Competitive travel allowance plus petrol reimbursement.
  • Technology: Access to industry -leading AI tools to streamline workflow and increase earning potential.
