Sales Executive

About

Linbro Park, Johannesburg

We are currently recruiting for a driven and commercially astute Sales Executive to join a well-established player in the power solutions and backup energy space.

This role is ideally suited to a true hunter — someone who thrives on opening doors, engaging at a senior level, and converting opportunities into long-term client relationships.

The Role

You will be responsible for identifying and securing new business opportunities across a variety of industries where power continuity is critical. Typical industries include Hospitals, Mines and Corporates.

Once a client is secured, you will retain ownership of the relationship — managing and growing the account over time.

The environment offers a mix of:

• High-value, once-off project deals
• Ongoing smaller transactional business

This creates a balanced role where strong upfront sales ability is key, supported by the ability to build lasting partnerships.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities
• Engage with decision-makers at C-suite and senior management level
• Conduct client meetings, needs analysis, and solution presentations
• Close deals and onboard new clients
• Manage and grow your client base post-sale
• Maintain a strong pipeline and consistently meet sales targets

What We’re Looking For

• Proven track record in external B2B sales
• Strong new business development experience (non-negotiable)
• Comfortable engaging at executive level (C-level)
• Ability to manage both once-off deals and ongoing client relationships
• Commercially savvy with strong closing ability
• Self-managed, proactive, and target-driven

Experience in technical, energy, electrical, or infrastructure-related sales will be advantageous (Battery storage technology and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems).

Exposure to cross-border / Africa markets is beneficial but not essential

Working Environment

• Office-based when not out meeting clients
• Johannesburg-based role (Linbro Park)
• Supportive team with a strong operational and technical backbone

If you’re someone who enjoys opening new doors but also building long-term client value, this role offers the best of both worlds.

Remuneration

Cost to Company salary in the range of R25 – 32K based on experience.

Travel reimburse at SARS rates and a log book must be kept.

Any country trip expenses will be covered by the company.

Good, lucrative commission structure which kicks in once 50% of target is achieved and maintained. Big figure commission can be achieved in this role.
