AFRICAN TRIBUNE NEWS [ATN]
@africantribunenewsat
I am a results-driven sales executive specializing in paint, adhesives and construction materials sales.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven sales executive with 13+ years of proven success in the paint, adhesives, and construction materials industry across Nairobi and surrounding regions. I specialize in B2B and B2C sales, market expansion, and key account management.
In my current role I drive B2B sales of industrial adhesives (PU foam, wood glue, hot-melt), expand dealer networks, and deliver technical product consultations to construction firms, hardware distributors and furniture manufacturers. I collaborate with logistics and production teams to ensure timely deliveries and inventory alignment, and I lead product demonstrations for industrial buyers.
Previously I secured contracts with real-estate developers and contractors in Kilimani, Kileleshwa and Syokimau, built relationships with architects and project managers to influence product specifications and bidding, and trained distributor teams to improve market penetration. I also expanded market reach by signing 15+ hardware stores and negotiated bulk supply agreements to secure repeat business.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sales & Marketing and a Diploma in IT, and I am proficient with Salesforce, HubSpot, Excel and PowerPoint. I seek senior sales opportunities where I can grow revenue, scale dealer networks, and apply technical product expertise within a collaborative, growth-oriented company.
