Experienced B2B account manager and appointment setter driving revenue through consultative outbound sales.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced B2B sales professional with over ten years in field sales, account management, and business development across retail, petroleum, food and beverage sectors. I consistently hit and exceeded targets, improved product placement and margins, and boosted monthly sales by 15–30% through targeted prospecting and effective client engagement.
I bring disciplined CRM use, pipeline management, and strong stakeholder engagement—comfortable working with senior decision-makers, handling objections, and positioning solutions based on real business needs. I have experience managing national accounts, coordinating promotions, and integrating marketing efforts to drive brand influence and execution in-store.
Remote-ready and results-driven, I value coaching, continuous improvement and clear performance metrics. I am motivated by roles with uncapped commission and direct impact on earnings, and I am prepared to work US business hours while contributing to team objectives and sales culture.
