Sales Manager (Remote / SaaS / Regional / Strategy) – Cape Town, South Africa

Reference Number: SF30

Job Description:

An exciting Software client of ours in the tracking space is seeking to hire a Sales Lead to manage sales operations for them in the EMEA region. The client is proud to offer innovative (SaaS) products that meet the needs and wants of a global clientele in last mile delivery management. To spur their growth in this high-demand sector, they are in search of an experienced sales manager to lead their team to achieve record sales target.  As an ideal candidate, you are a highly skilled sales driver with the energy and experience in guiding a team to capture sales leads and convert them in a fast-moving high velocity funnel.

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for the sales of the organization’s E-POD and ElasticRoute to corporate customers in crossed sectors.
• Strategic sales planning and management.
• Prospecting and building sales pipelines of new corporate customers for self-serve and larger dedicated accounts.
• Work closely with partners to build a network of contacts in key market verticals, to produce opportunities.
  • Analyze markets, detect targets, and explore new business opportunities, formulate account development plans and sales strategies for penetrating into the market.
• Manage and lead the whole sales cycle from sales opportunity, pipelines to contracts.
• To develop long-term, strong executive level relationships and drive customer excitement.
• Meet sales targets.

Requirements:

• Strong understanding of software / SaaS.
• Is inside sales driven, not old school visiting clients and door knocking.
  • Is clear on inbound and sales funnels they have experienced, how those funnels convert (SQL -> deal -> conversion, size, sales cycle, differentiation inbound vs outbound).
  • Has sold to SMEs / mid-size businesses (i.e., high velocity, not spending all their time writing 2 tenders a year for large organizations but can occasionally submit a more formal proposal if they and management decide it is worth spending the time on this).
  • Familiar with an environment where majority of sales are self-service, but a minority need demos, so lead segmentation is critical (bigger leads -> sales assisted via self-service/trial or into demo; smaller leads -> self-service/trial, product activated as low touch).
• Has a good understanding of CRM workflows and segmentation, can help build / refine a HubSpot workflow.
• Has a good manner, personable, an alpha but not jarringly aggressive. 
• Some experience with outbound, in a structured fashion.
