Business Development Executive (Field Sales)

You will be the person our clients and prospects meet. You visit companies in Lagos that sell through field teams, sit with their owners and sales heads, show them what our app would do for a team like theirs, and stay close to them after they sign.

What you will do

  • Visit owners, sales heads and operations heads at companies with field teams, and show them the app using examples from their own business.
  • Turn first meetings into second ones. Write down what each company needs and bring it back to the team the same day.
  • Be there in person when a client rolls the app out, and help their reps get started on it in their first weeks.
  • Visit the clients we already work with, hear what is working and what is not, and bring that back too.
  • Record your own visits and conversations in our app, the same way we ask our clients’ teams to.

What you need

  • At least two years selling to businesses face to face. Pharma, FMCG, insurance, banking or software sales all count.
  • You are as comfortable presenting to a managing director as to a room of field reps.
  • You live in Lagos and can get around the city most days.
  • You write clearly in English. Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa helps.

What we offer

A salary plus commission on the clients you bring in, both discussed at the first interview. You will learn how a software product is designed and built from the people building it, and you will have a direct line to the founders.
