About This Role
This is a ground-floor sales role within a well-established family business that has expanded from coffee into a diversified corporate group. You’ll be expected to drive revenue for Horra’s garment division, operating out of their Hayle Garment location. It’s suited for a junior professional who is ready to represent a brand with deep entrepreneurial roots and who thrives on direct client interaction rather than back-office support.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The 1–3 years experience range suggests the company wants someone who has already learned basic sales fundamentals and can hit the ground running—but doesn’t need to be a seasoned manager. The emphasis is on practical selling ability, not theory. They are likely looking for candidates who combine local market knowledge with the discipline to follow structured sales processes, since the company’s growth story shows they value consistency and hard work over flashy credentials.
How to Approach This Application
In your application, connect your sales experience to results—mention specific targets you’ve met or exceeded, especially in retail or FMCG settings. Since Horra values its heritage of diligence and generational success, highlight your own work ethic and any instances where you persisted to close a deal or build a client base. Avoid generic claims; instead, give concrete examples of how you’ve contributed to revenue growth or customer retention.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best for a motivated early-career salesperson who wants to grow with a reputable Ethiopian company that rewards effort. Competition will be moderate—entry-level sales jobs in Addis attract many applicants, but your chances improve if you show you understand the company’s story and can link your experience to their values.
