About This Role
This is a frontline sales role within a major electronics manufacturer, requiring you to represent Transsion—the company behind popular mobile brands like Tecno, Itel, and Infinix—in the Ethiopian market. The job focuses on driving sales of mobile accessories and devices through direct customer engagement, cold calling, and relationship management. It suits a motivated sales professional who thrives on meeting targets and enjoys the fast-paced dynamics of the consumer electronics sector.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The listed qualifications point to a candidate who combines proven sales experience with product knowledge in mobile technology. Rather than simply listing academic credentials, the employer is looking for someone who can demonstrate a track record of closing deals, handling objections, and building repeat business. The emphasis on cold calling and networking suggests they value initiative and resilience over passive order-taking.
How to Approach This Application
Tailor your CV and cover letter to highlight specific sales achievements—such as exceeding monthly targets or expanding a customer base—rather than just listing duties. Emphasize any experience with mobile phones or accessories, even if informal, as this signals industry familiarity. Prepare to discuss how you handle rejection and maintain motivation, as cold calling is a core part of the role.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for an early-career salesperson with 1–3 years of experience who is comfortable with high-volume, target-driven work in a competitive retail environment. It is likely moderately competitive, given Transsion’s strong brand presence and the appeal of its product lines in Ethiopia.
