About This Role
This is a frontline sales role where you act as the face of a premium brand in Addis Ababa’s office solutions market. It suits someone who thrives on direct customer interaction and can smoothly transition from greeting walk-ins to closing deals. The company, National Marketers PLC, expects you to maintain a polished showroom environment while consistently hitting sales targets — blending hospitality with hustle.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The job seeks a professional who can balance sales pressure with customer service finesse. Rather than just listing product knowledge, the requirements hint at a need for strong interpersonal skills and the ability to read client needs quickly. Experience in retail or B2B sales within Ethiopia is implied, even if not explicitly demanded, since local market familiarity matters for closing deals with business owners and procurement officers.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your application on concrete examples of converting walk-in customers into repeat buyers or meeting revenue targets in a previous role. Emphasize any experience with premium products or high-end clientele, as this suggests you can maintain the showroom’s professional image. The employer will likely prioritize candidates who can demonstrate resilience under sales pressure and a knack for upselling — so highlight those moments in your cover letter.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for energetic junior sales professionals with 1-3 years of experience who enjoy face-to-face selling and can handle daily quotas. It is moderately competitive, as the premium brand and clear career path appeal to many, but strong interpersonal skills and a local network will set you apart.
The Role
As a Sales Executive, you will be the first point of contact for customers visiting our showroom, serving as the bridge between our premium office solutions and our clients' needs. You will create a welcoming and professional environment where business owners and procurement officers feel confident in our products and services. The role is also responsible for supporting the day-to-day operations of National Marketers PLC's showrooms, ensuring they operate as high-standard retail destinations for walk-in customers.
