Senior Sales Representative

Salary: R30,000-R35,000 basic salary, great benefits on top, and great commission and earning potential

Hire Sales is recruiting experienced and high-potential Senior Sales Representative for a fast-growing technology business supporting independent merchants across South Africa.

You will own your territory and be responsible for building a pipeline of new merchant opportunities. This is a consultative sales role where success comes from understanding the customer’s business, identifying pain points, and positioning the right solution.

You will be speaking to business owners, operators, managers and decision-makers across industries such as hospitality, retail, beauty, food services and other merchant-led environments.

• Prospect and build your own pipeline through outbound activity, referrals, networking and field visits.
• Identify and engage new merchant opportunities in your region.
• Run discovery conversations to understand operational and payment-related challenges.
• Present practical solutions that help businesses operate faster, simpler and smarter.
• Build trusted relationships with business owners and decision-makers.
• Manage the full sales cycle from first conversation to close.
• Work closely with internal support, enablement and onboarding teams.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline updates and forecasts.
• Deliver against monthly revenue, activation and growth targets.
• Share market insights and competitor feedback with the wider team.

This role is ideal for someone who has experience in or around point-of-sale, payments, hospitality, retail, merchant services or B2B sales.

You do not need a long corporate sales CV. What matters is that you understand how customer-facing businesses operate and that you can confidently sell, influence and build relationships.

• Experience in field sales, new business development, merchant sales, POS, payments, hospitality, retail, beauty, FMCG, telecoms, insurance, financial services or similar.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Confidence speaking to business owners and decision-makers.
• A hunter mindset with the ability to generate your own leads.
• High emotional intelligence and curiosity.
• The ability to listen first, understand the problem, and then present the right solution.
• Good CRM discipline and professional follow-through.
• A target-driven mindset and comfort working in the field.

We are looking for people who are energetic, commercially minded, coachable and self-driven. You should be comfortable being on the road, approaching new businesses, managing your own time and building a strong territory.

This is not a desk-only sales role. You will be in the market, meeting merchants, building trust and closing new business.

• Introductory screening call
• Technical and cultural interview
• Live sales or case-based assessment
• Final leadership conversation
• Background checks at final stage

Apply if you are a strong field salesperson, merchant-facing sales professional, hospitality operator, retail leader or someone with POS/payment exposure who wants to grow into a serious sales career, apply through Hire Sales.
