Are you a well-connected sales professional in the hospitality industry with a passion for the premium spirits and wine sector?
We are looking for a high-energy, independent Sales Executive to take ownership of an established territory and drive a strategic expansion into the Pretoria region. While the territory is established, we are looking for a “hunter” to unlock the massive potential within the Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering (HORECA) sectors that have previously been under-serviced.
The Role
This is not a “desk job.” You will be the face of our brands on the ground, focusing on dominating the Pretoria market. Your mission is to move beyond simple order-taking and build deep, lasting partnerships with beverage managers, sommeliers, and hospitality owners.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive HORECA Growth: Identify and convert new business opportunities within hotels, fine-dining restaurants, and bars.
- Territory Management: Maintain existing accounts while aggressively pivoting the focus toward high-volume hospitality venues.
- Regional Travel: Manage a consistent weekly schedule.
- Brand Ambassadorship: Conduct tastings, staff training, and activations to ensure our portfolio is the first choice for your clients.
- Autonomy: Work independently to manage your pipeline, reporting directly on weekly targets and market trends.
What You Bring
- Industry Experience: Proven track record in the wine and spirits sector is essential.
- The Network: Existing relationships within the Pretoria hospitality and hotel sectors will give you a significant head start.
- Independence: You are a self-starter who thrives without micro-management.
- Mobility: Must have a valid driver’s license and your own reliable vehicle (this is non-negotiable).
- Resilience: Comfortable with the travel requirements and the pace of the hospitality industry.
What’s In It For You?
We believe in rewarding results. We offer a competitive package designed for a top-tier closer:
- Market-related Basic Salary.
- Car Allowance & Fuel Reimbursement.
- Uncapped, Highly Achievable Commission: A structure designed to significantly boost your earnings as you grow the HORECA segment.
How to Apply
If you have the “gift of the gab,” the industry experience, and the drive to own this territory, we want to hear from you.
Please send your CV and a brief cover letter highlighting your experience in the HORECA sector to Laurence@selhurst.co.za.
