About Auction Calendar

Auction Calendar is a growing digital platform connecting buyers with auctions across South Africa. We help auction companies get their properties, vehicles, agricultural assets, machinery and other auction items in front of the right audience.

We’re growing quickly and looking for a driven Sales Executive who can help us take that growth to the next level.

The Role

This is a hands-on sales role for someone who enjoys finding opportunities, starting conversations and turning prospects into clients.

You’ll be responsible for identifying potential auction companies and businesses, reaching out to decision-makers, understanding their marketing needs and showing them how Auction Calendar can help them reach more potential buyers.

You’ll manage the sales process from prospecting through to closing, while building long-term relationships with clients.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Identify and research potential clients and new business opportunities
• Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline
• Cold call, email and engage with prospective clients
• Connect with business owners, auctioneers, marketing managers and other decision-makers
• Present Auction Calendar’s advertising and marketing solutions
• Understand client objectives and recommend the right products or packages
• Follow up consistently and move prospects through the sales process
• Prepare quotes, proposals and sales presentations where required
• Maintain accurate records of prospects, leads and sales activity
• Work towards monthly sales and revenue targets
• Build strong, long-term relationships with existing and new clients
• Stay up to date with trends and developments within the auction and digital advertising industries

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is confident, commercially minded and not afraid to pick up the phone.

You should have:

• Proven experience in sales, business development or a similar role
• Strong prospecting and lead-generation skills
• Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
• The confidence to engage directly with business owners and decision-makers
• A results-driven approach and the ability to work towards targets
• Strong negotiation and closing skills
• Good organisational and follow-up skills
• Experience selling digital platforms, advertising, subscriptions, media or similar services will be an advantage
• A good understanding of the South African auction industry will be a bonus
• A professional, energetic and self-motivated approach

The Person

We’re not looking for someone who simply wants to process leads that land in their inbox.

We want someone who creates opportunities.

If you enjoy finding the right person, starting the conversation, figuring out what a business needs and ultimately winning the deal, you’ll fit in well here.

You’ll be joining a growing business where there is plenty of room to make an impact, develop your skills and grow with the company.

What We Offer

• A full-time, office-based position in Lyttelton Manor, Centurion
• The opportunity to work with a growing South African digital platform
• A dynamic, entrepreneurial working environment
• The opportunity to work directly with businesses across the auction industry
• Career growth as the company continues to expand
• A role where your performance has a direct and measurable impact on the business
