Our Cape Town delivery team, based in a super cool Kloof Street office is a rapidly expanding team of 15 and will be 30 by the end of 2017.
Over the last twelve month we have invented two unique social media marketing solutions that are proving to be extremely successful in helping our conference and trade show clients to increase event registrations and visitor numbers at a fraction of the cost of their other marketing channels.
We are looking for two Business Development Managers to help drive sales of these solutions into the UK and USA event industry.

- Alternatively you MUST have 2+ years of B2B telesales experience with a proven closing track record
- We are looking for people with awesome communication skills – both written and verbal
- An excellent understanding of social media (although extensive training will be given)
What you will get from us:
The ability to earn long term, compounding commission for the lifetime of a client
- Once you have sold a client our Account Managers/Client Services team will manage and nurture the ongoing client relationship (you get paid commission on ALL business) so you can focus on new business and earning potential
- Our marketing team will help to generate new business inquires
- Slick social selling processes with awesome supporting technology (CRM/email tracking) to help maximise your closing rates and earning potential
- Extensive Social Selling, Social Media and B2B Training
