We are an ABCD (Agile, Bold, Connected, and Dynamic) organization where entrepreneurship thrives and boundaries are broken. Our workplace culture is anchored on ownership, energetic collaboration, and high accountability. We don’t believe in just filling roles; we believe in finding cultural matches who live our values every single day. The Role: Sales Representatives (2 Vacancies – Wholesale Specialists) Location: Lusaka, Zambia 🇿🇲 Primary Trading Hubs: Kamwala, Chaisa, Soweto, and Freedom Way Department: Commercial Division Reports To: Sales and Ops Supervisor Reference Number: BA/CM/005/26 Are you someone who: Walks into a chaotic wholesale market and immediately identifies key high-volume traders and shelf space opportunities? Can navigate high-turnover trading hubs like Soweto and Kamwala while strategically routing your calls to maximize bulk sales? Has the commercial grit to manage fast-paced wholesale transactions, complex breakage claims, and physically chase down overdue store debt? Is a high-energy extrovert who thrives on the hustle of informal and formal trading networks but delivers weekly, data-backed results? If you answered yes, you are exactly who we want. Performance Indicators & Cultural Fit Performance Metrics Wholesale Target Mastery: Meeting aggressive quarterly product volume quotas while avoiding the traps of under-stocking (losing floor space to competitors) or over-stocking. The 100x100x100 Standard: Securing 100% of agreed bulk stock lines, in 100% of designated wholesale and retail outlets, 100% of the time. Rigorous Reporting Lifecycle: Generating and tracking accurate Weekly Sales Analyses, Fortnightly Sales Trackers (by customer and SKU), and Monthly Reports for the Sales and Ops Supervisor.

You ensure shelf and floor presentations are immaculate, pricing modules comply with agreed structures, and corrective actions are raised instantly. Quality Control & Credit Support You will visit high-turnover outlets to inspect quarantined stock for poor packaging or water damage, negotiating fair claims. Because cash flow is king, you will collaborate directly with Credit Control to physically visit and clear overdue debtor accounts before writing new orders.

You will apply collaborative conflict resolution to fix customer complaints and supply-chain friction points rapidly.

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for BRANDS AFRICA, prove you meet les compétences demandées dans l'annonce by naming a specific sales target you exceeded—like "beat quarterly quota by 20%." Numbers show results, not just activity.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Prospecting and results — Your new clients acquired and conversion rate are your strongest arguments. Show your detailed knowledge of local distributors and key players.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
