hire sales representatives in africa

You hire a sales representative when you want to reach more shops, offices or distributors than your current team can visit, or open a new area. A good salesperson builds trust with buyers, follows up without being pushy and brings in orders month after month.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Ask for concrete examples of clients they won and how.
  • Check they know your type of sale, whether field, phone, B2B or retail.
  • Look for discipline with a CRM or a simple visit report.
  • Run a short role play where they present one of your products.

Questions to ask in interview

  • Tell me about a customer who said no at first and bought later. What changed?
  • How do you organise your week to cover your area?
  • A client asks for a discount you cannot give. What do you say?

  • Negotiation
  • CRM tools
  • Product presentation
  • Field sales
  • Sales reporting in Excel
