Business Development & Network:
Leverage your understanding of the local market to build a robust sales pipeline and identify high-potential merchants.
Maintain and grow a personal network of B2B traders, service providers, and industry associations to generate leads and build partnerships.
Explore hands-on social media-driven customer acquisition strategies to supplement traditional sales channels.
Communication & Reporting:
Clearly communicate company strategy, policy updates, and product developments to the team in a timely manner.
Act as the bridge between the frontline team and upper management by providing regular reports on team performance, market feedback, and competitive intelligence to support strategic decision-making.
Qualifications:
Education: Associate degree or above
Management Experience: Minimum 2+ years of sales management experience, with a proven track record of successfully leading a team of at least 5 members.
