Business Development Consultant - East Coast (Durban)
Thousands of trucks move through KZN’s ports and freight corridors every day. How many fleet owners know what’s happening inside the cab?
Most fleets only find out about risky driving after the crash: distraction, fatigue, no seatbelt, near-misses. We’re working with a global fleet safety technology business that flags these risks in real time. They combine AI-powered in-cab cameras and fatigue detection with a human review team that alerts fleet managers within minutes. The business is growing fast, with new markets opening in Europe and the Middle East.
They’re hiring a New Business Sales Consultant for the East Coast territory. The role is based in Durban and covers KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. It’s a hunting role: you’ll open doors with trucking, logistics, mining and passenger transport fleets that aren’t customers yet. You’ll own each deal from first conversation through to contract and installation, then hand the account to the customer success team.
REQUIRED PROFILE
- Proven B2B new business sales: you’ve won new logos, not just grown existing accounts
- You own the full cycle: prospecting, qualifying, writing proposals, negotiating and closing
- You sell on value: you show customers the operational and financial results, rather than reaching for a discount
- You keep your CRM and forecasting disciplined
- Comfortable with longer sales cycles that involve several stakeholders
- Confident talking to business owners, fleet managers and senior decision-makers
- Able to explain a technical solution in clear commercial terms
- Polished and confident without being pushy, and genuinely coachable
Please note: this role isn’t a fit for retail, promo, high-volume transactional or account management backgrounds.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in fleet, telematics, automotive, logistics, SaaS or security/monitoring tech
- You don’t need a technical background
WHY THIS ROLE
- A basic salary well above the market for consultant-level seats
- Sell technology that measurably prevents crashes, with a purpose built around getting every driver home safely
- Work directly with a Chief Revenue Officer who has led telematics sales at global level
- The stability of an established, listed group plus the energy of an international growth push
Compensation: R40 000 - R50 000 basic per month + commission
