Field Sales Representative-Syokimau

Role Overview

This is a hands-on, street-level sales role for someone who is comfortable spending the day out in the market rather than behind a desk. You will be the face of our building materials range across Syokimau and the surrounding neighbourhoods, building relationships with the people who actually specify and buy on site — contractors, fundis, foremen and home builders. Your work directly drives order volume, so how well you cover your territory and follow up on leads each day has a visible impact on the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Move through your assigned territory daily, calling on building contractors, fundis, foremen, home builders and other prospective buyers of building materials.
• Present and promote our product range to customers, explaining what is available and helping them match materials to the job at hand.
• Convert conversations into confirmed orders, following up on quotes, enquiries and repeat business until the sale is closed.
• Keep track of what customers are asking for, which products are moving, and how competitor pricing or availability is affecting demand in the area.
• Report market feedback, customer complaints and emerging demand patterns to your supervisor so stock and pricing decisions stay grounded in reality.
• Work towards agreed daily and weekly sales targets, reviewing your own numbers and adjusting your route or approach to stay on track.
• Maintain a reliable pipeline of contacts, keeping records of the customers you visit and the status of each opportunity.
• Represent the business professionally at all times — punctual, presentable and honest in every customer interaction.

Requirements & Qualifications

• 1–2 years of hands-on experience in field sales, retail sales, or working within a hardware environment.
• KCSE / Form Four certificate. A sales or business-related qualification is an added advantage.
• Strong working knowledge of Syokimau and the surrounding areas, including the routes, trading centres and building sites where customers operate.
• Confident verbal communication in Kiswahili, with basic English for written and spoken interactions.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision, managing your own daily schedule and territory.
• Demonstrated honesty and integrity, with the energy and resilience to keep prospecting through a full day in the field.
• Comfortable approaching strangers, opening conversations and handling objections without losing momentum.

What We Offer / Why Join

• A field-based role with real autonomy — you plan your own day and own your territory.
• Clear daily and weekly targets so you always know how your performance is being measured.
• Direct exposure to the building materials trade and the chance to build a long-term network of contractors and fundis in a growing area.
