The Company:
Our client is a well-recognized, 100% Kiwi-owned Service Industry leader, with a proud history of delivering exceptional outcomes for local communities across New Zealand. With over 500 employees and 10 branches nationwide, this company boasts a customer-first culture and a team-focused environment, where their people are their greatest asset.

They strongly support the work all kiwis are doing to create a space for future generations, and sustainability is at the heart of every decision they make.

The Opportunity:
They are expanding their business in the Manawatu region, and so are looking for a motivated hunter – someone who thrives on winning new business and creating new opportunities. (Preferably based in Palmerston North).

This is a new business focused role, with some account management, but the primary focus will be driving growth and securing new accounts. This means that you will need to get out of the office and talk to business customers in your territory……lots of them!

We’re looking for someone who thrives on prospecting for new business and enjoys being out in the field — knocking on doors and engaging with new businesses every day. (No email prospecting in this role, it's a true face-to-face sales role).

This company has invested in some amazing go-to-market strategies. The value proposition on offer is simply amazing, with some strong cost savings for their customers. Being able to offer a business cost savings is great.

We all like to save money!

Skills, Experience and Attributes required:

  • Enthusiastic salespeople with upbeat, likeable personalities.
  • Hunters who have cold calling sales experience (This is a must have).
  • Someone who enjoys getting out of the office and meeting new clients face to face.
  • Will put in the activity to see 10+ customers a day. No desk jockeys please!
  • Preference would be to have door knocking or field based cold calling sales experience.
  • Will actively pipeline customers who show interest but are on contracts, to revisit in the future.
  • Will talk to the little customers and have the confidence to present to the big ones as well.
  • A down to earth, roll up your sleeves attitude.
  • Hugely motivated to achieve, hit targets and earn commission.
  • You must have a full Driver’s license.


The Rewards:
A base salary of $75K- $80K + uncapped commission OTE $120K ++
A company car - full reasonable use
Great training and career advancement for those who shine.
A privately owned NZ company who supports their staff.

A motivated attitude is key in this role. Those who are active in their territories and will get out and visit lots of customers will do incredibly well. If you are a hardworking go-getter, who wants to deliver results…. then apply now.
