SALES EXECUTIVES AT THE MFK TEAM

IS THIS FOR YOU?

[All that you need to know is here so you would not have to wait for us to inbox you. Do pick what you want to read and move on along further.]

JOB DESCRIPTION

It is not a cushy job nor one that we can pass off as a poor substitute for hard work.

You will be responsible for two things:

Firstly, educating and enrolling new customers in your sales zones and develop a following for the company brand and our products so as to eventually establish consumer brand loyalty. This will be achieved by selling the products directly to the customers (Direct selling).

Secondly, the successful candidate must also be able to articulate both the sensory experience and the business value of our food products and position them in competitive scenarios directly with customers.

If you have had previous experiences in the hospitality industry and wish to expand your professional experiences to include direct experiences with customers or already have one, this may be the job for you!

The job is therefore a cross between being in part a sales executive and in part chef. We therefore expect our sales executives to dress the part and be willing to don an attire (with a light blue long sleeved cotton shirt and black-coloured pants with the red MFK chef attire).

A sharpened business acumen, combined with disciplined focus and hard work can mean only one thing for you: Good rewards.

We are looking for persons who can strategically realize our sales goals so that you can start taking home 120 pula commissions per day (within 3 months), six days a week.

And we know you are out there. If you think it is you, please apply.

WHO WE ARE

We are a food production company with a full suite of My Farmhouse Kitchens (MFK) Savoury and Sweet food products that is led by our very own scrumptious signature product My Farmhouse Curry Puffs (https://www.facebook.com/MyFarmhouseCurryPuff?ref_type=bookmark). The product appeals to all types of customers (https://www.facebook.com/MyFarmhouseKitchens).

We currently work at retailing our products directly to our customers in the private sector with the potential to see demand grow in the medium term through city and national distribution channels.

As our products become more widely known and as the brand matures we envision growth happen through investors in the MFK franchised sale outlets countrywide (and eventually the region and the continent).

SELECTION CRITERIA

We are therefore currently looking for suitably qualified incumbents with the following criteria. You:
- Are between 24 to 34 years old
- MUST HAVE TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE either as an assistant chef or as a waitress or sales executive in a high-contact / short cycles sales industry and an aptitude and a willingness to learn! If you have a marketing qualification but have not gained field experience, this job will overwhelm you. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated:
- An ability to work with executive level stakeholders
- He / she is a self-starter and driver, is highly motivated. Must be performance driven with the ability to excel in a competitive and entrepreneurial environment and be willing to work with fluctuating financial positions.
- Ability to take rejections and objections and failures in his stride and learn to move on keeping his personal and company sales goals in sight at all times
