SENIOR SALES ADVISOR – PartsCity 13 views

Employers typically look for a Grade 12 certificate plus a relevant diploma or certificate in sales, marketing, or business administration. At least three to five years of sales experience, preferably in automotive parts or a related technical field, is usually expected.

You would handle customer enquiries, identify the correct parts, prepare quotations, and follow up on orders to close sales. The role also includes mentoring junior sales staff, resolving customer complaints, and maintaining strong relationships with workshops and fleet clients.

Namibian sales environments value punctuality, professional communication, and a proactive approach to meeting targets. Building long-term trust with customers is important, so patience and consistent follow-up are highly regarded.

From Senior Sales Advisor, you could progress to Branch Supervisor, Sales Manager, or Key Accounts Manager depending on performance and available vacancies. Gaining product knowledge and leadership skills can also open doors into regional or national sales roles.

Typical benefits may include annual leave, medical aid, and a pension or provident fund contribution, though this varies by employer. Some companies also offer sales commission, a vehicle allowance, or staff discounts on parts.

Submit a concise CV with a clear summary of your sales achievements, product knowledge, and any automotive parts experience, along with certified copies of your qualifications. Employers look for a stable work history, a valid driver’s licence, and references that confirm your ability to meet sales targets.
