Sales Executive

Bridgement is breaking down the barriers to access finance for small businesses in South Africa. Traditional loans from banks and other lenders have a slow application process, have strict criteria, require a lot of documentation, and inflexible terms. In contrast, we use cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to offer flexible finance online, with a 2-minute application, no documentation required, and a decision in a matter of hours. We’re a well-funded fintech start-up, backed by Capricorn and the greater Yellowwoods group, best known for their investments in and ownership of Nandos, Hollard, Clientèle, Direct Axis, and Budget Group. Having won several awards recently, including Xero’s App of the Year award, we are proud to be recognised by worldwide brands as a trusted and valued business.

As a Sales Executive you’ll be bringing on new customers sourced from your own network as well as from Bridgement’s variety of new-business channels. You will need to understand our customers’ commercial needs and help them obtain the finance they need to grow their businesses.

You will be:

• Selling our business finance solution to a wide range of SMEs in South Africa.
• Building a pipeline of prospects and engaging and building trust with them.
• Researching, calling, meeting with and/or demoing to clients.
• Driving and closing on new-business leads as well as repeat-business from existing customers.
• Assisting new customers with completing their applications, pre-screening them, obtaining missing documentation, and ensuring completeness of applications.
• Working independently and in charge of your own time and how you spend it.
• Responsible for meeting monthly sales targets.
• Using our analytical and CRM systems to manage, track and communicate with customers.
