Success Guide
This is a great opportunity if you already have some technical sales experience and want to work independently on the road. When you apply, focus your CV on your external sales wins, especially any deals you closed in industrial or mining settings. Be ready to talk about cold calling targets you have hit and how you build long term client relationships. In interviews for this kind of role, employers often ask you to describe a time you turned a cold lead into a sale, so have a clear example ready. Also make sure your driver's licence and own vehicle details are easy to find on your CV. If you do not have your own car yet, you may want to confirm with the recruiter before applying.
