Sales & Marketing Representative. But a different kind.

At Tristar, we’ve worked for more than 20 years providing Tech support and solutions for medium to small-sized businesses. We pride ourselves on the relationships we hold, that our customers trust us with the quality of service as well as their IT and Tech-based needs. We know our solutions are good because many departing customers return to us. For us, now is the time to focus on growing our business.

To expand we are looking for a salesperson to bring onboard more customers we can help.

While there will be some form of ‘soft’ cold calling and closing sales will be essential, there are a host of other elements which will be important. These include being intellectually curious and learning about the solutions, engaging and helping to drive marketing initiatives, reporting and more.

As such, we are not looking for a ‘hard’ salesperson, rather someone who can empathise with prospects, understand their needs, build long-term relationships and be super-organised. An ideal candidate need not be from a traditional sales background, in fact, we are happy to take people from a non-sales background. Someone who is happy to do many of the sales elements such as pick up a phone and talk to people but also someone able to build trust, empathy and happiness to build long-term relationships which will eventually turn into sales.

• Happy to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in helping in executing on the marketing plans.

• A relationship builder who builds trust both with customers and internally
• Super-organised who can structure a day, week, month and year
• Happy to provide reports on the state of sales
• Transparent: Happy to keep systems updated so everyone can see what is happening with sales and what may benefit from additional resources

• Happy to sell on value, not price

Tristar is all about honesty and integrity. More than anything, these are elements that are important to us and we are delighted when we meet candidates who hold the same values.
