This is a good entry point into medical device sales for someone who already has a few years of experience in surgical or orthopaedic products and enjoys building relationships with clinicians. The role covers a territory around Pretoria and focuses on growing business with surgeons, theatre teams and hospitals.
About the company and the work

- Give product demonstrations and training, and provide customer support where needed.
- Help with theatre cases and give product support within the level of training and competence required.
- Learn product specifications and clinical uses well enough to answer customer questions confidently.
- Manage consignment stock and keep accurate sales reports.
- Watch competitor activity and look for ways to grow market share.
- Work towards sales targets and help grow the division commercially.
- Travel within Pretoria and surrounding areas to support customers and develop business.
