Sales Officer

CoAmana is on a mission to modernize and digitize market trading. Our flagship product, Amana Market, is a digital platform where:

  • Farmers, suppliers, and wholesalers can trade with one another.
  • Market Leaders can track members’ subscriptions and collect market fees.
  • Users can track their activity history and keep seamless records with low effort.
  • Traders can access credit for large purchases.
  • Users can access information such as weather reports and commodity pricing.
  • Market actors can work with Amana Market for an additional income stream.

We have set ambitious targets for 2025 and are looking for talented, self-starting individuals to join the team.

Responsibilities

By the end of 2025, Amana Market will be in 100 markets. We are looking for Sales Officers (Market Acquisition) to drive this growth. Sales Officers are more often than not a market leader’s first point of contact with the company. Until the market has signed up to the platform, you will act as the company’s primary liaison with the market’s decision makers and use your natural charisma to sell them on the benefits of the platform.

Sales Officers at CoAmana:

  • Physically locate new markets and approach their leadership teams
  • Pitch Amana Market products to market decision-makers and conduct demos to drive home the benefits
  • Know the platform inside out and use this knowledge to tailor your pitch to a Market Leader’s pain points
  • Gather insights from the field and share with head office to drive improvements to products and services
  • Travel extensively in their territory to identify new opportunities and follow up on existing ones
  • Maintain immaculate records to enable tracking of the sales pipeline
  • Represent CoAmana to the highest standard when engaging with external actors

In return for driving Amana Market’s expansion, you will receive a competitive base salary and attractive monthly commissions.

Qualifications

  • At least one post-secondary qualification (OND, HND, undergraduate role)
  • At least 2 years experience in field sales
  • A passion for winning – you love meeting and exceeding targets
  • Excellent interpersonal skills – you don’t just pitch to potential customers; you listen to their problems, build trust, and tailor your presentation to their needs
  • Integrity – you are honest and hardworking and do the right thing even when no one is watching
  • High energy – you travel whenever it is required to succeed in the role and set the pace for the rest of the team
  • IT skills – e.g basic experience with Microsoft Office or Google Suite
  • Fluency in Hausa and English (any other Nigerian language is a plus)
