Sales Manager

JKTabak · Islamabad, Pakistan

JKTabak sells leaf, strips and blends to wholesale buyers across many countries, and the quality of its response to each enquiry is part of what it markets. The Sales Manager leads the team that handles those buyers from enquiry through quotation, sample, order and shipment, and makes sure the 24-hour reply promise holds even on a busy day.

Your week combines targets by market, a read of every important quotation and a daily look at who has gone quiet in the CRM. You coach executives on negotiating with wholesale importers who compare offers across several suppliers, and you help recruit and train new people as the Islamabad team expands. Because Europe is a key region, you also keep an eye on how the team handles buyers there, from their time zone to their expectations about documents.

Salary: PKR 60,000 – 70,000 per month. Negotiable according to experience and skills. Bonuses apply in this role and are explained at interview.
