Senior Specialist Sales Consultant

Who Should Apply For The Position:

To apply for this position you must have a good product knowledge of Southern or East Africa. We are looking for reservations personnel with at least 5 year’s African travel reservation experience working in a travel agency or a tour operation. OR an experienced and versatile driven sales consultant.

The successful applicant will be enthusiastic, have a real passion for African travel, be extremely sales driven and possess good customer service skills. In return you will be rewarded with a good basic salary plus commission incentives, and the opportunity to make a career within our expanding organisation.

The Position

Our clients make their holiday choices over the internet from a wide range of travel related websites produced and managed by ourselves. Once they have chosen a holiday, they check availability and book their holiday via the internet. Your task will be to handle their reservations, liaise with service providers, close the deal, provide accurate costs, get the clients deposit and finalise all their travel arrangements.

All this will be done in an efficient manner so as to convey a high degree of professionalism as well as a trouble free “booking experience” for the client.

You may also deal with independent travellers who do not wish to use package holidays. You will help clients plan their journey by using travel timetables and then book their air transfers, interim hotel accommodation and car rental.

You may also find yourself servicing the business travel segment of the market, which requires good logistics planning and strategy skills for dealing with the extra demands of corporate customers.
