Selfa is a leading calibration and metrology solutions provider based in Lagos, Nigeria. We deliver reliable, innovative, and cost-effective measurement and control services across various industries. As we expand our service portfolio, we are looking for a dynamic and experienced Technical Sales Lead to drive the growth of our B2B technical services, including calibration, measurement solutions, and IoT-enabled asset monitoring.
Job DescriptionAs a Technical Sales Lead at Selfa, each day blends strategy, customer engagement, and technical insight. Your mornings might start with reviewing your sales pipeline and planning follow-ups on leads generated from digital campaigns or recent industry events. Shortly after, you’re on a client call — understanding the calibration or asset monitoring needs of a manufacturing plant and proposing a customized service package.
Midday could involve collaborating with the technical operations team to scope a solution or refine a proposal, ensuring what you’re selling aligns with what can be delivered. You’ll likely prepare or revise commercial quotations, attend a virtual meeting with a procurement team, or visit a key client site with a technician to assess equipment.
In between, you're checking CRM updates, tracking sales metrics, and preparing a weekly report for the CEO. Occasionally, you're analyzing competitor offerings or following up on service performance to ensure a customer remains satisfied and loyal.
By the end of the day, you're closing the loop on opportunities, aligning with marketing on outreach materials, and setting up calls or demos for the week ahead. No two days are exactly alike, but every day moves the business closer to sustainable growth.
