The Big Opportunity: Reverse Auction Sales Executive

In this high-energy role, you'll be responsible for converting inbound inquiries into confirmed bookings through swift responses, strategic negotiation, and running live competitions among suppliers. This isn't a traditional call center — it's about winning customers through discipline, speed, and commercial insight.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own Your Pipeline: Manage your response time, follow-ups, margin, and revenue proactively.
• Respond Quickly: Contact warm inbound leads within minutes, qualify efficiently, and maintain momentum.
• Run Live Auctions: Engage multiple transport partners in real-time competition to secure the best rate.
• Negotiate Confidently: Balance customer needs with supplier pricing, safeguarding margins and quality.
• Drive Conversions: Guide each inquiry to a clear, booked outcome with proper follow-up.
• Upsell Carefully: Offer additional services that enhance customer experience and increase booking value.
• Track Your Performance: Monitor activity, conversions, and revenue daily to sharpen your approach.

Are You a Good Fit?

• Thrive under pressure and excel when targets are challenging 🎯
• Obsessed with speed, negotiation, and winning deals
• Capable of juggling multiple live deals without losing attention to detail
• Energetic, driven, and proactive — no chasing needed
• View sales as a sport: disciplined, relentless, and competitive
• Enjoy solving commercial problems while protecting margins

What This Role Is NOT

• A call center 'take the order' role 📞
• A slow sales cycle with waiting for decisions ⏳
• For those uncomfortable with negotiation or discussing money 💸
• Hiding behind excuses or passive follow-up 🚫
• Role requiring micromanagement or constant supervision 🕵️‍♂️
• A discount-first environment — we win with speed and value, not price 🏆

What You'll Bring

• Success in a high-performance, target-driven sales environment
• Strong negotiation skills and commercial instinct (margin focus)
• Excellent communicator, able to build rapport quickly
• Skilled at handling objections, controlling calls, and closing confidently
• Disciplined in pipeline management and follow-up
• Enthusiastic, resilient, and eager to succeed
• Detail-oriented with fast learning ability
• Comfortable on a lively, supportive sales floor
• Fluent in both German and English (spoken and written) 🇩🇪🇺🇸

Bonus points: Experience in logistics, freight brokerage, recruitment, estate agency, car sales, insurance, or marketplace businesses.
