ABOUT TRASH CONNECTIONS LTD

Trash Connections Ltd is a trusted and rapidly expanding waste management service provider offering affordable and efficient garbage collection services to households and businesses. Based in Kenya, the company is driven by a mission to promote sustainable waste disposal practices that safeguard health, hygiene, and the environment.

As urban centers continue to grow, the need for consistent, professional garbage collection services has never been higher. Trash Connections Ltd meets this need by providing reliable, affordable, and responsive waste collection solutions in residential estates, business parks, and commercial properties.

The company is expanding operations in Ruiru, one of the fastest-growing urban towns in Kiambu County, and seeks energetic Sales Representatives to bring these essential services to more clients.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the Sales Representative, you will be responsible for driving customer subscriptions and converting leads into long-term clients. You will serve as the frontline ambassador for Trash Connections Ltd in Ruiru and be expected to:

• Actively prospect and identify new customers, including residential homes, gated communities, business premises, and commercial buildings in and around Ruiru.

• Conduct door-to-door marketing campaigns, in-person client visits, cold calls, and follow-ups to educate prospects on Trash Connections’ waste management services.

• Convert prospects into paying clients, effectively managing the entire sales cycle from lead generation to customer onboarding and service activation.

• Achieve monthly sales targets, as your earnings will be tied to a commission of 40% on all sales revenue you generate.

• Build strong customer relationships, maintaining regular communication, handling objections, and ensuring high client retention.

• Maintain detailed sales records, documenting daily sales activities, prospects engaged, contracts signed, and revenues generated using tools like Excel and Word.

• Report to the Sales Manager weekly, sharing progress on targets, customer feedback, and areas for campaign improvement.

• Collaborate with the service delivery team, ensuring clients receive timely and satisfactory garbage collection services after onboarding.

• Promote environmental awareness, representing the brand’s values on sustainability, public hygiene, and waste reduction best practices in customer communications.

To succeed in this role, you must be highly motivated, results-oriented, and based in Ruiru. You will be required to demonstrate:

• Minimum of 3 years’ proven experience in sales with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.

• Background in selling service-based products, particularly within utilities or environmental services (garbage collection, cleaning, security, etc.), will be a strong advantage.

• Excellent selling, negotiation, and interpersonal skills, including confidence when engaging with different customer segments—from homeowners to business managers.

• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain service packages clearly and persuasively.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with minimal supervision in a field-based role.

• Proficiency in MS Word and Excel, especially for maintaining accurate client records and tracking monthly performance.

• Immediate availability to start upon selection.

• Reside in Ruiru or immediate surroundings, as familiarity with the local market and ease of access are essential.
