About the Company

AGHA is the leading national industry body representing wholesalers and retailers in the gifts and homewares sector. They deliver approximately seven trade fairs annually, including flagship events in Sydney and Melbourne featuring up to 650 exhibitors.

These trade fairs are key buying destinations for retailers across Australia and are central to AGHA’s commercial success and industry impact.

About the Role
  
Reporting to the Sales Manager, you will be responsible for selling exhibition space across AGHA’s portfolio of trade fairs.
  
This is a warm B2B sales role with a strong foundation, established client relationships, an existing database, qualified marketing leads and consistent rebooking rates.
  
Your focus will be on proactive outbound phone calls and emails, nurturing relationships, and securing exhibitor bookings. You will also have the opportunity to attend the fairs, building face-to-face relationships and identifying future sales opportunities.

With structured pipeline management, CRM discipline and defined revenue targets, this role offers both accountability and genuine earning potential.

About the Person
  
You are a confident B2B sales professional who enjoys proactive outbound activity, builds rapport quickly and knows how to turn conversations into confirmed bookings.
  
You are commercially driven and motivated by results, yet highly relationship-focused in your approach. Comfortable working in a small, collaborative team, you take ownership of your pipeline and consistently deliver structured weekly sales activity across calls, emails and follow-ups.
  
You are organised, resilient and accountable, working toward clear individual and team revenue targets while maintaining professionalism, integrity and energy in every interaction. You represent your organisation with credibility at all times.
