1. Job Overview: Sales Representative at Japa Partners

Japa Partners helps Nigerians explore opportunities to study, travel and relocate abroad. The company wants a confident, target-driven Sales Representative who can connect with potential customers, explain its services clearly and turn genuine interest into sales.

This is a hybrid position in Ogba, Lagos, with a competitive salary. It may suit someone who enjoys speaking with people, building relationships and working towards measurable goals.

The role involves more than answering enquiries. You will need to understand what prospects are looking for, explain the available services accurately and follow up professionally until they make a decision.

💡 Job-seeker tip: If you have helped a business attract customers, followed up with leads or promoted a service, those experiences may be relevant—even if your previous job title did not include the word “sales.”

2. What Will You Do in This Role?

The successful candidate will help move prospective customers from their first enquiry to a clear purchasing decision. The main responsibilities include:

  • Convert leads from social media, WhatsApp, phone calls and walk-in enquiries into paying clients.
  • Explain study-abroad services, visa-related services and travel packages clearly and persuasively.
  • Follow up consistently with prospects and respond to their questions professionally.
  • Work towards monthly sales targets and keep records of your sales pipeline.
  • Represent the company at fairs, events and outreach activities.

In practice, you will need to listen carefully, understand a prospect's needs and communicate the company's services honestly. Strong follow-up habits can make a real difference when a potential customer needs more information before deciding.

💡 Career tip: Employers value evidence, not just claims. If you have sales experience, prepare a genuine example of a lead you followed up, a customer problem you solved or a target you helped achieve. Never invent sales figures.

3. Requirements: Who Should Apply?

Japa Partners is looking for a candidate who meets these key requirements:

  • At least one year of sales experience, ideally in education, travel or services.
  • Excellent spoken and written communication skills.
  • Comfort working with sales targets, follow-ups and prospective customers.
  • Experience in the study-abroad or travel industry is a strong advantage.

If you have worked in customer service, business development, education consulting or another customer-facing position, review the duties carefully and highlight any experience that genuinely matches the role.

Industry experience is a plus, but do not assume your application is irrelevant simply because your previous employer operated in a different sector. Show how your real experience connects to the listed responsibilities.

💡 Confidence tip: Apply when your experience matches the core requirements. You do not need to meet every desirable preference to present a strong, honest application.

4. Skills That Can Help You Stand Out

Beyond meeting the stated requirements, a few practical skills can help you demonstrate that you are ready to contribute:

  • Clear communication: Explain services in straightforward language and adapt your explanation to the customer's needs.
  • Customer relationship management: Keep track of enquiries, follow-up dates and conversations so prospects are not forgotten.
  • Persuasion without pressure: Explain the value of a service, answer concerns honestly and help customers make informed decisions.
  • Organisation: Prioritise leads, maintain accurate records and stay consistent with follow-ups.
  • Target awareness: Understand your goals, monitor your progress and identify where more effort is needed.

Because this role involves international travel and study-related services, communicating responsibly is particularly important. Be accurate about what the company offers, and never promise a visa approval or other outcome you cannot guarantee.

💡 Stand-out tip: Prepare a short example of how you would respond to a hesitant customer. Demonstrating empathy, clarity and professional follow-up can be more persuasive than simply describing yourself as a “good salesperson.”

5. CV and Application Tips for This Sales Job

Your CV should make it easy for the recruiter to understand what you can do and how your experience relates to this particular vacancy.

  • Keep it relevant: Put your sales, customer service, lead-generation or business development experience where the recruiter can find it quickly.
  • Use specific examples: Explain how you handled enquiries, followed up with prospects, supported customer retention or contributed to sales.
  • Use truthful numbers where possible: If you know your actual sales volume or target performance, include it. Do not guess or exaggerate.
  • Make it easy to read: Use clear headings, consistent formatting and concise bullet points.
  • Proofread carefully: Check your spelling, contact details, dates and employment history before sending.
  • Follow the application instructions: Use the requested email subject and include the short WhatsApp sales message in the email body.

A tailored, easy-to-read CV is usually more useful than a long document filled with unrelated information. Focus on the evidence that best connects your background to this job.

💡 CV tip: Replace vague statements such as “I am hardworking and good with people” with a real example of how you handled customers, resolved an issue or supported a sales goal. Keep every claim accurate.

6. How to Prepare for a Sales Representative Interview

If you are shortlisted, prepare to explain how you communicate with customers, organise follow-ups and handle sales targets.

You can practise answering questions such as:

  • How would you turn a social media enquiry into a paying customer?
  • How would you follow up with someone who is interested but has not made a decision?
  • How do you organise several prospects at different stages of the sales process?
  • Tell us about a time you handled a difficult customer or helped solve a customer problem.
  • How would you explain a travel or study-abroad service to someone who is unfamiliar with it?

Use real examples where possible. A simple structure works well: explain the situation, describe what you did, and share the genuine outcome. If you are new to a particular sales sector, be honest and show how you would learn.

💡 Interview motivation: You do not need a perfect answer to every question. Practise speaking clearly, explaining your thinking and showing a willingness to learn. Preparation helps you communicate with confidence.
