About Us
Sailing International Trade Ltd. is an international trading company specializing in architectural glass, mirrors, and related products.
With over 30 years of industry experience, we have established a global supply network and serve customers across more than 50 countries and regions, including North America, Europe, and Australia.
Our core product category is float glass, along with other architectural glass and related products.
We are currently expanding our sales team and looking for motivated individuals who are interested in developing a long-term career in B2B sales and international trade.
This position is designed as an entry point into professional B2B sales. You will begin as a Sales Assistant / B2B Sales Trainee, receive structured product and sales training, work directly on real client development, and have the opportunity to progress into a B2B Sales Representative role based on your performance and development.
Career Development Path
Sales Assistant / B2B Sales Trainee → Training & Client Development → Performance Review → B2B Sales Representative
From the beginning of the role, you will be expected to actively participate in client development rather than perform only administrative sales support.
You will learn how to identify potential clients, approach businesses, communicate with decision-makers, understand purchasing needs, and gradually develop your own sales opportunities.
At the end of the probationary period, the company will conduct a formal performance review meeting to evaluate your overall performance, progress, sales potential, and readiness for greater responsibilities.
Based on the outcome of the review, the company will discuss your next-stage responsibilities, career development plan,
and compensation structure.
Any compensation adjustment after the probationary period will be based on individual performance, demonstrated capabilities, and business needs, and is not automatic.
