Job Description
Inbound Sales Representative (Consultative)
Location:RemoteEmployment Type:Independent ContractorSchedule:9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST, Monday to Friday during training. Post-training, your schedule will vary week to week and will include some weekend coverage.
About the Company
We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based company operating in a high-demand, live sales environment where inbound interest arrives faster than it can be converted. As we scale, we are building out a team of skilled sales agents who can turn that demand into revenue through real conversation — not order-taking.
About the Role
This role exists for one reason: we have more inbound demand than we can currently close well. We are not looking for someone to read a script and log a call. We are looking for a closer who can take a live, interested customer and move them to a confident buying decision.
You will spend your day in real-time conversations, handling primarily inbound inquiries and reaching out to warm leads when needed. Success in this role is measured by conversions, not call volume. If you are energized by a fast-moving environment, competitive by nature, and take pride in closing, this is built for you.
Key Responsibilities
Sales Conversion & Consultative Selling
* Engage customers in live conversations and guide them to a buying decision using consultative selling
* Own your conversion rate against clear, measurable sales targets
* Handle primarily inbound inquiries, with outbound outreach to warm and follow-up leads as needed
Objection Handling & Conversation Control
* Control the direction of live conversations and keep them moving toward the close
* Diagnose and overcome objections in real time rather than deferring or escalating
* Use provided scripts as a foundation while keeping your delivery natural and confident
Live Environment & Systems Management
* Multitask across multiple screens, tools, and applications simultaneously during active calls
* Log interactions and outcomes accurately in the CRM so pipeline data stays clean
* Stay current on product, pricing, and offer details so you can answer with authority
Required Qualifications
* Proven sales experience with a track record of closing — not a customer-service background repositioned as sales
* Demonstrated ability to control conversations, handle objections, and consistently convert
* Excellent English communication with a clear, neutral accent
* Comfort multitasking across multiple screens and software applications during live interactions
* A highly reliable internet connection and a dependable remote work setup
* Availability for a variable weekly schedule, including some weekend coverage
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience in high-volume inbound sales, call-center, or BPO sales environments
* Prior experience selling into the U.S. market
* Familiarity with a CRM such as Salesforce or HubSpot
Ideal Candidate Profile
You are:
* A natural closer who is motivated by targets and enjoys competition
* Resilient under pressure and unshaken by objections or rejection
* Coachable on process, but confident in your own voice
* Highly organized and able to stay sharp while juggling multiple systems at once
* Self-directed and dependable in a fully remote setting
Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
At R14,800/month, this role is on par with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($800/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
