🇿🇦 Hirezar Summary for South African Applicants
This fully remote full time position at Somewhere is open to applicants from South Africa. This role is suited for mid-level professionals. As a remote position, you can work from anywhere in South Africa — whether you're based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or a smaller town.
Job Description
Sales Development Representative (SDR)
Role Overview
We’re hiring high-energy, assertive SDRs to re-activate a large base of warm and dormant clinic accounts. These are not cold leads - every account has previously signed up or ordered.
Your role is to:
* Re-establish contact
* Identify why accounts have gone inactive
* Drive them back to ordering
* Route qualified opportunities to our sales reps
This is a discovery-first role, not full-cycle sales. You’ll uncover insights, remove simple blockers, and tee up opportunities for closers.
Key Responsibilities
* Conduct high-volume outbound calls (80–120/day) to a portfolio of ~1,000 accounts
* Re-engage clinics that have lapsed (60–90+ days inactive)
* Deliver promotions and guide customers back to the ordering portal
* Identify key blockers (pricing, product availability, convenience, etc.)
* Answer common Tier 1 questions (login help, product info, ordering process)
* Log all activity, notes, and dispositions in HubSpot CRM
* Escalate complex opportunities or objections to assigned sales reps
* Collaborate daily via Slack, email, and phone with the internal team
What Success Looks Like
* 10+ reactivations per week = baseline performance
* 20–25 reactivations per week = strong performance
* ~100 calls/day with 3–5 meaningful conversations
* Consistent contribution to pipeline for sales reps
Ideal Candidate Profile
* Assertive, confident communicator (not passive or overly soft-spoken)
* Accent-neutral English with strong clarity and presence
* Comfortable speaking with:Admin staffClinic managersDoctors and business owners

* Reliable internet + backup power setup
Tools & Systems
* HubSpot CRM (primary workflow and tracking)
* Slack (team communication)
* Google Workspace (email, docs)
* VoIP dialer integrated with HubSpot
* SMS tools (e.g., Salesmsg / Sendinblue)
What We’re Looking For
This role requires someone who can:
* Be direct and persistent in conversations
* “Lean in” and confidently ask why a client isn’t ordering
* Create urgency and bring energy to every call
* Operate independently after onboarding
We are specifically not looking for overly passive communicators - this role requires presence and conviction.
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
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
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.
