About the Company

We are a fast-growing U.S.-based wireless and telecom company and the first provider to let both businesses and individuals create and own a fully personalized phone number. Alongside premium, never-before-used numbers across sought-after area codes, we offer flexible wireless plans, devices, and business solutions nationwide.

Our customers range from everyday personal buyers to high-value professionals — attorneys, doctors, real estate and mortgage brokers, and other business owners — who invest in a memorable number to strengthen their brand. It is a distinctive, high-margin product with a large and growing market, and we are building the sales team to match it.

About the Role

This role exists to help us capture demand we already have. We are sitting on a substantial backlog of warm leads and a proven, repeatable sale — when the phone gets worked, deals close. What we need are driven salespeople who will get on the phone, run high volumes of calls with discipline, and convert that pipeline into revenue.

You will start on the front line: reaching out to prospects, qualifying them, and either transferring hot opportunities to a closer or (as you ramp) closing them yourself. This is a genuine growth seat. Our sales path runs from fronting to closing to sales leadership, and we promote the people who produce. We are not looking for someone who wants "a job." We are looking for someone who wants to build a career and treats this book of business like their own.

Key Responsibilities

Outbound Prospecting & Lead Engagement
* Work through a high volume of outbound calls daily to a backlog of warm and previously interested leads
* Re-engage older leads and consistently generate new live conversations
* Deliver our value proposition clearly and confidently over the phone
Qualification & Live Transfers
* Identify buyer intent quickly and qualify prospects against fit and budget
* Execute clean live transfers of hot prospects to closers with full context
* Maintain strong momentum so no qualified opportunity goes cold
Sales Execution & Closing (Growth Track)
* As you ramp, own deals end-to-end — from first conversation to signed sale
* Handle objections and negotiate across both personal-use buyers and higher-value business accounts
* Consistently hit and exceed individual and team targets
Pipeline & Follow-Up
* Keep the CRM current with accurate notes, statuses, and next steps
* Run disciplined follow-up so committed prospects are not lost to inactivity
* Track your own activity and conversion metrics and use them to improve
Team Contribution & Growth
* Collaborate with the sales manager and teammates to raise the whole team's output
* Take coaching well and apply it fast
* Grow into closing and, over time, help build and lead the team

Required Qualifications
* 2+ years of outbound phone sales, telesales, or high-volume calling experience
* Clear, neutral, professional spoken English that lands well with a U.S. customer base
* A proven track record of high call activity and hitting sales targets
* Comfort with a base-plus-commission model and genuine motivation by upside
* Resilience and consistency — the ability to sit down, work the phone, and push through a full shift
* Reliable high-speed internet, a quiet work environment, and a headset
* Availability for the full 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM Eastern shift

Preferred Qualifications
* Experience selling to U.S.-based customers
* Background in high-ticket, consultative, or intangible-product sales
* Exposure to both B2C and B2B selling
* Experience with CRMs and auto-dialers
* Telecom, wireless, or subscription sales experience

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are:
* Self-driven and accountable — you do not need to be watched to do the work
* Hungry and ambitious — you want to out-earn and get promoted, not coast
* Thick-skinned and resilient — rejection does not slow you down
* Coachable — you take feedback and improve immediately
* Disciplined — you show up, stay on the phone, and finish what you start
* Growth-minded — you want to build something and move up as the team scales

Why Join This Team
* Uncapped commission on a product with real margin and a warm lead backlog to work
* A clear, merit-based path from fronter to closer to sales leadership
* A ground-floor seat on a team being built for long-term growth
* Fully remote, full-time, with a company that intends to expand across sales, customer service, and account management

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.
