About the Role

We're hiring a Telesales Agent on behalf of a UK-based business that needs a confident, people-first sales professional to drive outbound revenue. You'll be the voice of the brand — calling prospects, building rapport quickly, and turning conversations into conversions.

* Hitting individual KPIs and contributing to team sales targets
* Feeding back market insights and customer responses to the sales manager

What You'll Need
* At least 1 year of outbound telesales or phone-based sales experience
* Comfortable on high-volume call days — this is an outbound role
* Strong verbal communication in English with a clear, professional phone manner
* Experience using a CRM (any — training on the specific system provided)
* Reliable internet connection and a quiet workspace

Nice to Have
* Experience selling to UK businesses or consumers
* Familiarity with objection-handling frameworks

What You'll Get
* R25,000/month — paid monthly
* Fully remote — no commute, ever
* UK public holidays observed
* A direct line into the UK job market and international sales experience

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.
