* Hit weekly call and conversion targets agreed with your manager

What you will need
* One or more years in telesales, outbound calling or a similar phone-based sales role
* A clear, confident telephone manner and neutral accent
* Experience with a CRM such as HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive
* Resilience with rejection and the discipline to keep dialling
* A quiet home workspace, reliable fibre or LTE, and backup power

What is on offer
* A steady monthly salary, paid reliably
* 100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
* Full product training and ongoing coaching on your calls
* Long-term placement with a UK employer, supported by Remote Recruitment throughout
If you are comfortable on the phone and want steady remote work with a UK team, we would like to hear from you.

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.
