About Sales work in South Africa

Sales is the largest employment category on this board by volume, and commission-heavy structures are the norm in insurance, motor, property and business software. Employers hire for resilience and pipeline discipline rather than for qualifications, so a track record of hitting a number beats a certificate. Always ask two questions before you sign: what the on-target earnings figure actually is, and whether any commission is guaranteed during probation. A solid base with a realistic OTE is usually worth more than a small base attached to an uncapped promise.

This role is listed without a fixed province, which usually means it is remote, it covers a national territory, or the employer hires countrywide. Remote South African roles still generally require you to be resident in the country and to hold valid work authorisation.
