About Sales work in Gauteng
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.
Gauteng is the country’s employment engine. Johannesburg — particularly Sandton, Rosebank and Midrand — carries finance, technology and corporate head offices; Pretoria is the government and public sector centre; Ekurhuleni holds manufacturing and logistics. Weigh the commute carefully, because it is the real cost of a Gauteng offer.
