How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: proof of past sales performance, such as target letters or commission statements, a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) plus copy of your driver's licence.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Umhlanga; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Prepare a 30-60-90 day plan for the territory and bring it to the second interview.
Show target versus actual for each of your last three years; B2B managers skip CVs without numbers.
