Job Description

You'll sell cover that families really use, from a personal loans branch in East London. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a personal loans branch in East London. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Call warm leads from the dialler and qualify them in the first minute.
  • Capture new policies on the admin system and check debit order details.
  • Save policies when clients call to cancel.
  • Track daily sales, conversions and lapse rates on the team board.
  • Follow up on quotes sent and chase missing documents.

What you need

  • Honest selling, even when the easy sale is the wrong one
  • Six months or more of sales, telesales or call centre work
  • You are comfortable earning a large part of your pay in commission
  • Credits toward a recognised FSCA qualification, or willing to start
  • FAIS fit and proper: clean credit and criminal record

Helpful, not essential

  • Completed class of business training for short-term or long-term insurance
  • A qualification such as a Higher Certificate in Financial Planning
  • An existing client book (for field roles)

What's in it for you

  • CPD hours logged and funded
  • RE5 exam fees and study material paid
  • Basic salary plus uncapped commission
  • Monthly sales competitions with cash prizes

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): consent form for credit and criminal checks plus certified copy of your SA ID or work permit.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
