How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): proof of past sales performance, such as target letters or commission statements plus a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Umhlanga.

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.

How to stand out

Show target versus actual for each of your last three years; B2B managers skip CVs without numbers.
Name the industries and deal sizes you have handled, not only your job titles.
