  • Track competitor pricing and new products in your area.
  • Take orders from store managers and spaza owners on the sales app.
  • Log kilometres and fuel slips for the monthly claim.
  • Handle returns and credit claims for damaged stock.

  • You know the townships, suburbs and main roads of your area
  • You can work to daily and monthly volume targets
  • Good with people from store managers to tuck-shop owners
  • A valid Code 08 (Code B) driver's licence, for rep roles

Nice if you have

  • Your own reliable car for a car-allowance position

What you get
