Our client is an established business development consultancy that supports growing small businesses across multiple sectors. They are looking for an articulate, research-led Sales Development Representative based in South Africa to conduct targeted telephone outreach and book qualified appointments. This is a fully remote role focused on high-quality, professional conversations rather than high-volume cold calling.

- Serve as a critical human touchpoint in the sales cycle, engaging decision-makers and qualifying interest.
- Represent diverse client accounts across sectors such as IT services, logistics, architecture, and telecommunications.
- Secure qualified appointments and discovery calls for client teams.
- Maintain clean records of conversations, lead status, and feedback to ensure consistent pipeline flow.
What we are looking for
- 3 to 5 years of proven experience in outbound sales development, telemarketing, or appointment setting.
- Exceptional spoken and written English, with an articulate and professional telephone manner.
- Demonstrated versatility and the ability to switch context smoothly across different industries and target audiences.
- A quality-over-quantity mindset; this role prioritises thorough preparation and tailored conversations over high daily dial volume.
- Reliable self-management and the discipline required to work effectively in a remote setting.
Nice to have
- Experience working within an agency or multi-client sales environment.
- Prior experience engaging international B2B prospects, particularly in the UK or North America.
- Familiarity with modern CRM platforms and sales engagement tools.
What is on offer
- R28 000 - R32 000 per month.
- Full-time hours.
- Fully remote working arrangement from anywhere in South Africa.
