What You Bring

  • 1–3 years of experience in a fast-paced sales environment (B2B preferred)
  • A neutral, confident English accent suited to engaging US-based CEOs and executives
  • The stamina and mindset for high-volume outreach — you see "no" as a stepping stone
  • Strong pipeline discipline and CRM habits
  • Full commitment to our on-site shift: 2:00 PM – 11:00PM SAST, Monday to Friday
