Remote Recruitment (operating via Remote Recruitment SA and Remote Recruitment UK) is a specialized staffing agency that connects verified international employers—primarily in the UK—with skilled independent contractors based in South Africa.
Remote Recruitment is hiring an Inbound Sales Agent for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa. You'll own inbound sales enquiries from the first call through to a closed order.
Role overview
Customers who are already interested contact the business by phone, email and chat. Your job is to understand what they need, recommend the right option and turn the enquiry into an order.

You will join the client's existing team from day one, with a named manager in the UK, regular check-ins over video call and clear goals so you always know how you are doing.
