Outbound Opener | Sales Development

Job description

Great conversations open doors. Ready to start them?
Are you curious, competitive and comfortable picking up the phone? Do you enjoy meeting targets, learning quickly and seeing your effort translate into earnings? This could be your next move.
LynkSA is recruiting for a UK financial technology business that helps small businesses understand their financial health and access funding to grow. We’re looking for an energetic Outbound Opener to join its Cape Town team and turn first conversations into qualified sales opportunities.

The opportunity:
You’ll speak to UK business owners and directors, ask the right questions and identify businesses with a genuine funding need. Your aim is to qualify a lead, which will then be handed over to a funding specialist.
This is a busy, phone-focused role. You’ll need persistence, a positive approach and the ability to keep your energy up when a conversation ends in “no”.

What you’ll be doing:
You’ll work through prioritised prospect lists, understand each business’s funding needs, and confirm the amount and timing required. You’ll keep Salesforce records accurate, follow up consistently and make well-prepared handovers to the closing team. Call coaching, role plays and team workshops will help you sharpen your approach.

What’s in it for you?
A basic salary with uncapped commission, hybrid working, 25 days’ annual leave and training from day one. You’ll receive regular coaching, quarterly pay reviews and the opportunity to progress into a closing role or another area of the funding team as you develop.

Ready to make your next move?
Email your CV and a short introduction explaining why this opportunity interests you and what you would bring to the team to moc.asknyl@ael, using “Outbound Opener – Cape Town” as your subject line.

If you do not hear from us within 10 days of submitting your application, please accept that your application has been unsuccessful.

What will help you succeed:

You’re naturally curious and ask thoughtful questions. You learn quickly, explain things clearly and put feedback into practice. You enjoy healthy competition, take ownership of your targets and reflect on what you can improve.

• Excellent command of the English language
• Professional approach to represent yourself and the business
• Outbound sales, tele sales or contact center experience advantageous
• Qualification in Business or Finance would be advantageous

You must be based in Cape Town, able to attend the Claremont office on office days and available for the stated working hours.
