About the Role

Get paid to become dangerous on the phone:

throxy books sales meetings for B2B companies, from Fortune 500s to the fastest-growing startups. The phone is how we do it. Everyone else chased email and LinkedIn until both were saturated; the buyers we want are still live on the phone, and almost nobody calls them. Our SDRs do, at a volume no other floor can offer.

This is a full-time, in-office role on our sales floor in Cape Town or Johannesburg. You will spend most of your day on the dialler, working lists our data engine has already qualified and scored, with call insights from the last campaign fed back into the next one. Cold calling experience helps but is not required. We will teach you the craft. What we cannot teach is the appetite for it.

North Star

Book meetings that hold. Every conversation exists to get a qualified buyer to say yes to a meeting with our client, and to keep saying yes when it is in the calendar.

The Floor

What you're working with:

You dial through Maestro, our in-house dialler, on lead lists our data engine has already qualified and scored. Call outcomes are classified automatically and fed back into who you call next. Less admin, more conversations. You sit with the team in person, in Cape Town or Johannesburg, and learn from the people beside you.

What You'll Do

Your day, most days:

01
Cold Call at Volume

Run high-volume outbound calls to decision-makers at our clients' target accounts. Openers, qualification, objection handling, close for the meeting.

02
Book Meetings That Hold

Qualify the prospect, book the meeting, and hand it over so cleanly that it holds. Accepted meetings are the number you own.

03
Feed the Machine

Log outcomes and objections accurately. Your call notes train the intelligence layer that decides who gets called next.

04
Sharpen the Pitch

Test openers and talk tracks with the team, review your own calls, and bring what works back to the floor.

Strong Signals

Strong signals:

01
Cold Calling Experience

You have done outbound before: SDR, BDR, telesales, fundraising, recruitment, anything where you dialled strangers for a living. Not required, but it shows.

02
Competitive

Sport, debating, sales leaderboards. You like a scoreboard and you like being at the top of it.

03
Curious About B2B

You want to understand what the companies you call actually do, because that is what makes the pitch land.

04
Ambitious

You see SDR as a first step, not a final one, and you want to be measured on results.

Must-Haves

What we're looking for:

01Based in Cape Town or Johannesburg, or in South Africa and able to work from one of those offices full-time
02Fluent, confident spoken English and a voice that carries on a call
03Comfortable spending most of the day on the phone talking to strangers
04Coachable: you take feedback on one call and use it on the next
05Resilient: you can hear no forty times and dial number forty-one with the same energy
06Reliable and organised: on time, on the floor, notes logged
