  ✨ WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

  At Second Nature , we believe that sales can (and should) make a difference. As our Sales Specialist, you’ll use your proven track record in sales to connect individuals with purpose-driven travel, volunteering, and professional development experiences across our brands - including GVI , Bushwise , World of Difference , and the GVI Foundation .

  
  

  This is not an entry-level role. We’re looking for a seasoned, confident closer who thrives on challenge, momentum, and results. You’ll engage with high-intent leads, guide them through life-changing decisions, and play a direct role in expanding Second Nature’s global impact.

  
  

  Every sale you make helps fund sustainable development, education, and conservation initiatives worldwide - meaning your success drives both revenue and real-world change.

  
  

  WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

  • Converting qualified inbound leads through consultative, high-value conversations.
  • Managing your sales pipeline with precision using CRM tools (Salesforce experience a plus).
  • Hosting one-on-one consultations and group sessions to inspire potential participants.
  • Building authentic relationships with prospects and alumni to encourage repeat and referral business.
  • Delivering against ambitious targets while maintaining exceptional customer experience.
  • Contributing insights to continuously improve sales strategy and performance.
  • Collaborating closely with marketing and operations teams to maximise conversion opportunities.

  
  

  WHO YOU ARE & WHAT YOU BRING

  • 4+ years of proven sales experience with a strong record of meeting or exceeding targets.
  • A natural hunter – motivated, persistent, and energised by closing deals.
  • Skilled communicator across phone, email, and live chat - able to connect quickly and persuasively.
  • Organised, proactive, and driven by measurable results.
  • Tech-savvy with experience in CRM systems and digital tools.
  • Resilient, adaptable, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
  • Passionate about purpose-driven work and eager to contribute to something bigger than yourself.

  Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience in international education, travel, or social impact sectors.
  • Exposure to global markets (US, EMEA, APAC).
  • A background in consultative or solution-based sales.

  
  

  WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

  • Base salary: R25 000 per month (depending on experience)
  • Commission: On-target earnings between R20 000 – R40 000 (uncapped potential)
  • Remote working: Work remotely with the option, if wanted, to work hybrid from the offices in Cape Town.
  • Opportunities for career growth within a global organisation.
  • Collaborative, fast-paced culture that celebrates high performance and impact.
  • Generous leave policy
  • Access to wellbeing support and professional development resources.
