About this role

Want US-market sales experience, uncapped earnings, and your mornings back? Read on.

Fundwell is a fast-growing US-based platform changing how businesses access capital — making funding faster, simpler and fully transparent. By pairing smart technology with deep financial expertise, we help small and medium-sized businesses unlock growth without the delays of traditional finance.

We're expanding our Cape Town sales floor and looking for driven, high-energy Business Development Representatives to speak directly with US business owners, spot real funding opportunities, and guide them into the process. This is fast-paced, target-driven work on a competitive, high-performance floor — the kind of environment where energy and consistency get rewarded fast.

You don't need years of sales experience. You do need to be confident on the phone, quick to build rapport, and hungry to earn. We'll teach you the rest.

Who thrives here

  • People who love the buzz of a busy sales floor and a bit of healthy competition
  • Confident communicators who aren't fazed by a "no"
  • Anyone from call centre, telesales, hospitality, retail or promotions who's ready to level up into international B2B sales
  • Self-starters chasing real earning potential, not just a salary

What you'll do

  • Make high-volume outbound calls (150–200+ dials daily) to connect with US business owners
  • Handle objections with confidence and keep control of conversations with decision-makers
  • Quickly understand a business's needs and position the right funding solution
  • Build and manage a healthy pipeline through sharp qualification and follow-up
  • Keep client records and CRM updated in real time
  • Consistently hit and beat daily, weekly and monthly targets

  • Excellent verbal communication with a clear, confident, neutral English accent
  • Resilience, drive and a genuinely competitive streak — you like chasing a target
  • Comfortable with high-volume outbound calling and speaking to decision-makers
  • Strong organisational habits and CRM/pipeline discipline
  • Eligible to work in South Africa
  • Fully committed to US-aligned hours: 14:00–23:00 or 15:00–00:00, on-site in Cape Town CBD

Nice to have (not essential — we train)

  • Outbound B2B sales or high-volume cold calling experience
  • Exposure to US or UK markets
  • Background in financial services (SMB funding, lending or finance-related sales)

  • Uncapped earning potential: Competitive base of R180,000–R550,000/year plus an uncapped, accelerated commission structure
  • Quarterly & annual rewards: Performance bonuses and discretionary cash incentives
  • Global exposure: A sophisticated international sales environment, working on state-of-the-art Apple hardware
  • Safe transport home: Dedicated transport for safe drop-offs at designated locations after your shift
  • Free mornings: US-aligned hours leave your mornings completely open — for the beach, the gym, or life admin
  • Health & growth: Comprehensive medical benefits and a clear path into closing and leadership roles as the office grows
