SALES MANAGER
We hire managers to lead people, not only to sell. Your Sales Manager Accountability Assessment has changed, and you no longer sell 45 packages yourself. Before you begin, you submit your certified ID and certified proof of bank account, and we issue your official Zibuke OnCall email and your tailored job advert. You register an employer account on Indeed or SA Youth, you post one advert based on the town or township where you live, and you build a local team of Sales Representative candidates. You earn R10 for every repair plan they sell, and you pass only when 12 of them graduate through their own 45-package assessment. The figures below are what you earn once you pass and become a permanent Sales Manager.
💰 How Your Compensation Works
Basic Salary (After You Pass): R16,000 per month. Guaranteed. Once you graduate 12 representatives and are confirmed as a permanent Sales Manager, you earn this regardless of your team's performance.
Performance Bonuses: On top of your basic salary, you earn a tiered bonus when at least 7 out of your 12 core Sales Representatives reach their monthly target. Your monthly bonus is earned when 7 of your 12 representatives reach their target, and your annual bonus is calculated from your accountability score bars. For every plan your team sells above that baseline, you earn additional bonus. The more your team sells, the more you earn.
Tiered Bonus Per Extra Package Sold
| Package Type | Your Bonus Per Sale | Example: 10 Extra Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Silver Package | R50 | R500 |
| Gold Package | R90 | R900 |
| Platinum Package | R150 | R1,500 |
Monthly Earnings Scenarios
| Scenario | Basic Salary | Bonus | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 reps hit target, 5 don't, no extra sales | R16,000 | R0 | R16,000 |
| 7 reps hit target, team sells 15 extra packages | R16,000 | ~R1,500 | ~R17,500 |
| All 12 reps hit target, team sells 30 extra packages | R16,000 | ~R3,000 | ~R19,000 |
| All 12 reps exceed target, 50+ extra Platinum-heavy sales | R16,000 | R5,000+ | R21,000+ |
| 7 reps hit target + interns generate extra sales | R16,000 | ~R1,500 (core) + ~R900 (intern) = ~R2,400 | ~R18,400 |
| All 12 reps hit target + interns generate extra sales | R16,000 | ~R3,000 (core) + ~R1,800 (intern) = ~R4,800 | ~R20,800 |
Note: Intern bonuses apply only when at least 7 out of 12 core Sales Representatives reach their monthly target.
The 7 Out of 12 Rule
You earn your performance bonus in a month where at least 7 out of your 12 core Sales Reps reach their monthly target. If fewer than 7 reps reach their target, you earn R0 bonus that month (your R16,000 basic salary is always guaranteed after you pass). Your monthly bonus is earned when 7 of your 12 representatives reach their target, and your annual bonus is calculated from your accountability score bars. This proves you are managing accountability across your team effectively.
About This Role
Zibuke OnCall builds its national footprint one local team at a time, and to protect our culture of accountability we choose the manager first. Your Sales Manager Accountability Assessment is no longer a personal selling test, and you will not be asked to sell 45 packages yourself. We made that change because managers who proved personal selling ability were still struggling to lead the teams they were handed. Before you begin, you submit your certified ID and certified proof of bank account, and we issue your official Zibuke OnCall email and your tailored job advert. You register an employer account on Indeed or SA Youth, you post one advert based on the town or township where you live, and you build a local team of Sales Representative candidates. You earn R10 for every repair plan they sell, and you pass only when 12 of them graduate through their own 45-package assessment. If another candidate already covers your area, the existing account holder places a new advert for you, and for guidance at any point you can email [email protected]. Your assessment runs for three months, and it is extended by a single month if, at the end of the third month, at least 8 of your sales representatives have reached their targets.
Once you graduate 12 representatives and pass your assessment, you are confirmed as a permanent Sales Manager. Your core team is built around the representatives you graduated, and your ongoing monthly bonus is earned when 7 of your 12 representatives reach their monthly target, and your annual bonus is calculated from your accountability score bars. Your primary job is to ensure your team's customer portfolios remain active and growing. Your R16,000 monthly basic salary is funded by the revenue their portfolios generate.
🎯 Your Role: Managing Accountability of Others
- Coach accountability: Ride along with struggling Sales Reps to coach them on closing deals.
- Ensure daily accountability: Make sure all 12 reps are actively prospecting and logging customer registrations daily.
- Develop new team members: Train Newbies to pass their 45-package Accountability Assessment within their 3-month window.
- Supervise interns (1-3): Guide them to achieve their logbook workplace experience. Interns are not subjected to performance targets.
- Enforce accountable practices: Ensure reps register serial numbers, check appliance ages, and only sign domestic-use customers.
- Monitor outcomes: Track your team's results to ensure the team is demonstrating accountability collectively.
🎯 Who You Are
- You understand that the Sales Manager Assessment is a leadership test. You are ready to submit your certified ID and certified proof of bank account, to register an employer account on Indeed or SA Youth, and to build a local team of Sales Representative candidates until 12 of them graduate through their own 45-package assessment. You are not looking for a shortcut. You want to lead real people through a real path.
- You have prior experience in sales, customer service, leadership, coaching, or community work that will help you manage up to fifty representatives and lead a core team of 12 reps.
- You are fluent in English and at least one other South African language.
- You are based in South Africa and available for occasional in-person team meetups.
- You embody accountability. You understand that your salary depends on your team's performance and you are ready to own that responsibility.
⚠️ This role carries real accountability. Your R16,000 basic salary is guaranteed after you pass. Your bonus depends on your team's performance. Failing to get 7 out of 12 reps to reach their target 6 times in a rolling 12-month period results in demotion to an R7,500 Sales Rep role. You must be ready for this responsibility.
🧭 Choosing How Your Team Sells
As a Sales Manager, you choose one of three sales approaches and train your whole team on it: door to door sales campaigns, online community building, or your own custom sales training built and proved through your portal. You choose one of the three and commit every representative on your team to it.
Door to door sales campaigns are much faster. You train your team using the door to door training already on the Sales Representative candidate portal. They close sales quickly because you are standing in the home where the appliances live, and they require you to join your team on sales calls in the field, in person.
Online community building is slower and simpler. You build a community of appliance owners online, qualify them, and approach them one by one. It allows truly remote sales management, where you lead your team without being in the field.
Your own custom sales training lets you write, submit, and prove a method you developed yourself, and then train your team on it once it produces results.
Whichever approach you choose, your representatives send their end of day notes and feedback to the corporate email we issued you as a Sales Manager candidate and through the in-app messenger. You read those notes every working day and you respond.
Choose the approach that fits how you lead. Door to door is faster if you can be in the field. Online community building is the simpler, remote path. Pick one of the three and commit your whole team to it.
