Industry: Long-Term Insurance (Funeral & Life Cover+Supplement cover)

- Build a structured, disciplined sales team
- Maintain performance accountability

- No criminal record
- Relevant Degree or Diploma
- Minimum 2 years experience in relationship management
- Minimum 2 years experience managing people
- Must have a Laptop
- Must have reliable internet access
- Willingness to meet clients physically (this is township-ground work, not remote fantasy)
