Avatar Human Capital is hiring a permanent Skills Development Sales Consultant and the window is closing soon. If you enjoy finding new clients and helping companies meet skills‑development goals, this role could be your next step.
What the role is about
The job is a full‑time, hunter‑style sales position. You will market learnerships, ICT training, and other workforce‑development services to corporate, enterprise and public‑sector organisations. Your main task is to grow the client base and close revenue‑generating deals.
Who can apply
You must have at least Grade 12. A diploma or degree in Business, Marketing, HR, Training or a related field is an advantage but not mandatory. The role needs ≥ 3 years of proven sales experience in any of these areas:
- ICT training sales
- Learnership sales
- Skills‑development solutions
- Corporate training services
- Technology solutions sales
Experience with corporate, enterprise and public‑sector clients is essential. You must live in Johannesburg, Gauteng, have a valid driver’s licence, and own a reliable vehicle for national travel.
What you gain
The advertised package lists a base of R900 000 per month with an annual figure of R11 million plus a 2.5 % commission. Use the interview to confirm the exact numbers. Beyond salary, you will develop a national sales network, sharpen negotiation skills, and deepen knowledge of SETA funding, BBBEE skills‑development requirements, and workforce‑development initiatives.
How to apply – step by step
- Update your CV. Highlight revenue wins, client‑acquisition figures, CRM experience and any training‑sector sales you have done.
- Gather supporting documents: ID, Matric certificate, any diploma/degree, driver’s licence, and references.
- Visit the official application page: Avatar Human Capital – Skills Development Sales Consultant.
- Complete the online form and upload the documents you prepared.
- Review your submission for spelling and formatting errors before hitting “Submit”.
Tips to improve your chances
Many applicants send a generic sales CV. Instead, place your strongest numbers at the top – for example, “Generated R3 million in new revenue in 2023” or “Secured 12 corporate learnership contracts”. Show that you understand South African procurement, SETA funding models and BBBEE compliance. If you already have a network in the corporate sector, mention it briefly. Finally, proofread your application; recruiters often drop candidates with avoidable errors.
Insider tip: Don’t just list duties. Use concise bullet points to prove you have closed deals, written proposals and managed a sales pipeline in the training or ICT space.
