The Unlimited Group is looking for a Trainee Sales Agent in Pretoria, Gauteng, in a role that needs no previous sales experience: full training is provided. The role is permanent, the salary is market related, and applications close on 13 November 2026. The reference number is 209527.
About the company and the work
The Unlimited Group works in insurance sales, and this trainee role is an entry point into selling insurance policies to clients. The advert pitches it as a first-class opportunity to kick-start a career as a sales professional, with significant opportunities to progress. Unlike many sales roles, experience is explicitly not required; what the employer wants is a positive and professional attitude, a passion for sales and talking to people, and the drive to meet targets. Note that this is a different vacancy from the Trainee Sales Agent role in Durban already published on this site: this one is based in Pretoria and closes on a different date.
Role details and duties
The role, as stated in the original advert, includes:
- Selling insurance policies to clients.
- Explaining policy terms, conditions and benefits.
- Handling clients’ questions and concerns.
- Processing applications.
- Working with the sales team to close sales.
- Working independently or as an active member of a team.
- Meeting weekly sales targets and performance goals.
The stated benefits are commission plus incentives, ongoing training and career development, and the chance to build a business and get on the path to becoming a franchise owner. That last point matters for applicants weighing the role: the pay is commission-based rather than a fixed salary, so earnings will depend on sales performance, and the advert frames the role as a route into running your own franchise rather than a conventional salaried job.
Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
- Self-motivated and target driven.
- Great people’s skills.
- Grade 12, N4 and above.
- South African ID.
- A smart phone.
No previous sales experience is required, and full training is provided.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert. Be wary of anyone who asks for a fee to secure a job or who contacts you outside the official listing: genuine employers do not charge applicants for placement. Because this is a commission-based role, confirm the pay structure and the closing date of 13 November 2026 in the original advert before you submit, so you apply with a clear picture of how you will earn.
Practical tips
With no experience required, your application should sell your attitude and your people skills: give examples of talking to customers, handling difficult questions, or sticking with a target under pressure, even from part-time work, volunteering or community roles. Make sure you meet the stated basics, Grade 12 or N4 and above, a South African ID and a smart phone, and be ready to talk about why a target-driven, commission-based role suits you. Keep your CV neat, honest and free of errors.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. The advert had 25 applications and 217 views at the time of writing, so competition is moderate. Shortlisted candidates are normally contacted for the next step, and if you do not hear back, keep applying for similar roles rather than waiting on one outcome.
