Mzansi4Youth Tip

Sales roles are not only about confidence—they are about listening, problem-solving, and consistency. Before applying, practise explaining why you enjoy helping customers make decisions and how you handle rejection. These qualities are often more important than past experience in entry-level sales roles.
