Hire the Best Sales Managers
in South Africa

Hi, I’m Riley. If you’re looking for someone who can represent your company on the front line, open doors with decision makers, and turn cold outreach into real opportunities, you’re in the right place. I bring 10+ years of professional experience in cold calling, appointment setting, and B2B sales, working with companies across multiple industries—from local businesses to enterprise-level organizations. My specialty is simple: starting conversations that lead to qualified sales opportunities. Over the last decade I’ve developed a strong ability to navigate gatekeepers, connect with decision makers, and communicate value clearly—whether the prospect is a small business owner or a C-level executive. When you hire me, you’re not just hiring someone to make calls. You’re hiring someone who understands how to represent your brand professionally while driving measurable results. What I Bring to Your Business • 10+ years of cold calling and sales outreach experience • Expert gatekeeper navigation • Appointment setting with qualified prospects • Professional, articulate English communication • Strong objection handling and rapport building • Fast learner across multiple industries • Consistent reporting and CRM updates I’m comfortable working with both high-volume outbound campaigns and targeted B2B prospecting, and I adapt quickly to new products, services, and sales scripts. Most importantly, I treat every call as if I am a direct extension of your company. Your reputation matters, and I take that responsibility seriously. Industries I've worked with include: • Real Estate • Marketing Agencies • Home Services • SaaS & Tech • Professional Services • Local Service Businesses A profile can only say so much. The best way to see if I’m the right fit is to have a short conversation and see how I communicate, think, and approach sales. If you're looking for someone dependable who can help fill your pipeline with real opportunities, send me a message and let's discuss your campaign. Looking forward to working together. — Riley

Worked with Ford, Continental, Spar, and 18+ other companies. Client Results: 🏆Absolute Ablutions closed an extra $74,000 in new deals in 4 weeks after I automated the follow-up & nurture sequences for their sales team. 🏆Added $3,000,000 in pipeline revenue in 4 months using automated email outbound for a HealthTech company. 🏆I quadrupled the productivity of a consulting firm's delivery team by building a tool that automates manual record checking and billing analysis. What used to take 6 to 8 hours can now be done in less than 2, saving the team around 200 hours per week. "Gerhard has changed the way we work at Absolute Ablutions for the better forever. The changes were simple, yet incredibly effective, with results in real monetary value." - Alet Byers, Sales Manager, Absolute Ablutions. Although I now specialize in systems and automation, I studied mechatronic engineering (where my systems thinking comes from), and I also spent several years in outbound lead generation, inbound marketing, and sales. That broad background means I tend to see the whole picture, not just the piece I was hired for. Ways I can help: ⭐ Setting up new or improving existing CRM systems with custom use cases while onboarding and training teams to use it effectively. ⭐Automating sales & marketing processes to save time and improve team productivity. ⭐Mapping out how your systems and team should work together and creating standard operating procedures (SOP's) to get new hires up to speed faster. ⭐ Building end-to-end revenue attribution systems. Connecting marketing and sales so you can see what is making you money and what isn't. ⭐Calculating your revenue system's key performance metrics like Return on Ad Spend, Lead-to-Deal conversion rates, Revenue per Lead, etc and building dashboards so you can review overall performance at a glance. ⭐Grow your revenue by finding bottlenecks in your systems through Google Ads and SEO audits, website conversion rate optimization, and analyzing sales team performance. I use your performance metrics to calculate expected ROI and identify improvement areas for your unique use case. ⭐Creating custom tools like web/mobile apps where existing systems don't fill your needs. ⭐ Anything else you can think of...I love solving unique problems🤩 Tools/Systems I've used: - Claude Code - Hubspot - GoHighLevel - Make - Google Ads - Google Analytics 4 - Google Tag Manager - Google Search Console - Microsoft Clarity - Supabase P.s. I value my reputation more than any amount of money. If you don't think my work is five stars, I'll happily refund you in full. "You only get one name, invest accordingly." - Alex Hormozi

I am a growth-driven business leader operating at the intersection of sales, strategy, finance, and client success. I don’t just manage portfolios — I expand them. I don’t maintain accounts — I scale them. I am a decisive problem solver. I see the gap, I design the solution, and I execute. Fast. If you have a product, service, or vision that needs traction, positioning, and revenue — I will sell it. Strategically. Relentlessly. Successfully. In client success and account management, I build structured systems that drive retention, loyalty, and long-term profitability. Every engagement is intentional. Every client is prioritized. Satisfaction is standard — measurable growth is the objective. With a foundation in business management and cost strategy, I protect margins while accelerating performance. I understand numbers, I understand people, and I understand how to align both for maximum impact. I operate with ownership, precision, and confidence. When I lead a programme, I lead it to win. Results are not hoped for — they are engineered.

I worked as Head of Telesales and then as a Sales Manager for a manufacturing company for 29 years. My duties were to sell packaging to the catering/ hospitality field in South Africa, Botswana and Germany. I also had the responsibility of getting to a "soft close" I recently retired but am eager to get going with some telemarketing, sales or research from home. I am willing to work long hours and am not afraid of hard work.
