We know sales hiring

Every question and every line is built on what sales managers and recruiters look for.

We're on your side

Stuck on a question? A real person answers on WhatsApp. We want you to get that job.

You'll look the part

A clean, professional layout that reads well on paper, on a phone and in online job systems.

Save time and money

About 15 minutes and R250, instead of hours of writing, or R300 to R2,500 and several days with a CV writer.

Why good sales people get passed over

Most sales CVs read like a job description. The people who get the call show proof that they sell.

A few seconds to impress

In an eye-tracking study, recruiters spent an average of 7.4 seconds on their first look at a CV. Your best results need to be where their eyes land.

Duties don't win interviews

"Responsible for sales" describes every applicant. Hiring managers shortlist the people who show what they achieved.

Your numbers are your proof

Targets hit, rankings, growth and awards. Most sales people leave them out or bury them where nobody reads.

The same job, written two ways

We ask for the numbers you might not think to include, then write them up the way sales managers read.

Questions

Can I see my CV before I pay?

Yes. You see your whole CV, with a light "preview" watermark, before you pay anything. Only pay if you're happy with it.

I don't have big numbers. Will it work for me?

Yes. The questions help you find results you might not think of, like rankings, targets hit, repeat customers and accounts opened. There are also general accomplishments that work for anyone in sales, including people in their first sales job.

Is there a subscription or monthly fee?

No. It's R250 once for your CV. There are no trials that turn into monthly charges, and nothing renews.

What do I get?

A professional 2-page sales CV in the layout sales managers and recruiters look for, as a print-ready PDF. The simple one-column layout also reads cleanly in online job-application systems.

Can I make changes?

Yes, before you pay: tap any line on your CV to change the words, make it shorter or longer, change the colours, or go back and change your answers. Stuck? Send us your change on WhatsApp and we'll help. Once you've paid, your CV is final. If you want changes after that, you make a new CV, which is a new purchase.

Can I download it again?

Yes. You can download the CV you paid for again on the same phone or computer. If you lose it, contact us with your order code: we keep a copy and can send it to you.

How long does it take?

Most people finish in about 15 minutes. It's mostly tapping options, and "Pick for me" fills in your skills and qualities in one tap. Your answers are saved on your device as you go, so you can stop and come back.

Is my information safe?

Yes. Your answers are saved on your own phone or computer while you build your CV. When you pay, a copy of the CV you bought is kept securely so we can help if you lose it. We never sell your details, and we only share your CV with recruiters if you tick the box that says we may. Payments are handled by Yoco and Payfast, so we never see your card or bank details.

What is the cover letter?

A one-page letter that you send with your CV, written for you from your CV answers. You choose the job, the company, who it's to, where you saw the advert, the results to highlight and the tone. Add it when you pay for R50, or later. Each letter is for one company: once paid it's final, and a letter for another company is another R50.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. The whole site works on a phone. Your answers are saved as you go, so you can stop and carry on later on the same phone.

What payment methods do you accept?

Card (Visa and Mastercard), Apple Pay and Google Pay through Yoco, and Instant EFT, Capitec Pay, SnapScan, Zapper and more through Payfast. Both are secure South African payment services.

What if I need help?

Tap Help at the top of any page, or the green WhatsApp button, to message us. If something goes wrong with a payment, keep your order code and we'll sort it out.
