Telesales Wine Consultant

The Role

Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate is an award-winning property in the Walker Bay Region in the Western Cape and is looking for persuasive communicators who can bring a Wine Estate to life over the phone. Whether you’re an experienced beverage sales professional, a field or retail sales rep ready to pivot, or a natural closer looking for a premium product, this is your opportunity.

You’ll promote our exceptional Wines to customers with warmth and expertise. You’ll also have the potential to work with our sister Estate, Leonardslee Family Vineyards in the UK. Based in Bellville, Cape Town, this is consultative telephone sales with real earning potential — not a generic call centre role.

Inbound Enquiry Conversion: Handle inbound leads promptly and guide them smoothly from interest to sale.
Product Knowledge & Storytelling: Master and passionately present our flagship Vinography wines, seasonal releases, and exclusive gift sets (full training provided).
Relationship Management: Build genuine rapport and drive repeat business and loyalty.
Corporate Gifting & Promotions: Identify opportunities and present tailored packages for events and corporate clients.
CRM & Order Management: Maintain disciplined CRM records (VTiger), accurately process orders, coordinate logistics, and ensure excellent delivery experiences.
Target Achievement: Consistently meet and exceed monthly KPIs including sales targets, call volumes, conversion rates, and pipeline growth.
