About the Role

The role of Field Sales Agent within TWK Agri’s EUM division represents a dynamic frontline sales position focused on grass-roots community engagement and institutional relationship building throughout Polokwane and the broader Limpopo province. Rather than relying solely on cold calling, the successful candidate will operate directly within local communities, establishing strategic distribution partnerships with churches, community groups, local businesses, and established funeral parlours.

The primary focus of this role is to drive the sustainable growth of EUM’s funeral insurance portfolio. This involves promoting specialized insurance products, onboarding structured group schemes, and ensuring high policy retention rates through continuous customer education and professional service delivery. Because field sales require a high degree of autonomy, the ideal agent will be a disciplined self-starter who can confidently navigate diverse cultural environments while maintaining strict ethical compliance and administrative accuracy.

Operational Scalability Clause: Please note that while a single position is currently being highlighted, TWK Agri explicitly reserves the corporate right to appoint multiple qualified candidates from this specific recruitment cycle to fulfill localized organizational expansions and changing business needs.

• Assist existing clients with vital policy updates, beneficiary modifications, and timely renewal processing.

Compliance, Administration & Reporting

• Ensure absolute compliance with all internal group policies, as well as broader statutory and financial regulatory frameworks.

• Maintain clean, organized customer records and complete all digital and physical sales administration paperwork flawlessly.

• Compile and submit detailed, regular sales activity logs, pipeline projections, and market intelligence reports to regional management.

• Act as a proud brand ambassador, representing EUM and the broader TWK Agri organization at official community events, trade shows, and public engagements.

• Direct experience working within funeral insurance, life insurance, broader financial services, or highly competitive retail environments.

• Proven competence in new business lead acquisition, client relationship preservation, and policy retention loops.

Technical & Personal Competencies

• Fully computer literate with practical proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).
