Travel Sales Agent

The role

This is a sales job without the part that usually makes sales jobs miserable. There is no cold calling and no chasing strangers. Everyone you’d talk to has already written to us: travellers from the US and UK who found the site, looked at the tours and asked about booking a safari.

Your job is to take them from “I want this” to a booked trip. You answer their questions, send them itineraries, keep the conversation moving, and close the booking.

What you’d actually do

Almost everything happens on WhatsApp and email. A normal week looks like this:

• Reply to new enquiries with itineraries and trip info
• Answer questions about parks, lodges, dates and prices
• Follow up with people who've gone quiet, so warm leads don't go cold
• Keep the CRM tidy, so we always know where every lead stands
• Close bookings

There’s a second part of the job we care about almost as much: noticing repetitive work and saying so. The company runs on AI tooling we build in-house, and most of it exists because someone got tired of doing the same thing twice. You’d get hands-on access to that stack from your first week.

Why this role is different

You’d be our first hire. The company is two founders today, which means the job description above is honest but unfinished. Whoever takes this role gets to shape what it turns into.

You’d report directly to both of us, because there is no one else to report to. And the AI angle is real rather than decoration on a job ad: Viesturs is an engineer and builds our automations himself, so when you suggest a better way to handle replies or follow-ups, it tends to ship the same week.

Who you’d work with

Karlis ran product at Bolt, where Africa is a major market. That’s how he first ended up in Tanzania and Kenya, and eventually in the safari business. He goes to ITB Berlin and WTM London every year and would train you on the sales playbook from zero.

Viesturs spent over a decade building products from scratch, from website builders to video games, and now builds and runs the whole tech platform here, from the website to the AI tools. More about both of us on the jobs page.

What you get

Base pay is €12 an hour for roughly 10 to 15 hours a week, scheduled around your classes and exams. On top of that you earn 5% of every trip you close. A typical trip pays about €230 in commission, and there is no cap. One closed trip a week works out to around €1,000 a month on top of base pay.

You don’t need sales experience or safari knowledge to start. You get the full sales playbook, training from Karlis, and access to the AI tools we run the company on, with a say in what gets built next. The work is remote from day one and stays that way.

Who fits, and who doesn’t

You’d do well here if you write fluent, natural English (every client is American or British), you stay organized when ten conversations are moving at once, and you’re comfortable messaging or calling people you’ve never met. Working without supervision should feel normal to you, and some curiosity about AI tools goes a long way.

You’d be unhappy here if you want a fixed script and a rigid schedule, if you tend to go quiet and let follow-ups slip, or if you expect guaranteed money without putting the work in. Commission rewards effort. That’s the point of it.
