Entry Level Sales Jobs in the Philippines: Where to Find Them

Entry level sales jobs in the Philippines are commonly posted on Jobstreet, Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor, with hundreds of listings open at any given time in cities like Cebu City and Manila. Most of these roles — sales associate, inside sales representative, or junior account executive — do not require a sales background, just the willingness to learn and talk to customers. Below is where to look, what the jobs actually involve, and how to stand out even if you have never sold anything before.

What Are Entry Level Sales Jobs?

Entry level sales jobs are positions open to jobseekers with little or no prior sales experience. According to Coursera, common starting roles include outside sales representative, inside sales representative, sales associate, and junior account executive. These jobs usually involve talking to prospective customers, explaining a product or service, and closing a sale or passing a qualified lead to a senior salesperson.

In the Philippines, these roles exist across many industries — retail, real estate, BPO-linked sales accounts, insurance, telecoms, and B2B software. Many companies hire fresh graduates or career shifters because the role is considered trainable: what matters most is attitude, communication skills, and resilience when facing rejection.

Where to Find Entry Level Sales Jobs in the Philippines?

The fastest way to find entry level sales jobs is to search directly on the major job portals used in the Philippines. Each site has a slightly different focus, so it helps to check more than one.

• Jobstreet — one of the most used portals locally; Jobstreet lists hundreds of entry level sales openings, including 224 in Cebu City alone according to Jobstreet.
• Indeed — Indeed Philippines has a dedicated search for entry level sales representative roles in Manila and other cities, with listings updated regularly according to Indeed.
• LinkedIn — LinkedIn shows nationwide listings; at the time of writing, LinkedIn had 165 entry level sales jobs posted across the Philippines according to LinkedIn.
• Glassdoor — Glassdoor also tracks openings together with company ratings, showing 86 entry level sales representative jobs in the Philippines according to Glassdoor.
• Mynimo — for jobseekers in Cebu specifically, Mynimo has a category for sales, marketing, and retail jobs requiring one year of experience or less, according to Mynimo.

How Many Entry Level Sales Jobs Are Available Right Now?

The number of open listings changes daily, but the portals give a useful snapshot of demand. Here is a comparison based on the latest figures from each source:

Job Portal	Coverage	Listings Found
Jobstreet	Cebu City, Cebu	224 jobs
LinkedIn	Nationwide (Philippines)	165 jobs
Glassdoor	Nationwide (Philippines)	86 jobs
Indeed	Manila and other cities	Updated regularly, no fixed total
Mynimo	Cebu (sales, marketing, retail)	Multiple active postings

This shows that entry level sales roles are consistently in demand, especially in Metro Manila and Cebu, which are the two biggest hiring hubs for sales talent in the country.

Do Entry Level Sales Jobs Require Prior Experience?

Most entry level sales jobs are designed for jobseekers with no sales background, but some postings still ask for a short amount of related experience. For example, one Indeed posting for an entry level sales representative role asked for a minimum of six months of experience in outbound sales, telemarketing, or a similar role, according to Indeed. This does not mean you need years of experience — it simply means employers prefer applicants who have already handled a phone-based or customer-facing role, even briefly.

If you have zero experience at all, focus on applying to postings that clearly state "no experience needed" or "fresh graduates welcome," and highlight any customer service, call center, or part-time retail work you have done, even if it was not formally a sales role.

What Skills Do Employers Look for in Entry Level Sales Candidates?

According to ZipRecruiter, the core job of an entry level sales representative is to promote a product or service, reach out to leads, and evaluate whether a prospect is a good fit before closing or escalating the sale. Based on this, employers in the Philippines typically screen for:

1. Clear spoken and written communication, in both English and Filipino.
2. Comfort with cold outreach — calls, messages, or walk-in customers.
3. Basic ability to handle objections ("too expensive," "I'll think about it," "I'm not interested") without getting discouraged.
4. Willingness to meet daily or monthly targets.
5. Reliability — showing up on time and following up with leads consistently.

None of these require a sales diploma. They are learnable, and this is exactly why many companies treat entry level sales as a training ground rather than a role that filters out beginners.

How Do You Get an Entry Level Sales Job With No Experience?

Since most companies hiring for entry level sales jobs expect to train new hires, the goal of your application is to show potential, not a resume full of sales history. A few practical steps:

• Apply through multiple portals at once (Jobstreet, Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor) since each site has different employers posting.
• Set your LinkedIn profile and resume headline to match common job titles like "Sales Associate" or "Inside Sales Representative," since recruiters search by these exact terms.
• Practice answering tough customer pushbacks out loud before your interview, since many entry level sales interviews include a short roleplay.
• Be ready to explain, in your own words, how you would respond if a customer says "I'm not interested" or "it's too expensive."

This last point is where most first-time applicants struggle, because objection handling is rarely taught in school. Apps like Ventaka were built for exactly this gap — you go through short, 3-minute lessons, then practice live with an AI customer that raises real objections, so you walk into the interview (or the actual job) having already handled the pushback at least once. Ventaka also sends daily sales job alerts, which is useful on top of checking Jobstreet or Indeed yourself.
