Sales Jobs No Experience: How to Find Them in Australia

Sales jobs no experience are easier to find in Australia than most job seekers expect — thousands are advertised right now on SEEK, Indeed, Jora and LinkedIn, many offering paid in-house training. This guide shows you exactly where to search, what the roles pay, and what employers actually expect from someone starting with zero sales background.

A discussion on r/AusFinance makes a similar point: someone browsing SEEK for entry-level sales positions in Sydney described finding "an overwhelming amount" of listings — confirming that the supply of beginner-friendly roles is real, not just marketing spin from job boards.

Where should I look for sales jobs no experience in Australia?

Each portal tends to surface slightly different roles, so it's worth checking more than one:

• SEEK — the largest pool nationally, with filters for salary, location and "no experience required" in the listing text itself.
• Indeed — strong for Sydney and Melbourne, and includes hourly-rate roles such as appointment setting alongside commission-based ones.
• Jora — a good secondary source for Melbourne, with free email alerts so new listings land in your inbox.
• LinkedIn — smaller volume but useful for seeing which companies are hiring and following them directly.

Setting up alerts on two or three of these at once, rather than manually searching each day, is the most efficient way to catch new postings before hundreds of other applicants do.

What entry-level sales jobs can I apply for with no experience?

Listings for sales jobs no experience in Australia tend to fall into a handful of common titles:

• Entry Level Sales Representative — a general sales role, often with structured training.
• Appointment Setter — booking calls or meetings for a senior sales team, listed on Indeed with OTE up to $120K–$130K.
• Casual Sales Associate — in-store or retail-based selling, such as the Chadstone listing seen on LinkedIn.
• Customer Service Representative — a customer-facing role that frequently leads into a sales career.

Many of these listings specifically state that no sales experience is needed because paid in-house training is provided by the employer, according to SEEK's Sydney listings.

How much do entry-level sales jobs pay in Australia?

Pay structures vary a lot between roles, and most sales jobs combine a base rate with commission or an on-target-earnings (OTE) figure. Based on current listings:

• SEEK Sydney shows entry-level sales salaries ranging from $75,000–$85,000, with some listings advertising up to $120K+.
• SEEK Perth lists OTE of $900–$2,000 per week for no-experience sales roles.
• Indeed Sydney lists an Appointment Setter role at $120K–$130K OTE.
• Another Indeed Sydney listing offers $35.00 per hour plus commission, with a guaranteed 15 hours per week.

The spread is wide because "no experience" roles range from guaranteed hourly-rate positions to fully commission-driven ones. If a listing only shows an OTE figure without a base salary, it's worth asking during the interview how that number is actually calculated and how realistic it is for someone in their first few months.

What do employers expect if you have no sales experience?

Since the job itself has no formal experience requirement, employers tend to focus on a few things instead:

1. Communication confidence — being comfortable talking to strangers, whether on the phone or in person.
2. Coachability — a willingness to follow a sales script or process during the paid training period.
3. Resilience — handling rejection without it affecting your next call or conversation.
4. Basic product curiosity — asking questions about what you'll be selling shows genuine interest, not just a need for income.

Because so much of the hiring decision comes down to how you handle a live conversation rather than your CV, some beginners use tools like Ventaka to practise short lessons and role-play with an AI customer before their first interview or first week on the job — it's a low-pressure way to get a feel for real objections before facing a real customer. Ventaka also sends daily sales job alerts, which can complement the portals above.
