Why Hire Cold Callers in South Africa?

Hiring a full-time cold caller in South Africa through Switchstack costs $2,199 a month (about $12.69 an hour), or $2,899 a month if we run the calling for you. South African callers are the best fit for clients calling the UK, Ireland and Germany. English-first callers on European hours, just one or two hours ahead of London.

English is the main language of business in South Africa, and many callers speak it as a first language. For buyers who are quick to hang up on an unfamiliar accent, that matters.

South Africa is one hour ahead of the UK in summer and two in winter, so a UK or Irish business day is a normal day shift. The country has a well-established call centre industry serving UK and other English-speaking clients.

Many callers speak English as a first language
UK, Irish and continental European business days are a normal day shift
Day shifts also cover Morocco and the Gulf
Afternoon and evening shifts reach the US East Coast

The trade-off: South African callers cost more than callers in the Philippines or India. Power cuts have hit South Africa in the past, so we check every caller's backup power and internet before they start.

FAQ

Hiring South African Cold Callers: FAQs

Price, hours and vetting for callers in South Africa.

How much does it cost to hire a cold caller in South Africa?

Hire a Caller costs $2,199 a month for a full-time caller in South Africa, about $12.69 an hour. That includes the caller's pay, their contract, payments and equipment. We Call for You, where we also write the script and manage the caller every day, costs $2,899 a month.

What hours will my South African caller work?

Your business hours, 40 hours a week. Where that falls in Johannesburg's day depends on where your prospects are; the table on this page shows it for each market.

How do you vet callers?

Every candidate does role-play calls using your offer, and we check their English, how they handle objections and how they sound on the phone. You hear the recordings and approve the caller before they start.

Can a South African caller cover US hours?

Partly. A 9am to 5pm day on the US East Coast is an afternoon and evening shift in South Africa, which works. West Coast hours run past midnight, so for those we usually suggest the Philippines or Latin America instead.

What about power cuts?

South Africa has had long periods of scheduled power cuts. Before a caller starts, we check that they have backup power and a backup internet connection, so your calls don't stop when the grid does.

What if the caller isn't a good fit?

Tell us within the first 30 days and we replace them for free. After that, it's month-to-month with 30 days' notice.

Can I compare callers from South Africa with other countries?

Yes. If you're not sure which country fits, we can test candidates from more than one of our countries on your script, and you choose after hearing the recordings.
