What exactly is a commercial clerk?

A commercial clerk combines sales and administration. You are the first point of contact for customers, you prepare quotations, process orders and follow up on the relationship. Unlike a pure salesperson, you combine commercial talent with structured administrative work, often in an inside sales role at the office.

How much does a full-time commercial clerk earn in Flanders?

A starting commercial clerk earns an average of €2,200 to €2,500 gross per month. With a few years of experience, this can increase to €3,000 or more, depending on the sector and region. Additional benefits such as bonuses, meal vouchers or a company car significantly increase the total package.

What education or experience do I need?

Employers often require at least a secondary school diploma, preferably in a commercial field such as Office or Commerce. Experience in a customer-oriented role is equally important. Some companies offer internal training, so that motivated school leavers also get a chance.

What is the difference between an inside and outside commercial clerk?

An inside commercial clerk works from the office and supports sales by phone or email. An outside commercial clerk actively goes out to visit customers. Full-time positions exist for both, but inside jobs are more common and are ideal if you prefer structured work in one location.

Can I start full-time right after school?

Absolutely. Many companies in Flanders offer starter positions with guidance and growth opportunities. If you are motivated, eager to learn and have a commercial flair, you have a good chance. Sign up for our job matcher and discover which employers are open to young talent.
