Sales Trainer (Mpumalanga)

M-KOPA

SALES REPRESENTATIVE — (MPUMALANGA)     You know how to sell. More than that — you know how to get other people selling. You've built relationships in your area, you understand how to motivate a team when the month gets tough, and you have the kind of local knowledge that no training manual can give someone. The question is whether your current role is giving you the freedom, the backing, and the mission to make the most of it. M-KOPA is looking for a Sales Executive to recruit, lead, and grow a team of Direct Sales Representatives (DSRs) — putting M-KOPA's products into the hands of customers who genuinely need them, in communities you know better than anyone.   WHAT M-KOPA IS BUILDING We've served more than 7 million customers across Africa, unlocking over $2 billion in credit. 55% of those customers are accessing formal financial services for the very first time. 86% report a meaningful improvement in their quality of life — and 70% use the products they finance through us to generate income. We're growing toward 10 million customers, and that growth happens one community, one DSR team, one sale at a time. Our product range includes smartphones, digital loans, device protection, health insurance, and mobile data. These aren't luxury items for people who already have options. They're tools that change how people live, earn, and connect — and the Sales Executive is the person who makes sure they're available where they're needed.     What the work actually looks like You'll be responsible for building and managing your own team of DSRs — recruiting the right people, coaching them up, and holding them accountable to performance standards that keep everyone growing. You'll monitor and evaluate DSR performance regularly, identify where individuals need support or development, and step in with the kind of hands-on coaching that turns an average month into a great one.   Beyond the team, you'll develop local networks that open up new sales opportunities — relationships with community members, local businesses, and anyone who can help M-KOPA reach more customers in your area. You'll manage DSR inventory, ensuring your team always has what they need to operate effectively, and you'll submit weekly activity plans and reports to your Regional Manager so that your progress — and your team's — is always visible.   The targets are real and the accountability is clear. This is a results-oriented role, and success is measured in numbers. But the way you get there — the relationships you build, the team you develop, the community presence you establish — is what makes this more than just a sales job.   What makes you ready for this A track record in sales — ideally in retail, fibre, insurance, or a comparable field-based environment — with experience managing or mentoring a team of agents or representatives and a demonstrable ability to drive performance through people, not just personal output Proven ability to build local networks and develop sales opportunities from the ground up, with the community knowledge, interpersonal skills, and self-motivation to operate independently in the field and consistently hit targets Strong practical skills across team coaching, inventory management, performance monitoring, and reporting — with the energy, reliability, and sense of ownership that a field sales leadership role demands Formal qualifications are welcome but not required. What matters is what you've done and what you can demonstrate.   A candid note on what this role requires Field sales is not a passive profession. You'll be out in your area, working alongside your DSRs, building relationships, solving problems, and keeping momentum going even when conditions aren't ideal. The targets don't pause, and the team looks to you to set the standard. If you're someone who gets energy from being in the field, takes ownership seriously, and finds satisfaction in watching a team member outperform their own expectations — this is your kind of role.   Why M-KOPA, and why now A lot of sales roles ask you to sell products to people who already have plenty of options. M-KOPA asks you to sell products to people who've been waiting for them. The customers your DSR team will serve — many accessing credit for the first time, many using a financed smartphone or appliance to build their livelihood — are the reason this work matters beyond the commission structure.   We're growing from 7 million toward 10 million customers. Every strong Sales Executive we bring on board is part of how that happens. If you're ready for a role that rewards your hustle, develops your leadership, and connects your work to something real — let's talk WHY M-KOPA? At M-KOPA, we empower our people to own their careers through diverse development programs, coaching partnerships, and on-the-job training. We support individual journeys with family-friendly policies, prioritize well-being, and embrace flexibility. Join us in shaping the future of M-KOPA as we grow together. Explore more at m-kopa.com.

Hello. We’re Teya. Teya was founded on a simple belief: local businesses deserve better. They are the cafés, restaurants, salons, shops and entrepreneurs that bring character to our high streets, create jobs and keep communities moving. Yet for too long, financial services has made life harder for them - with clunky tools, poor support and complexity that gets in the way of running a business. Teya exists to change that. We’re building a financial platform for local businesses across Europe - one built around simple tools, thoughtful design and real human support. Our Members rely on us to help them run their business with confidence, and that responsibility shapes the way we work. We move fast. We care about quality. We stay close to the detail. And we believe great performance and genuine hospitality should go hand in hand. If you want to build meaningful products, solve real problems and make a genuine difference for local businesses, we’d love to hear from you About the role As a Sales Trainer, you'll own the foundation every new Independent Sales Consultant (ISC) is built on. When someone signs up to partner with Teya, you're the person who turns them from a new joiner into a capable, confident seller who's genuinely bought into what we're doing – and set up to build a long-term business with us, not just make an early sale. This is a training role at its core. You'll spend your time in front of new cohorts and working with ISCs individually: getting them to understand and sell the Teya value proposition, grasp the ecosystem Teya gives merchants, and become confident, fluent users of our process and tools. You've sold payments yourself, and that credibility matters – but the job now is developing sellers, not being one. You'll be part of the enablement function, embedded within the Independent sales channel, reporting to the Sales Enablement Manager. What we're looking for: This role is much more about who you are, not what you've previously done. * Experience selling payment solutions or merchant services – preferred not required. Wether you have it or not, you know what a good deal looks like and what a good sales process is. * A genuine trainer and facilitator. You can hold a room's attention and understand the art of building engagement. * Someone who can develop people one-to-one – reading where an individual is, meeting them there, and building their capability and confidence from that point. * Someone people buy into. You instil motivation and belief, and ISCs leave your sessions more invested in Teya than when they arrived. * Adaptable. Some ISCs come with years of experience, others are new to the industry – you adjust your approach to get the best from both. * Sound judgement. You can tell when someone's genuinely ready, and you're honest and fair when they're not. What you'll be doing Developing sales competency * Get every ISC to understand and confidently sell the Teya value proposition and the ecosystem we give merchants. * Train ISCs on our process and tools until they're fluent, confident users. * Instil the standard from day one: the right customers, priced correctly. It's not about volume alone – ISCs need to bring in merchants who'll stay and transact, at pricing that works for them and for Teya. * Take ISCs from wherever they start to a point where they can hold their own in front of a customer. Facilitating strong training * Deliver engaging, high-energy cohort sessions that ISCs actively want to attend. * Tailor what you teach to what each group in front of you actually needs. Developing ISCs individually * Run focused 1:1 sessions that build individual capability, sharpen skills, and keep ISCs moving. * Spot who's finding their feet and who's struggling, and adjust your support accordingly. Building belief and buy-in * Be a motivating, encouraging presence ISCs want in their corner. * Give every ISC a strong reason to invest in Teya for the long term – so they don't just get their first sale, they build a business with us. Working across the channel * Work closely with recruitment to give feedback on the ISCs coming through and help sharpen who we bring in. * Partner with the Sales Managers on a clean handover, so the people taking each ISC forward have a clear picture of where they are. The Perks * Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass giving free access to over 1,500 gyms in the UK, 1-1 therapy, meditation sessions, digital fitness and nutrition apps * Extended and improved maternity and paternity leave choices, giving employees more flexibility and support * Cycle-to-Work Scheme * Health and Life Insurance * Pension Scheme * 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Bank Holidays) * Friendly, comfortable and informal office environment in Central London Teya is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
