Sales Persons Needed

 

 

Among the many distinguishing aspects of BURN Manufacturing, makers of the Jikokoa and Kuniokoa clean cookstoves, is our post-sale customer care strategy. Our After Sales Department manages a variety of programs which support end-user customers after they have made their stove purchases. Among the department’s roles:

• Warranty Program: BURN offers customers a two-year stove warranty. The After Sales Department manages the warranty program and maintains a database of customers who register their stoves via an SMS system following their purchases. Currently, approximately 30% of stoves purchased are registered in our warranty program.

• Customer Care: Based in our Ruiru office, our call center has a five-person, bilingual (Kiswahili and English) team of customer care professionals who respond to customer telephone calls and messages. They provide general support, troubleshoot problems, coordinate product returns and direct customers to repair stations if their stoves are broken. We utilize case management methodologies for tracking and resolving customer complaints and product-related issues.

• Service Stations: BURN is the only clean cookstove manufacturer which supports a network of more than 50 service stations in Kenya staffed by technicians specially trained to repair Jikokoas and Kuniokoas. The After Sales Department manages the stations, tracks their repairs, and is responsible for stocking them with repair parts and tools.

The department is led by the Vice President of Marketing and an After Sales Manager, both of whom have been with BURN for approximately six months. We seek to retain a highly experienced after sales/call center/customer service consultant who can analyze the department’s structure and processes, identify gaps and areas for improvement, devise a customized framework for restructuring its activities/processes to maximize productivity and efficiencies, and support the restructuring’s initial implementations. We wish to start this engagement immediately and expect it to last approximately 2-3 months.
