This process is intended to improve overall member engagement and increase product utilization.

Sales Representatives will engage individuals, groups, and organizations that may present opportunities for partnership or membership growth. Through consistent and professional interaction, the job holder will help build trust and reinforce the Sacco’s reputation as a reliable financial partner.
These relationships are expected to support long-term growth by creating opportunities for repeat engagement, referrals, and increased product patronage.
Training and Marketing Support Activities
The Sales Representatives will be involved in organizing and supporting training activities in liaison with the Marketing Team. These activities may be aimed at educating members, potential members, or stakeholders about the Sacco’s products, services, and processes. The job holder may assist in coordinating logistics, mobilizing participants, and supporting the delivery of training sessions as required.
Participation in these activities is intended to enhance awareness, improve product understanding, and support informed participation among members.
Monitoring and Reporting
The role includes responsibility for monitoring the performance of various marketing strategies and initiatives. Sales Representatives will collect relevant data, track progress against targets, and assess the effectiveness of marketing activities. Based on these observations, the job holder will contribute to identifying areas for improvement and opportunities to enhance results.
Regular reporting is a core requirement of the position. Sales Representatives will be required to prepare and submit weekly and monthly reports detailing activities undertaken, results achieved, challenges encountered, and recommendations for improvement. These reports will support management decision-making and help guide future marketing efforts.
