WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TELESALES REPRESENTATIVE - OUTBOUND TO JOIN OUR CUSTOMER RETENTION TEAM AND DRIVE SALES GROWTH BY CONNECTING EXISTING CUSTOMERS WITH M-KOPA'S LIFE-CHANGING PRODUCTS. This role offers the opportunity to be more than just a salesperson—you'll be the voice that introduces customers to opportunities they didn't know were possible. Every call you make connects an existing M-KOPA customer to products that could transform their life—a smartphone that opens up digital opportunities, a solar system that brings reliable light to their home, or a cash loan that helps their business grow. You'll achieve sales targets not through pressure, but through genuine connection and understanding. Working with a passionate Customer Retention team, your success directly supports our mission of making essential products and services accessible to underserved communities across Africa.

You're calling existing M-KOPA customers—people who already trust the brand, who've already experienced our products, and who are genuinely interested in what else we can offer. You're not cold calling strangers about products they don't need. You're introducing upgrades, add-ons, and new offerings to people who are already part of the M-KOPA family. The conversations are warmer. The receptiveness is higher. The satisfaction of closing a sale comes with knowing you've genuinely helped someone access something valuable.
