The Telesales Lead is a driver of our growth engine. At Moniepoint, we don't just sell products; we provide the fuel (capital) that Nigerian businesses need to thrive. This role is about managing outbound engagement with precision, ensuring our loan products reach the entrepreneurs who need them most.
You will lead a team of agents, turning conversations into opportunities. You’ll be responsible for maintaining high energy, operational discipline, and a human-first approach to sales that aligns with our brand’s mission of creating financial happiness.
Key Responsibilities
Lead with Energy & Mastery: Supervise and mentor a team of outbound agents. You aren't just checking boxes; you’re coaching your team to master the art of persuasion and objection handling.
Mastery of the Narrative: Ensure all agents are fluent in our sales scripts and workflows. You’ll make sure they don’t just "read a script" but actually engage customers in a relatable, professional way.
Performance Architecture: Monitor the heartbeat of the sales floor—call volumes, conversion rates, and drop-off points. You identify the "why" behind the numbers and implement fixes fast.
Operational Discipline: Maintain a high standard of compliance. You’ll ensure that every sale is handled with integrity and that customer data is treated with the highest level of confidentiality.
Gap Analysis: Keep a sharp eye on the sales process. If there’s a friction point preventing a business from getting a loan, you’ll find it, document it, and escalate it to the right stakeholders.
Continuous Growth: Support the onboarding of new joiners and lead ongoing training sessions. We want our team to grow as fast as our business does.
