Hybrid
M-KOPA is a pan-African fintech redefining what financial inclusion looks like in practice. We've unlocked over $2 billion in credit, reached 7 million customers, and built a business where 55% of those customers are accessing financial services for the very first time. With 2,300+ employees operating across Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa, we're in the middle of one of the most ambitious expansions in African fintech — and we're building the team to match.
Based in Accra, Ghana on a hybrid schedule and reporting to the Telesales Team Lead, the Telesales Representative – Inbound sits within M-KOPA's Customer Retention group. You'll be the voice customers hear when they're ready to grow — helping them upgrade devices, access new services, and make the most of their M-KOPA relationship. This is sales, retention, and customer success rolled into one.
Most Telesales roles are about moving units. This one is about moving lives. When an M-KOPA customer calls, they may be weighing a decision that genuinely changes their financial trajectory; a better phone, access to credit, a tool that helps them earn more. Your job isn't to close a sale. It's to help someone make a decision that's right for them, and trust that the impact speaks for itself.
Handle inbound customer upgrade and device requests end-to-end; verifying customer information, understanding their needs, and connecting them to the right products and plans with confidence and care.
Identify and convert upsell opportunities naturally within every customer interaction, offering additional products and services that genuinely enhance the customer's M-KOPA experience.
Provide device and app support when customers need it, troubleshooting issues and ensuring customers walk away from every call more empowered than when they called in.
Demonstrable experience in a call centre or customer service environment, with exposure to Sales or Telesales and a proven ability to build trust with customers quickly over the phone.
Strong communication skills and natural empathy; you know how to listen, how to guide, and how to turn a hesitant customer into a confident one.
Comfort with CRM systems and digital tools, or the demonstrated ability to pick them up fast — accuracy and documentation matter as much as the conversation itself.
The Honest Part
This is a hybrid role with real daily targets. You'll be handling a high volume of inbound calls, managing multiple tasks at once, and expected to deliver results consistently — not just on good days. If you're someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and finds satisfaction in solving problems under pressure, this role will energise you. If you need heavy supervision to stay focused, it probably won't.
