    Prove You Can Build and Drive a Sales Unit

    This role is about leading a team of financial advisors to hit ambitious targets. Your application needs to show you understand sales management in insurance, not just selling.

    1. Quantify your sales wins: When describing your experience, use numbers. For example, 'Increased team sales by 30% in one year' or 'Recruited and trained 15 advisors'. This gives the hiring manager concrete evidence of your impact.

    2. Show your recruitment savvy: Since you'll be responsible for building your team, highlight any experience you have in sourcing, interviewing, and selecting sales talent. Mention how you've successfully grown a team before.

    3. Demonstrate your coaching ability: The role requires you to supervise and motivate advisors. Provide examples of how you've developed your team members, set KPIs, and conducted performance reviews to improve results.

    4. Highlight your IRA registration: Make sure your current IRA registration is clearly stated on your CV and in your cover letter. This is a mandatory requirement, so don't overlook it.

    5. Emphasize your insurance knowledge: Even if you have general sales experience, show that you understand insurance products, persistency ratios, and the regulatory environment. This will set you apart from candidates with only generic sales backgrounds.

    6. Prepare for a behavioral interview: Expect questions about how you've handled underperforming team members, resolved conflicts, or motivated a team during tough times. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers.

    7. Show your strategic thinking: The role involves developing strategies to grow sales. Be ready to discuss how you would approach the Eldoret market, build relationships with corporate entities, and identify new sales channels.

    8. Polish your presentation skills: You'll be making sales presentations to corporate clients. Be prepared to deliver a short presentation during the interview, and ensure your communication skills are sharp and persuasive.
