JOB DETAILS:
Copia brings all consumers a high-quality shopping service regardless of their income level, access to technology or location. Using digital technology, a network of Agents who operate as ordering and delivery points and an internally managed world-class fulfillment and delivery system, we are opening up distribution to hundreds of millions of the world’s population who cannot conveniently access affordable goods.
Are you ready to join a fast-growing organization that is revolutionizing how low and middle-income customers use mobile commerce to access quality goods at affordable prices? Copia Global is looking for an outstanding, entrepreneurially minded Sales Training Manager who wants to play a pivotal role in equipping our sales teams and Agents with the capabilities to take us to the next level.
About the Role:

Reporting to the VP Sales, the Sales Training Manager will work with our field based sales teams, our delivery teams and our tele-sales teams to ensure that they have the required capabilities to most effectively drive revenue through the Agent network. You will also be responsible for owning the Agent Training framework and working closely with Agent trainers in the field. This is a very critical, hands-on, individual contributor role and you will be developing and delivering content and programs yourself as well as training trainers. .

Job Responsibilities;
Amongst other things, specifically you will:
• Develop the correct messaging and mediums to effectively train Agents – this may include group or individual training sessions (in person or on phone), utilizing booklets, video, SMS or other channels.

• Train all relevant team members – field, inside, delivery - on how to most effectively deliver this training.
• Co-coordinate all aspects of Sales Trainee Onboarding including content development, content delivery, post-onboarding coaching and follow-up training reminders. You will own this training agenda and continually update it and optimize on it.

• Develop e-learning programs to complement in-person training for sales teams.
• Spend time in the field to coach and identify training gaps for the sales teams and Agents.
