In the role of Distribution Director I was tasked with growing and managing relationships with contracted independent Financial Advisors / Brokers in the Western Cape province of South Africa, with the aim of recruiting their support and gaining commitment to sell the BrightRock benefits to their client bases.My key areas of focus were to identify and target independentsand brokerage practices and sell the value proposition and differentiators, setting BrightRock apart from competitors in the market.In addition to this I delivered regular training across the advisor base, updating and deepening their product & process knowledge to ultimately identify potential business within their portfolios.A critical element of this relationship was the end to end ‘hand holding’ with the first few cases of business submitted, from pre-underwriting to submission right through to the issuing of the policy.Having a deep understanding of the environment that self-employed independents operate in and the complex intricacies of the medical and financial underwriting requirements & their limitations was crucial in gaining commitment and repeat support.

I head up the Sales arm of Nedbank@Work in the Western Cape. In this position I managed fifteen FAIS (Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act) compliant 'Bankers On Call' (BOC) and one Sales Support (SS) administrator. My BOCs were responsible for sourcing new clients and generating sales across the transactional accounts, homeloan and investment banking products, for which I was accountable for delivering on my region's targets in each product category. I worked in collaboration with the Nedbank@Work 'Key Account Executive' (KAE) in the Western Cape, who headed up the relationship arm of the business. The KAE's 'KARMs’ (Key Account Relationship Manager) created opportunities for my team of BOCs to sell in the workplaces of businesses that bank with Nedbank, through Financial Fitness workshops for their employees. The role required that I had and maintained strong relationships with a variety of internal and external stakeholders and that I was actively managing the number of sales 'activations' that my BOCs attended and their sales performance through coaching and performance management.
