01 — Our signature model

The performance engine driving growth. 

Sales partners are good at reporting activity — visits made, calls dialled, staff placed. None of it tells you whether the sale happened, or why it didn't. We built the opposite.

Every store, agent and conversation sits inside one performance loop: deploy, measure, diagnose, fix, scale. It runs daily, not quarterly. When it finds a gap, we close it that week.

02 — What we run

We help brands win where it matters most, at the point of sale.

Retail, field and call centre — integrated, not siloed. A lead generated on the street gets closed in-store or on the phone, and the whole journey is tracked.

04 — What makes it perform

The difference between placed and performing.

Anyone can place people in stores. Keeping them selling is a different discipline.

Mystery Shopper Intelligence
If you can’t measure it, you can’t fix it.

Every month, we send mystery shoppers into every store to audit what actually happens on the floor — service, product knowledge, sales behaviour, in-store experience.

The results go straight into the next week’s action plan.

Clear gaps → immediate action → continuous improvement.
Training & Sales Academy
We don’t hire talent. We build it.

Our internal training centre develops teams across the entire retail value chain: conversion technique, product mastery, customer experience, leadership and store management, call centre operations.

Sales teams that outperform — consistently.
Data, Insights & Optimisation
Data drives everything we do.

Sales performance tracking, consumer behaviour insight, and a daily optimisation loop that moves resource toward whatever is converting.

Smarter decisions. Better results. Faster growth.

EF Telco started with 7 kiosks in the North West. Today we operate 45+ retail stores across the country’s key trade zones, with new sites opening monthly, 700+ sales agents in store and 1000+ DSF agents on the ground.

We came to EF Telco with a footprint that wasn’t converting. Within two quarters, the same stores were selling 40% more — and for the first time we could see exactly why.

03 — Positioning

Trained for performance. Backed to deliver.

700+ sales agents in our stores and 1000+ DSF agents on the ground — and every one of them came through the same academy.

Performance here is expected, and it's supported. Every team member knows what good looks like, gets trained until they can deliver it, and sees their results as they happen. When they hit the number, it's recognised.

Clear KPIs

Everyone knows exactly what they're measured on.

Continuous training

Through the academy, from day one and ongoing.

Incentives & rewards

Performance is recognised, and paid for.

Real-time tracking

People see their own numbers, not just their manager.

THE RESULT
a team that knows the product, understands the customer, and closes the sale.
04 — Scale

From 7 kiosks in Rustenburg to 45+ stores across South Africa — and still opening monthly.
