Results-driven Branch Manager improving sales, compliance, and customer retention.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Branch Manager with 18+ years of experience in financial services, administration, and remote administration & virtual operations management. I lead branch teams to improve branch performance, increase revenue, and deliver excellent customer service.
In my current role as Branch Manager (Promotion), I manage full branch operations including staff, resources, and performance. I increased branch sales from R3 million to R6 million average, and I lead recruitment, training, and performance management of staff.
I oversee loan approvals and compliance using CRM systems, assessing FICA documents while ensuring adherence to company policies and procedures. I also manage reporting, reconciliations, and administrative processes to keep operations accurate, efficient, and client-focused.
Previously, as a Front Office Manager (Promotion) and Consultant, I supported branch operations, assisted clients with loan applications and queries, and processed loans via CRM systems. Across roles, I’ve maintained strong outcomes—90% client retention, 95% average collection success, and Top Performer / Best Branch Manager awards—while staying consistent, disciplined, and people-oriented.
