The engagement will provide a window of job opportunity
for Nigerian youths to acquire requisite
skills needed for growing online
shopping communities in their immediate
environment and prepare them for the Jumia Black Friday and beyond.
The first training session will be held in Lagos on 9th
November. Abuja training session will be
held on 13th November, while Ibadan is slated for 11th November.
Commenting on the initiative, Head of Offline Sales Jumia
Nigeria, Isedowo Tunde, said it will expose the agents to how they can tap into
opportunities around them to earn an
income from the e-commerce ecosystem.
“Over the years, JForce has continued to serve as a source
of income for thousands of Nigerian youth. However, becoming a JForce agent
doesn’t automatically translate to earning the stipulated commission. So we
will be training the agents on how to source for consumers and make sales in
their neighborhood, and within their network.
“Jumia Black Friday is the biggest annual sales event for
the eCommerce platform which enables
consumers to make the most discounted purchases. We will prep and
educate our Jforce agents on how they can leverage Black Friday for maximum
sales and commission. Top performers during the training will be recruited and
integrated into our JForce network,” she said.
The JForce initiative is a network of sales consultants with
a profit-sharing scheme in which the agent, who is also a Jumia customer, earns
a certain percentage as commission for successful orders placed for self or for
others on Jumia’s retail chains. Jumia currently has more than 40,000 JForce
agents spread across its African market.
Jumia Black Friday sales are already on, and the window is
open till 30th November.
