Old Mutual Uganda has unveiled its 2026 Incentives Programme, aimed at rewarding high-performing agents and strengthening the company’s sales force in an increasingly competitive financial services market.
The programme was launched on Thursday, March 12, during an event held at Hotel Africana in Kampala that brought together agents, company executives, and industry experts to celebrate the dedication and excellence demonstrated by the sales team over the past year.
The initiative is designed to motivate agents to maintain high performance while reinforcing their critical role in delivering financial solutions to customers across the country.
Speaking at the event, Zac Kisesi, Managing Director of Old Mutual Investment Group, reminded agents that the financial advisory profession has evolved significantly, requiring continuous learning and adaptation.
“The skills of a financial advisor from 10 years ago are no longer enough in today’s rapidly evolving industry,” Kisesi said, urging agents to stay updated with new trends, innovations, and industry developments to remain relevant and competitive.
Caroline Tayebwa, Head of Marketing and Distribution at Old Mutual General Insurance, commended the agents for their contribution to the growth and visibility of the brand.
“Today, I celebrate and appreciate each one of you. I also extend my gratitude to management for creating the opportunity for us to sell and thrive in such a competitive market,” Tayebwa said.
She also applauded the agents for representing the brand effectively through strong personal branding and consistent engagement in the market.
“To our ambassadors, we do not take your contribution for granted. Thank you for representing the brand so well through your personal branding and the way you show up in the market every day. Your commitment and partnership mean a great deal to us,” she added.
Tayebwa encouraged the sales team to remain focused on their purpose and ambition as they pursue greater success.
“We are here not just to win, but to win big And to do that, we must stay grounded in our purpose, clearly understanding our ‘why’ as a sales team. When our purpose is clear, our impact becomes even greater.”
During the event, agents also received insights on strengthening their professional presence in the market.
Lyn Tukei, a personal branding expert at Brand Help and Deputy Secretary General at the Public Relations Association of Uganda (PRAU), guided the agents on how to intentionally build and manage their personal brands.
She noted that personal branding is shaped by public perception and the reputation one builds over time.
“How do you work towards being known as a financial advisor? You have to intentionally position yourself as one,” Tukei said.
“Communicate your unique value proposition, showcase your expertise, and guide people on what they need to do to succeed, showing how you can empower them along the way.”
The 2026 incentives programme is expected to further energise Old Mutual’s sales force as the company continues expanding its reach and strengthening relationships with customers across Uganda.
