Sales Training Manager

Distribution

Purpose of the Role

As a Sales Training Manager, you will be responsible for designing, delivering, and embedding practical training and coaching programs that equip HSBC Team Heads with the leadership capabilities required to drive insurance sales activity management and improve frontline performance.

The primary objective of your role is to support Team Heads who have transitioned from Relationship Manager roles into people leadership roles. As the Sales Training Manager, you will help them shift from being individual contributors to effective sales leaders who can coach Relationship Managers, manage activity discipline, strengthen insurance sales conversations, and grow sustainable insurance performance across the HSBC bancassurance channel.

Your role will partner closely with HSBC Channel Sales Leadership, Team Heads, Branch and Wealth Management stakeholders, and Allianz learning, product, and distribution teams. While the role strongly influences insurance productivity, activation, conversion, and penetration, accountability for sales production and revenue targets remains with HSBC Distribution Leadership and frontline sales teams.

Insurance Sales Capability Reinforcement: Support Team Heads in reinforcing core insurance selling behaviors among Relationship Managers, including customer needs discovery, protection and wealth conversations, product positioning, objection handling, campaign execution, compliance readiness, and quality customer outcomes. Conduct onboarding, product, and fund trainings for Relationship Managers to ensure strong baseline readiness, product knowledge, investment fund understanding, and confidence in customer conversations.
Learning Effectiveness and Business Impact Measurement: Track training adoption, leadership behavior change, coaching quality, and application of activity management routines; use performance and capability insights to refine training interventions and recommend improvements to stakeholders.
Stakeholder Partnership: Build strong working relationships with HSBC Channel Sales Leadership, Team Heads, Branch and Wealth Management stakeholders, HSBC Training, and Allianz Product, Marketing, Distribution, and Learning teams to ensure training priorities remain aligned with business needs.
