Questions companies ask before appointing us.
Is Von Zenj a recruitment agency?
No. Von Zenj Ltd is a B2B commercial company. We do not place staff with you — we perform sales, customer handling and business development work on your behalf as your outsourced commercial team in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Do we need to register a company in Tanzania to work with you?
No. Most clients engage us precisely because they do not yet have a local entity. We represent your company commercially under an agreed mandate. If registration later becomes worthwhile, we can support that decision with real market evidence.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on scope, geography, intensity and commercial model. Every engagement starts with a written proposal covering deliverables, KPIs and terms — retainer, commission-based or hybrid.
Which areas do you cover?
Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam and mainland Tanzania, with wider East African coverage on request.
Will you represent competing companies in the same sector?
No. Where a mandate requires exclusivity in a defined sector and territory, that is written into the agreement.
How do we know what you are doing each month?
You receive a monthly commercial report: calls handled, enquiries received, leads generated, meetings arranged, quotations issued, follow-ups completed, sales and conversion rate.
Can you handle communication in Swahili?
Yes. All customer-facing work is handled in Swahili and English, in local business hours.
