In this weeks’ Scale Your Sales Podcast episode, my guest is Nwamaka Udenigwe.

I am Nwamaka Udenigwe, a Commercial Strategist and Sales Architect helping organizations lead grassroots-to-scale sales transformation. I build sustainable revenue systems, optimize sales structures, and design go-to-market strategies that deliver results. I don’t just create strategy — I help implement what it takes to grow.

In today’s episode of Scale Your Sales podcast, Nwamaka shares her journey from selling bead jewelry and cakes to building a successful sales career across insurance, pharmaceuticals, and direct selling in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa. She discusses blending Nordic operational systems with Nigeria’s entrepreneurial energy to empower women through digital D2C models. Nwamaka outlines how AI chatbots and innovative onboarding systems are transforming engagement and solving major sales challenges, while emphasizing the power of community, trust, and personal development. This insightful conversation with Janice highlights practical strategies for scalable success and the vital role of intentional systems in driving growth.
