From Professor to Top Partner: How Pascal Built a 2,000+ Drivers Across Three Countries
Location: Angola 🇦🇴 | Namibia 🇳🇦 | Senegal 🇸🇳 Active Drivers: 2,100+ Timeline: Less than 2 years Pascal started as a teacher and became one of Yango's top partners in Africa. Today, she manages over 2,100 active drivers across three countries. Here's how she did it.
The Results
- Angola: 1,7k+ drivers
- Namibia: 200+ drivers
- Senegal: 200+ drivers
Her 54 scouts brought in 70% of all new drivers. In Senegal alone, they recruited over 100 drivers every month.
Three Simple Strategies That Worked
1. Use Scouts Who Get Results
Pascal hired 54 scouts (36 in Angola) and paid them only when drivers completed real trips:
- 15 trips = first payment
- 115 trips = bigger bonus
- 315 trips = biggest bonus
Scouts who don't bring at least 7 drivers per month are let go. This keeps everyone focused on quality.
2. Brand Your Business on the Streets
Pascal didn't just use online ads. She put up:
- Billboards near taxi stands and busy areas
- Branded tents in key locations
- Clear office signs
Result: 30% more driver sign-ups from outdoor branding.
3. Treat Your Team Like Family
Pascal's approach is simple: pay on time, support your team, and build trust.
- Always pay scouts when promised
- Organize team events (like Ramadan dinners)
- Give branded shirts and materials
- Set clear goals everyone can track
As Pascal says: "Trust your team, pay fairly, and control results—growth follows."
What You Can Do Today
- Start small: Begin with 5–10 scouts and track results in Fleetroom.
- Use outdoor branding: Put up signs near taxi offices, car washes, and busy streets.
- Pay for results: Only pay when drivers complete real trips (15, 115, or 315 trips).
- Build trust: Pay on time. Be fair. Stay in touch.
- Train your scouts: Let your best performers teach new ones.
