When your business buys airtime regularly, small questions pile up: how do we place a bigger order, who do we ask about a payment, what suits our team best? That is where a dedicated account manager airtime benefit helps: you have one person to go to instead of starting from scratch each time. On TekeTeke Airtime, this comes with the Teke Elite plan.
What is a dedicated account manager?
A dedicated account manager is a single, named contact who looks after your account. Instead of explaining your situation to someone new every time, you speak to the same person who already understands how your business uses airtime.
Think of it like having a regular supplier you can call, rather than a shop where you queue and hope for the best. The idea is continuity and convenience.
How it helps with bulk orders and questions
Teke Elite is designed for larger purchases, from KSh 6,000 to KSh 11,000, and it comes with the highest bulk discounts. Having someone to talk to about those purchases is a natural fit.
In general terms, a dedicated contact can help you with:
- Understanding how bulk purchases work for your business.
- Planning your airtime around busy periods, such as a sales campaign or the festive season.
- Answering questions about your account or a particular transaction.
- Talking through options such as automated top-ups or airtime gifting.

|---|---|
| Tops up for several staff each month | One person knows your routine and your usual amounts |
| Buys before big campaigns | You can discuss timing ahead instead of rushing |

| Has questions about a payment | You know exactly who to ask |

Is Teke Elite the right plan for you?
Not every business needs it. If your top-ups are smaller and occasional, Teke Basic (KSh 10 to KSh 1,999) may be all you need. If you buy in the middle range and want automated top-ups and bulk discounts, look at Teke Pro (KSh 2,000 to KSh 5,999).
