9. 3. SELLING STRATEGIES
Our MFI aims at educating customers with regard to
modern Microfinance facilities and financial products
available to them in order to promote financial inclusion of
the economically marginalized groups.
We help customers maintain their income and
expenditure budget and open a bank account for them so
that they can save in a safe place.
Through the course of this program, our staff faced
difficulty in providing ATM cards and cheque books to
our customers, as these they initially doubted whether our
customers could use ATM machines.
MAJOR CONCERN
Similarly, our customers were apprehensive about
operating ATM machines as they felt that their money
would disappear and the machine would swallow their ATM
card.
10. INNOVATIVE IDEA
We designed a dummy ATM machine which
had all the instructions displayed that a real ATM
machine has, in order to help the customers
practice using an ATM machine.
This Dummy ATM Machine should be of low
cost and established in less number . It is
attractive so that Mfi clients have some interest.
Practicing on the dummy ATM machine has
really boosted the confidence of the customers
and now they operate ATM machines without
any hesitation.
The branch team also carries this model to our
trainings agents and uses it to demonstrate in
front of rural MFI clients how an ATM machine
