James Mwangi doesn't want to pay agents well so most of them are shunning equitel and prefer safaricom which takes good care of its agents.
That is why the other providers including equitel have been unable to play catch up with safaricom
Let us have figures @Ericsson.
Someone I know who happens to be a Co-op agent told me they huge cash transactions because they are paid PER TRANSACTION. Instead of accepting you 40,000/= deposit, they would rather serve 20 plus clients dealing in amounts approx. 2k.
Remember float is an issue. They only accept huge amounts if it works to their advantage. Like if most customers have been withdrawing and you come with a deposit and vice versa. But if things are relatively balanced or you want the "dominant" transaction, they simply tell you there is no float!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
