Customer acquisition

MobiKwik is a mobile wallet and earns money through commission from bill payment (electricity,water, etc.) and mobile/DTH recharges.

Today, a customer can top-up the wallet using a credit card, pay using the wallet that was topped up to get both discounts from the wallet provider and credit card points from the bank. Though this is a two-step process, it is fine today as it gives a fair return for the budget conscious customer.

Like lead management, customer acquisition management creates an orderly architecture for managing large volumes of customer inquiries, or leads. The architecture must be able to organize numerous leads, at various stages of a sales process, across a distributed sales force. In order to understand this process, it is helpful to examine a simplified linear lead flow process, such as the following: Advertising and CRM Customer inquiry or response Inquiry captured Inquiry filtered Lead graded and prioritized Lead distribution Sales contact Lead nurturing or retention

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_force_management_system

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_process

Sales result Analysis of promotion's effectivenessThe lead flow process can become enormously complex as customers and sales professionals begin to interact. These various interactions and subsequent actions can create a variety of scenarios, both productive and counterproductive. For example, if potential customers do not have their needs fully developed by a competent sales professional, or a sales professional is overly forceful, this can lead to lost sales and counterproductive results. Another common counterproductive scenario is when a potential customer is asked the same question by multiple company representatives.This exponential number of scenarios can provide for numerous opportunities to mishandle leads in such a way as to reduce their value. Managing these scenarios is the function of lead management.By creating methods and processes to track key acquisition metrics, organizations can get a more accurate picture of what traffic and new customers result from each channel.

CRM of Mobikwik

Mobikwik maintains customer relationship in various ways. They have social media presence( Facebook Page, twitter, LinkedIn, google+), toll-free customer care number for compalints and supports, email helpline etc. to deal with the customers.

Mobikwik provides 14 hours customer service daily.

Mobikwik has got so many negative criticisms from customers. They are sometimes delayed to respond to the customer complaints.


Guidelines for foreign Investors

Executive Summary

As a developing country, Bangladesh needs FDI for its ongoing development process. Since independence, Bangladesh is trying to be a suitable location for FDI. Special zones have been set up and lucrative incentive packages have been provided to attract FDI. However, the total inflow of FDI has been increasing over the years. In 1972, annual FDI inflow was 0.090 million USD, and after 33 years, in 2005 annual FDI came to 845.30 million USD and to 989 million USD in 2006.

The magnitude of FDI played a minor role in the economy of Bangladesh until 1980, a crucial year of policy change. The Government of Bangladesh (GOB) enacted the ‘Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Act, 1980’ in an attempt to attract FDI. Except five industries, which are reserved for the public sector: defense equipment and machinery, nuclear energy, forestry in the reserved forest area, security printing and minting, and railways, FDI is allowed in every sector of the economy. Table 1 shows total FDI inflow (including that in Export Processing Zones, EPZs) over the last 11 years, 1995-2005. Data reveals that in 1999 there was a sudden fall in FDI, and again in 2001, mainly because of serious political unrest, which discouraged foreign investment, and it took several years to regain the confidence of foreign investors. It stabilized afterwards but remained below the average reached during 1997-2000. In spite of Bangladesh’s comparative advantage in labour-intensive manufacturing, adoption of investment friendly policies and regulations, establishment of EPZs in different suitable locations and other privileges, FDI flows have failed to accelerate. However, in 2005 substantial improvement has been achieved.


SCOPE OF BUSINESS

Bangladesh is steadily forwarding toward digitalization which paves the way toward sound financial growth on e-marketing. Future trends Bangladesh’s retail market is estimated at $1 billion in 2011 and is expected to grow to $2.5billion by 2016 and $8 billion by 2020 – estimated growth rate is 18%.

The pragmatic guideline contributed in such a way that the customer-base went from zero to 30 million within a little more than four years .Everyday, the MFS industry is processing around 3.5 million financial transaction.

The penetration grew faster than any other MFS industry in the globe. Overall analysis says, Bangladesh has established a successful MFS industry with in a short time.

Online platform is becoming more and more popular from the last few years, the people of Bangladesh are looking for such platform which will not only be authentic but also time and energy saving for them.

Ease of transaction, widening markets, and decreased overheads are factors that make e-commerce solutions more and more attractive, as evident with the growth of online sales.

PROSPECTS OF MOBILE FINANCIAL SERVICES IN BANGLADESH

In last five years perhaps this sector has seen the most significant growth. There was a concern whether general people would find it appealing to buy online but the growth rate of ecommerce sites has diminished that concern. Toady ecommerce sites are mushrooming to cater different aspects of individual needs.On the other hand, M-commerce or Mobile Commerce refers to wireless electronic commerce used for conducting commerce or business through a handy device like cellular phone or Personal Digital Assistant(PDAs). In other words it is the ability to conduct commerce using a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, a Personal digital assistant (PDA), a Smartphone, or other emerging mobile equipment such as dashpot mobile devices It is the next generation wireless e-commerce that needs no wire and plug-in devices. Mobile commerce is usually called as 'm-Commerce' in which user can do any sort of transaction including buying and selling of the goods, asking any services, transferring the ownership or rights, transacting and transferring the money by accessing wireless internet service on the mobile handset itself.


A recent report published by the USAID said, mobile money transfer is on the rise in

the country. Since its launch in 2011, mobile banking sector has been experiencing

exponential growth. According to the report, the growth has reached a new height in

February making the number at $1.42 billion which is BDT 11,104 crore.

Bangladesh is among the biggest mobile banking market in the world and accounted

for almost 8% of total registered global mobile banking users. Since a large number

of population don’t have access to conventional banking, mobile banking has become

an instant hit in the country especially to BOP population.

The industry has seen its biggest growth between January 2013 and February 2015.

During this period of time the number of registered clients increased more than five-

fold from 5 million to over 25 million. The number of transactions has also grown

significantly during this period of time, from 10 million in January 2013 to just under

77 million in February 2015, making the daily transaction amount via mobile

staggering $47.44 million on an average.

The report used desk research and face-to-face interviews with key mobile financial

services providers, telecom operators, technology platform providers, regulators, and

USAID health and agriculture project staff and 904 beneficiaries to come up with a

unified understanding.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN BANGLADESH

The use of information and communication technology has been playing a vital role in the 21st century due to globalization. The democratic government has declared the “Vision 2021” in the election manifesto which targets establishment of a resourceful and modern country by 2021 through effective use of information and communication technology, a "Digital Bangladesh". “Digital Bangladesh” does not only mean the broad use of computers, perhaps it means the modern philosophy of effective and useful use of technology in terms of implementing the promises in education, health, job placement,


poverty reduction etc. Therefore, the government underscores a changing attitude, positive thinking and innovative ideas for the success of “Digital Bangladesh”.

Digital Bangladesh

• Promotes the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in all walks of life to provide the goods and services needed for human subsistence and growth.

• Comprises the philosophy of people’s democracy, basic rights, transparency, accountability, equity, justice and an optimal public delivery system of services, including public goods.

• Includes all classes of the citizens on the principles of non discrimination and non exclusion.

• Ensures equal access to technology and knowledge based services.

Regulation of Mobile Financial ServicesFollowing several years of deliberations and ad hoc permissions on MFS, the Department ofCurrency Management and Payment Systems of Bangladesh Bank issued “Guidelines on Mobile Financial Services (MFS) for the Banks” on 22 September 2011 which were subsequently amended

On 20 December 2011. A current version can be found at the Bangladesh Bank websitehttp://www.bangladesh‐bank.org under the Regulations and Guidelines section.These guidelines state that only a bank‐led model will be permitted. For Bangladesh Bank this means that a customer’s account, termed "Mobile Account", will rest with the bank and will be accessible through the customer’s mobile device. This mobile account will be a non‐chequing account classified separately from a standard banking account.

The guidelines permit the following services, subject to specific bank proposals to and clearances by Bangladesh Bank:1. Disbursement of inward foreign remittances2. Cash in/out using mobile account through agents/Bank branches/ATMs/MNO’s outlets3. Person to Business Payments (utility bill payments or merchant payments)4. Business to Person Payments (salary disbursement, dividend and refund warrant payments, vendor payments)5. Government to Person Payments (elderly allowances, freedom‐fighter allowances,subsidies)6. Person to Government Payments (taxes, levy payments)7. Person to Person Payments P2P (One registered mobile account to another registeredmobile account)8. Other Payments (microfinance, overdraft facility, insurance premiums, deposit pensionscheme deposits)


9. Bangladesh Bank has established limits on P2P transactions of taka 10,000 per day and 25,000 permonth. These amounts are subject to change from time to time at the discretion of BangladeshBank.Following the initial guidelines, Bangladesh Bank also issued an update to the guidelines with somemodifications on 20 December 2011. These modifications clarified that the bank bearsresponsibility for know‐your‐customer (KYC) practices. It restricts P2P payments between holdersof registered mobile accounts thereby restricting the use of services in which the recipient cashesout a payment without opening a mobile account.Seventeen banks have been granted permission to introduce MFS by Bangladesh Bank. Ten bankshave launched MFS and of these five are licensed to offer a range of service beyond inward foreign

Investment progression in Bangladesh

The stock market capitalization of the Dhaka Stock Exchange in Bangladesh crossed $10 billion in November 2007 and the $30 billion mark in 2009, and USD 50 billion in August 2010.

S.W.O.T. analysis of Mobikwik

Strength

shopping, and money transfer to friends and family, through the MobiKwik wallet.

MobiKwik is now enabled across more than 20,000 merchants including Café Coffee

JustEat.

Wide merchant coverage.

Strong distribution and sales networks.

Strong domestic market.

Cisco, Amex & Treeline invested $25 million in Mobikwik

Weakness

Lack of local agent is a big weakness of Mobikwink.

The company do not provide any kind of security to the field agent so the local

business person do not feel secured to take the agency ship of mobikwink.

Opportunity

The target market of Mobikwink is those people who are generally ignored by the

big financial service providers and their offerings. AsBangladesh is a country of large

population of these segmentation, Modikwink has a good opportunity of capturing a

huge market share.try


Online shopping is gaining popularity in Bangladesh so if the company can offer the

transection system for online shopping, which could the way of earing big profits.

In recent survey it has been found that about 29% of the users of MFS industries of

our country do not have the reliability on the industry

Initial high cost for access

Lack of security transection

Threat

In last six months, the companies faced several terrorist related issues in many areas

of Bangladesh which occurs due to the poor security facility of the country. If these

incident continues, than the consumers and local agents will lose the interest of

having this service which will be a huge threat.

There are some other Banks of Bangladesh who are recently offering the similar

service to the market with new offers and facilities, If the company can’t take the

necessary steps to defense the competition than they will have a threat of losing

market share.

Summary of questioner

Social group survey

Upper Class Middle Class Lower Class Students5 15 8 12


We interviewed total 40 person and the majority of them were middle class and students. As we were trying to understand the market sustainability of Mobikwik so as an alternative option of Bkash at first, we introduced Mobikwik to them then we have given them the questionnaire and surprisingly we have found that about 40% of the result gone in favor of Mobikwik. Most of the research person showed their interest to complete their daily activities like online shoping,utility bill payment through online, buying air and bus ticket, reserving hotels, online mobile recharge,etc but in Bangladesh no MFS companies that do all activities under the same roof. As Mobikwik provides all functions in India so interviewed person showed their interest to Mobikwik.

Recommendation

Mobile wallet and online payment system is one of finest innovation of modern times. Now we can make instant bill payments, recharges or shop at your favorite stores just with 1-tap! Not only this, you can avail great offers, get cashback on every transaction we do with Mobikwik. MCommerce market in India is in nascent stage, m-payment and m-banking segments have shown significant growth over the last few years. As smartphone sales continue their journey by 51% every three months, the mobile commerce (m-comm) market may grow by 55% from its present size of $2 billion to $19 billion by 2019. In Bangladesh mobile financial services (MFS) already exists. Bkash , Brac Bank mobile banking, M cash, Sure cash, Ucash , Ok cash, My cash, Hello cash, Trust bank mobile banking, IFIC mobile banking are doing business. Bangladesh Bank is monitoring all the activities of MFS industry. By far of our study we have seen that people of Bangladesh are using this platform with great endeavor. At present more than 5 millions of people are using these mobile financial services in our country. On a recent survey Bangladesh bank has found that MFS industry will be the most prolific industry in the nearest future. Though this industry has become the most profitable sector , most of the people do not use this platform as they do not feel safe. And also as the existing companies are charging more fees from the customer thus most of the registered customers are real happy with it. One more thing to open an account with them the customers have to face lots hassles like they have to communicate either with the local agents or by visiting the customer care which is really time consuming for the customers. As opening a account in mobikwik is

very easy thus it can be an strong alternative for them. Still our utility bill and also shopping payment can not be paid with the existing MFS in our country so it could open a huge business opportunity for Mobikwik to start business in Bangladesh. Cash back on every transaction and some other promotional offers as get interest on the wallet balance, offering discount by making the transaction with Mobikwik will add value for customers.
