Zoona was founded in Zambia in 2009 by two brothers, Brad and Brett Magrath. As a startup, they were at a disadvantage, having to recruit their own agents. Zoona did so by seeing them as its core customers, giving them credit and training to set up their own franchises. Some are impressively successful. In central Lusaka, Misozi Mkandawire presides over an empire of kiosks. She started with Zoona while at college. Her profits can now reach 50,000 kwacha ($5,200) a month. That is exceptional. Last year the average agent made $548 in monthly commission, before costs. Globally, nearly half of mobile-money agents have not processed a transaction for a month; 97% of Zoona agents do so every day.
Zoona是由布拉德和布雷特麦格拉斯(Brad and Brett Magrath)这两个兄弟于2009年在赞比亚成立。作为一个新兴公司,他们曾处于不利地位,不得不招募他们自己的代理人。Zoona这样做是通过把这些代理看作其核心客户,并给予他们信用和建立自己经营权的培训。一些还尤为成功。在卢萨卡中心,Misozi Mkandawire 管理一家大型售货亭。她在大学时就和Zoona开始做了。她的收益现在可达每月5万克瓦查(5200美元)。这是一个特例。去年平均每个代理在去除成本之前,每月的佣金只有548美元。(期待您的翻译,明天会有针对这句话的长难句解析哟~)
