What are some of the limitations of externally sourced climate financing in #sub-SaharanAfrica? And how can local stakeholders mitigate them?

There’s no such thing as too many customers. Use these 3 service models to expand your clientele As CEO at Payhippo, Dami Olawoye, pointed out, Payhippo uses a unique service model in which potential customers can approach them for solar financing even without already having an installer and/or quote. Even better, using the same service model, Payhippo locates nearby installers for potential customers. Thus, their services can be said to go beyond just solar financing seeing as they also contain an element of installer-customer matchmaking. To succeed in niche markets like renewable energy financing, you’ll need niche models with multiple layers of value such as the one outlined above and, interestingly, Payhippo has three. We discuss all three on the latest episode of our podcast. 🎧 Tune in now to find out how you can also acquire and retain more customers, as well as maximise incomes, by drawing on the other two service models Payhippo uses as inspiration https://lnkd.in/dF6Gi7yb
