State of Telecom Industry in Pakistan

Students are desirable customers for telcos (and most businesses). It is generally believed that youth spend more on mobile voice and data. Zong has created Student Entrepreneur Program for driving incentive driven word-of-mouth sales through students who are called ‘Zong ambassadors’. Here’s how the program is described by Zong.

ZONG has established a concrete earning opportunity for students. Selected ambassadors will be trained and briefed by Zong representatives at Customer Service Centers. These ambassadors will create awareness among the students by not only offering them to migrate to Zong’s network but also by offering different products like New Activation or recharging a currently owned Zong connection. These Ambassadors will become a part of the Zong Family with only a small deposit of Rs. 1000. In return of which they will get one free gold number, a telesales Sim through which they will perform Zong Sales, 5 Zong Sims and a Mini load worth Rs. 600 (The stated items are worth Rs.1500). In addition, this ambassadorship will add great value to their Resume as this would give them hands on sales experience.

Most educational institutes in Pakistan would be a part of this program through the appointment of ZONG’s Ambassadors, specifically in cities where Customer Service Centers are operational.
