Top Challenges Faced by DSA Agents and How to Overcome Them
-
Lack of Awareness Among Customers
Challenge:
Many customers are unaware of how DSA agents work or how they benefit from applying through a registered agent. This leads to loss of trust during initial interactions.
Solution:
Build trust by educating your customers. With Ruloans’ strong brand presence, marketing tools, and training sessions, DSAs can confidently explain loan products and processes. This transparency helps prevent loss of trust and confidence, boosting conversions and credibility.
-
Intense Market Competition
Challenge:
With many DSAs competing for similar leads, standing out becomes difficult. This is a major part of DSA risks, as it can lead to business stagnation.
Solution:
Focus on niche segments like personal loans, home loans, or loans against property. With Ruloans’ tie-ups with 300+ banks, NBFCs, and financial companies, DSAs can offer more loan options than the competition. Use the Ruconnect App to streamline your sourcing and stay ahead.
-
Delayed Payouts and Commissions
Challenge:
DSAs often face delays in receiving commissions, affecting motivation and cash flow.
Solution to it:
Ruloans ensures on-time commission payouts based on the disbursed loan amount. With our transparent process and dedicated backend support, DSAs can track earnings and receive timely payouts.
-
Changing Bank Policies and Product Knowledge
Challenge:
Keeping up with frequent changes in interest rates, eligibility criteria, and especially KYC norms in banking can be overwhelming.
Solution:
Ruloans provides regular product updates and training. The Ruconnect App delivers real-time updates on KYC norms in banking, product eligibility, and offers—empowering DSAs to offer correct and up-to-date advice to customers.
-
Lead Conversion and Follow-Up Issues
Challenge:
Generating leads is only half the job. Without timely follow-ups, there's a risk of loss of trust and confidence among potential borrowers.
Solution:
Leverage the Ruconnect App to manage, track, and convert leads efficiently. Ruloans provides a structured CRM system to help DSAs maintain effective communication and improve conversion rates, avoiding DSA risks tied to poor customer engagement.
-
Lack of Digital Tools and Support
Challenge:
Manual processes not only slow down operations but can also lead to errors, customer dissatisfaction, and loss of trust.
Solution:
Ruloans equips DSAs with advanced digital tools including instant eligibility checks, digital document uploads, and real-time status updates via the Ruconnect App. This digitization minimizes DSA risks and enhances customer experience.
-
Limited Access to Quality Loan Products
Challenge:
DSAs associated with only a few lenders may lose out on deals due to product limitations, causing potential loss of trust and confidence from clients.
Solution:
With Ruloans’ partnerships with over 300 banks, PSU banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions, DSAs gain access to a wide range of financial products—loans, mutual funds, credit cards, and insurance—giving them the edge to serve varied customer needs.
