Liz

Liz is 29. She lives with her husband and their five year old daughter who is just beginning her education.

For two years Liz has been selling beauty products. She has a small display case in her house where she keeps and displays her cosmetics. She also sells purses, shoes, and jewelry. Liz likes to learn different sales techniques in order to convince her customers to buy her products. Therefore, her business is profitable.

Also, her husband runs a river tour agency from their house. Liz takes advantage of the opportunity to sell her cosmetics to the people who come to her husband’s business. They are generally wood merchants. Many times they immediately buy the products she has in stock.

This is her fourth loan with MFP. What she likes about working with her communal bank is that all of the members are responsible with their payments, and they are friends with each other. She will use the money she is asking for to buy more beauty products, shoes, purses, and materials to make jewelry.

Liz tiene 29 años, vive con su esposo y su hija de 5 añitos que cursa estudios iniciales. Desde hace 2 años se dedica a la venta de productos de belleza, cuenta con una pequeña vitrina dentro de su casa donde exhibe y guarda sus cosméticos. Adicionalmente, vende carteras, zapatos y joyas. A Liz le gusta aprender las diversas técnicas de venta para convencer a sus clientes de que le compren sus productos, por ello su negocio le es rentable. Además, como su esposo tiene una agencia fluvial que funciona en su casa, Liz aprovecha en ofrecer sus cosméticos a las personas que vienen al negocio de su esposo, generalmente comerciantes de madera, quienes muchas veces le compran de inmediato los productos que tiene en stock.
Este es su 4to crédito con MFP y lo que le gusta de trabajar con su banco comunal es que todos los integrantes son responsables en sus pagos y amigos entre sí. Con el dinero que solicita comprará más productos de belleza, zapatos, carteras y materiales para elaborar bisutería.
