Learning challenges in retail with its own credit
The most common training challenges in Chilean retail chains that sell durable goods with their own credit, with the rule that makes them mandatory and how Clikma addresses them. "How Clikma addresses it" describes the platform, not what each client uses.
Store credit with clear information
Whoever offers the store's card or credit has to explain the cost and conditions properly, without making the purchase conditional on it. A mistake on the sales floor ends in complaints or fines.
Regulation (Chile): Law 20,555 (SERNAC Financiero), which also applies to retailers: summary sheet, equivalent annual cost (CAE) in advertising with installments or rates, and a ban on tied sales.
How Clikma addresses itShort courses with assessments for each sales and credit role, with a certificate with a set validity period. With Tu Mentor, people rehearse by voice how to explain the cost of credit, and reports show progress by store.
Anti-money laundering, every year and on record
Entities that issue or operate credit cards must train all their staff every year on preventing money laundering and terrorist financing, and keep a record of each training.
Regulation (Chile): Law 19,913, article 3: credit card issuers and operators are obligated entities before the UAF. UAF Circular No. 62 of 2025: annual training for all employees, recording the format, date and participation.
How Clikma addresses itAn annual course assigned to the whole workforce, with a deadline and a risk light. Each person's attendance, with its date and format, and assessment are recorded; the manual is delivered with a signed read receipt and the report is exported for the audit.
Debt collection that respects debtors' rights
Whoever collects store card debts has to do it within the law: at permitted hours, without exposing the debt to third parties and informing debtors of their rights.
Regulation (Chile): Law 19,496, article 37: bans calls and visits outside business days and hours and communications to third parties about the debt. SERNAC specifies that calls may only be made Monday to Saturday, from 8:00 to 20:00.
How Clikma addresses itA course with an assessment on collection rules and the company protocol, with a signed read receipt. In Tu Mentor, people practice a difficult collection call by voice, with feedback.
Advised sales of durable goods and the legal warranty
In technology and appliances, customers expect advice, products change every season and the legal warranty creates returns and exchanges that the team has to solve well from the first contact.
Regulation (Chile): Law 19,496, with the six-month legal warranty set by Law 21,398 (Pro Consumer): customers choose between exchange, repair or refund.
How Clikma addresses itShort content by product category, which can be created with AI from the supplier's product sheets. The assistant searches lesson content to answer questions in the store, and supplier content licenses are managed on the same platform.
Two cultures after the merger, high-turnover teams
Integrating two chains requires unifying procedures and culture while stores are reorganized, and salespeople are among the roles with the highest turnover in retail.
How Clikma addresses itStage-based onboarding that is the same for every store, internal communications that show who read each change, pulse surveys to see how the team is doing, and the Command Center to compare indicators by store and region.
Mandatory prevention course, with evidence
Every employer, regardless of industry or contract type, must provide an occupational risk prevention course of at least 8 hours and, from November 1, 2026, prove it with verifiable and traceable records.
Regulation (Chile): Law 16,744 and Decree (DS) 44 of 2023, article 16. Technical Guide of the Undersecretariat of Social Security (Exempt Resolution 1,117 of 2026).
How Clikma addresses itA single plan in person, by webinar or by e-learning. Each person's attendance, assessment, certificate, instructor, date and duration are recorded, and reports can be exported for an inspection.
What are the main training challenges in retail with its own credit in Chile?
Offering store credit with clear information; training card issuers and operators every year on anti-money laundering; collecting debts while respecting debtors' rights; advising on durable goods sales and handling the legal warranty well; integrating cultures and procedures with high-turnover teams; and proving the mandatory risk prevention course.
