Brands
TECNO AND INFINIX COULD JUST BE TIMED MACHINES.
4 years ago, we bought an office phone for our bulk SMS. Did I tell you that since we observed that internet SMS loses over 30-50% of messages (that is between 30-50% of recipients never got our SMS blasts sent via internet SMS), we switched over to sending SMS via regular phone line to our over 1,000 customer lines, whenever we needed to?
SHEKAU DIED THIS WEEK: MY BUSINESS OPINION ABOUT IT.
Whether we like it or not, we must give it to Shekau, the now ‘probably finally’ dead leader of Boko Haram. If we were counting, perhaps Shekau has died like 10 times already, between 2015 and now, since Oga Buhari took over. There have been several claims ‘BH is technical dead!’, ‘BH is decimated!’, ‘Shekau has been killed!’, etc.
FACEBOOK COULD BE GONE IN TEN (10) YEARS.
I find this gist very enticing and exciting. I am sorry o; despite that I find Facebook’s model (Advertising Model) very ingenious, I am not particularly a fan of Mark Zuckerberg. If you’ve followed my posting about him of late, you’d know that I am averse to his ‘shark’ style. His is even more vicious than familiar sharks we know. So this news has a way of making me feel good.
UNCONVENTIONAL BUSINESS IDEAS
When Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook, if you had joined at the beginning in 2004-2007, it was super boring. I recall using so many hours to upload the list of my favorite books that I have read (Facebook helped you keep an e-library), family tree, favorite music and favorite movies, etc
TRAIN YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER.
The cost of hiring and replacing persons who do your work from outside is so enormous and inconvenient. Have you ever considered this at all?
Your service providers include:
- Consultants
- Artisans
- Printers
BLUES FROM MY BARBER’S SHOP.
My hair grows weekly so I visit the barber shop weekly. Because of my characteristic laziness though, it sometimes takes a fortnight and by then, my head already itches and makes me feel uncomfortable. So I must do the visit latest 10 days apart.
“Coach Sam, You Became Very Scarce”
Some years ago, when we hosted one of SOBCA’s free tasters on Mental Health and Emotional Intelligence at Be Better Centre, Gudu (Abuja), right after the session, I had the privilege of chatting with the Founder of Be Better Centre, Mr. Omagbitse Barrow, and another friend (and former client), (I will omit her name for a purpose).
THE FUNNEL OF PATRIARCHY.
Last week, an architect came to me with a need. She said she is not permitted to market her profession (based on ethics of architecture) but she wishes she can merge her work with human capital development. So she needed a strategy because she was experiencing sickness and depression from just being on her job.
OVER MARKETING
I walked into a barbershop somewhere in Wuse 2 to have a haircut. And it’s also a Spa. While he was doing his thing, he noticed dandruff on a side of my head and asked if I wanted to wash. I said it was fine. After a few minutes, he asked if the fat on my nose should be scrubbed and cleaned. I didn’t answer.
