In the current book I am reading, which is the chronological journey of Facebook… I got an epiphany 💡 💡 💡 … WE ARE ALL SALES SIGNPOSTS. UNKNOWINGLY! WILLING! AVAILABLE!
Some of us work hard to set up businesses only to see them fail under our watches. When a business idea is conceived, I think the owner expects it to last for as long as it is yielding enough revenue. Revenue in itself is not a wish, it is the outcome of the structure put in place. This structure attracts or repels patronage. Many owners of businesses pay so much attention on aesthetics that they forget to get the right human resources for the provision of quality service.
I was in Lagos some months ago and I spared some time to visit some topnotch schools there. These are schools I have observed from a distance with admiration. I won’t mention the names of the schools but I will explain what transpired in some.

Your choice of employees can determine whether your business would be successful or if it would crash.

“SOBCA at 5” Anniversary events kick off tomorrow (Saturday) and we are more than glad. We are grateful too. The colloquium holds tomorrow. We had 135 registrations for this event alone. And we sent a private email invitation to them and mentioned the sponsors of the refreshments we are having
“SOBCA at 5” Anniversary events kick off tomorrow (Saturday) and we are more than glad. We are grateful too.
The colloquium holds tomorrow. We had 135 registrations for this event alone. And we sent a private email invitation to them and mentioned the sponsors of the refreshments we are having. The sponsors have branded their meals with their contact details so that AT LEAST 100 CONTACTS will become POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS of these vendors. If these vendors do their homework of following up and up-selling properly, that is a LIFETIME VALUE OF A CUSTOMER ACQUIRED AT THE COST OF SPONSORSHIP.
Let’s face it. This period in Nigeria is very challenging as an employer. The cost of virtually everything has skyrocketed. It is safe to generalize and say everything is costlier than they were even 6 months ago. EVERYTHING!!!
There is an organization that certifies consultants in Nigeria. I won’t mention their name since it is not an advert (if you know, you know 😜 ). But I like what they are doing. They have found a MARKET WANT and designed a VALUE PROPOSITION around that want. So they simply HARVEST PROSPECTS and TORRENT-EMAIL them to join their community. The fee is N150,000.00 (around $300). With this amount, and a workshop, you’re admitted into the credible society of consultants.
