Thanks a million, ma'am.

Are you in PH? You could win #1,000 call card and free pizza delivery by simply sharing your trekking experience on our page.

On a lighter note, are you the one I spoke with this evening?

The past few days have been interesting and hectic. There are other projects I needed to finish for some clients. Everything went well.

I am using today to prepare content for my website and some images/posts for my Facebook page. I will also be designing a banner to share around.

I will post all of it once I am done. In the meantime, I still look forward to your calls and texts.

Remain blessed.

Always be prepared and dress for the occasion, because you never know who is watching. These are the words that have been ringing in my head of late. Naturally, I am a jean and polo person because of my engineering background but of late, I am trying to change how I look at every point in time.

Today was hectic, however, I was able to finish filling with CAC. I am expecting a certificate for my business name in 7days.

Interestingly, I handled my first delivery today. It was exciting but also a pointer to some things I need to put in place.

1. I need a receipt booklet.
2. Letter headed papers
3. I need to be conversant with locations. In times past, I could drive to a place without knowing the name. What this means for my business is that even if I know a place, I may not be able to figure it out in split seconds. Solution... Google maps has to always be close by. Yes, I drive with GPS sometimes.

I am also considering employing an extra hand/ purchase a dispatch bike in 3-4 weeks time.

Website mockup was suppose to be uploaded today but the designer had some technical issues. Let's see how tomorrow goes.

All in all, God be praised. And thanks to everyone that has called to make enquiries.

I haven't given it much thought. I checked the prices for some Yamaha/Honda products. They were all in the 200k - 250k range. What's the price for the Bajaj?

Thanks a lot, chief.

There is always a reason to turn back, reasons to quit and give up. But those who have changed the world today looked through the eye of the storm and sailed. There's absolutely no victory without a battle.

I set out today - I prefer making business calls in the morning (7-8am) to test the seriousness of a supposed business person. I called restaurants for their price lists for our food delivery service. Only 1 bought into the idea (although I called about 15 restaurants). We have scheduled a meeting for tomorrow morning.

Some on the list didn't pickup and are yet to call back, for some their lines were switched off, others had different people answering and saying it was a wrong number, two restaurants turned down the offer.

What's the lesson learnt? Always document things. Have a list of every interaction you make, every site you contribute on, every directory you advertise on. This way, when changes are made, you can easily sweep through and make modifications.

For my business, it would be a good thing to write everything I do and every contact I make down, or at least keep a documentary. I started off by ticking out businesses I called that weren't as responsive as I expected.

I will spread my dragnet, as I have contacted the likes of Kilimanjaro, Mr Biggs, The Promise, and Tantalizers. Only one was responsive. I will begin to contact more indigenous and local restaurants tomorrow.

I think my web designer is experiencing some issues. The expected mock delivery time has spilled over by 3 days but I haven't called.

All in all, the future is bright.

Today started rather early for me; started by searching for fuel, then scheduling a meeting with a restaurant at 9am. The outcome was positive. Another restaurant/pizza shop both into the idea. I have some price lists.

My web designer is still testing the frame work and that's a major set back. I should be getting a printer and some letter headed papers in 2 weeks time.

At the same time, I will be printing my business card and 1000 copies of flyers in 2 weeks.

I didn't have time to call any restaurants today as I left the house very early and came in at about 3pm. Hopefully, I get that done tomorrow morning.

Good night.

I haven't updated this thread on my recent progress, I apologize for this. However, I have been traveling a lot of late. I decided to skip this from the beginning - I am a serving Corp member. However, from the onset I was always on the move, shuffling PPA and freelance jobs every week. I recently had to travel to go and teach for a while.

That's by the way. With regards to Waka4u, the certificate with CAC is ready but I am yet to pick it up (that will be done next week when I am back to base). The website is still under development - www.waka4u.com. So far, I am not really impressed with the designer's job.

I have also made some inquiries as regards to getting a bike. I will get one very soon.

In all, I give thanks.

keep it moving bro...... I like the initiative.
The site is nice and also mobile friendly. Tell your designer to work on the footer of the site @ least to make it look professional and also the "about us" page which looks like a blog post. Kudos

Yes, things have been going well. Don't mind me, NYSC stress is making me travel any how.

I will update the thread tonight.

Re: My Pickup And Delivery Startup In Rivers State - Affordable And Fast by lcoral(f): 7:55am On Feb 05, 2016
@ op. in my opinion as a friend, d Page pics looks more like dat of a Gaming advert, military or militant page and not a food delivery service.
Maybe u should also sample others opinion too so u can achieve d best outcome u want from your page and help boost your business.

I just bumped into this. And am praying and hoping you succeed. As for the website issue, I'll go with Icoral's assessment. More work needs to be done on the website.
