@KABARKA, I'm sorry i ddnt include my email addy in my last post. Its biolinkus@yahoo.com. God bless you real good.

Kabarka, how far now? you don de do season? where is everyone? who is just starting off? did anyone succeed in registering his or her water recently?

yes, we don dey do season.
Some ppl are succeed in registration.persons like cejo.
We are yet to hear from him.

how does one place one's driver on commissionable basis ? these drivers never get to go more than 2 trips per truck, that I think is too low

First,how many bags does your truck carry.

Now about commission,let me point something out.

THE ESSENCE OF COMMISSION IS TO KEEP WORKERS HIGHLY MOTIVATED IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES WITH NO OR LESS SUPERVISION.

Below are various options:
1, A company pays a driver #14,000 as basic salary(depending on how long he has stayed with you) and the driver does account at #60 per bag.

2,A company pays salary and driver makes account base on #70 per bag.meanwhile he sells #80 some places.

3, A company pays #3.0 per bag and motor boy #14,000.the motor boy takes #200 for lunch.
The max they have ever sold per day is 700bags. i think this is on the high side.
The same company pays another driver salary #25,000 with #200 lunch
This company is less than 2yr.

4, A COMPANY pays #1.50 per bag to the driver and #12,000 to motor boys.capacity of the truck 550.Minimum no of trips in the rainy season is 2 for smart drivers.
HOT SEASON 4-5 TIMES.
The company has 11 trucks,they are doing well and controls a **** market in port-harcourt.
The company is about 12yr old.

Could you please send me the price list of the items/material required to start of this business. My boss already have a buiding with bore hole, want to venture into a new business with N1M.
I will appreciate a detailed proposal, please.

My e-mail is megiszo@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

Did I hear well about a driver doing two trips in a whole day? I know drivers that do five trips of long distances in a day and some of my people do that. It is because of the fixed pay you are giving them.

In my area in Lagos, there is no fixed pay but for me, I pay N3000 BASIC PER MONTH TO DRIVERS and they earn the rest of their pay as commission. I pay N1 per bag sold. That is basically the Lagos method. The motor boys earn N1500 as basic and N1.50 per bag sold. That means I pay N1000 to both drivers and motor boys for a trip in a truck carrying 400 bags. If they want to earn N5000 a day it is up to them; they will have to go for five trips and they do some days.

@Madam L
Thankz 4 dat insight i was thinking otherwise on placing d drivers n motor boys on basic/monthly pay bt wit dis ur ideal i think it makes sense.Pls more of such insightful ideas r welcomed.

Kabarka:

Sundid where in lagos are u located?

waterways,
our factory is at abule egba

madam L:

That means I pay N1000 to both drivers and motor boys for a trip in a truck carrying 400 bags.

hello Madam L,
could you please shed more light on the above statement.
I do not understand how #3000 for driver and #1500 for motor boy translated to #1000.
Pls enlighten us.
Thanks.

the N300 and N1500 serve as fixed pay receivable at the end of the month. my trucks carry at least 400 bags per trip. for every bag sold during the trip, the motor boys earn N1.50. that means that if they finish selling all 400 bags, the motor boys will earn 400 multiplied by N1.50 which is N600. the driver earns N1 for every bag sold and so for the trip, he will earn N400. if you add N400 and N600 it will give you N1000 for the driver and motor boys per trip. clear now? five trip a day will get all of them N5000, not so?

I pay the basic to make them happier and compensate for down times.

very very very clear!!

One more thing,what about the extra bags?(10 to 1 or 20 to 2)
Do you also pay commission on them whereas they are not paid for.

No I do not pay for the extra bags. I only pay for de ones for sale

I am loving this trend, please can someone in the house hahelp me with a good and reliable pure water driver.May be mobile phone number can help.

Hi kabarka, Thanks so much for the good job you are doing.

I really want to start this pure water business very urgently. Could you please send me detailed steps, requirements(registration), equipments etc needed for startup.
unikdior@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Ucheobodo sir, we are at the same location, ikotun egbe. do be careful who you accept as a driver. do not act out of desperation. do an exhaustive interview and ask for where he worked before.

Kabarka and Madam L,

What more can I say. You have been wonderful and genuinely open-minded.
May God continue to increase you and you encourage and help other to climb.

@Kabarka, kindly send me all the necessary resources. No info is too much. I sent you an email earlier. my email begins with kg, @gmail.com.

Once again, God bless you both richly.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
