Better to fall from a a storey building and be alive, than to fall from a 25 storey biulding and die.

LWKMD! I'm sorry. I just couldn't keep it.

mobuch:

I think you people should change the name "fun club" to something more corporate and serious, that name doesnt depict seriousness at all. Are u people coming to catch fun in a club

@2fishes
I hope one day you will take a crazy risk, that will turn your life around positively in jesus name! Amen.
I will always tell you this, life itself is risky, when you walk out each day. You haven't calculated an electric wire cutting off and electrocuting you (it happens) but it hasn't happened to u (and never will).
Calculated risk is just a grammar, everything is risky! Cos life is uncertain
Why don't u feel we could gather the money and alibaba itself dupes everybody that day and packs up (its possible), or cvm dupes us (possible) or the plane bringing the goods crashes and cvm takes a year to refund, or I plot an armed robbery attack for the pick up team the day goods arrives(possible)

2fishes have you calculated these risks?

Take a step if you want to or don't take it!
Fear has ended many business

About falling from a 25 storey building and die, yes I rather die a glorious death knowing I tried attaining a height of 25 storey and knowing a way not to fall again from a 25 storey than fall from a kiosk and get injured and say I'm not doing this again! Chia na so I for die now o

Truth is what fall from a 25 storey are u guys even saying? Is it the loss of 50k? Or being a marketer who didn't put a dime?
If you are afraid of losing 50k in business, I'm sorry u will NEVER get anywhere!



Summary: RISKS made me, risk is life

surveycash: From my little knowledge on politics, I think there are 6 geopolitical zones in the country thus;

SOUTH EAST- 5 States=(Abia, Anambra, Eboyi, Enugu, Imo).

SOUTH SOUTH- 6 States=(Akwa-ibom, bayelsa, cross river, delta, edo, rivers).

SOUTH WEST- 6 States=(Ekiti, lagos, ogun, ondo, osun, oyo).

NORTH EAST- 6 States=(Adamawa, bauchi, borno, gombe, taraba, yobe).

NORTH WEST- 7 States=(Jigawa, kaduna, kano, katsina, kebbi, sokoto, zamfara).

NORTH CENTRAL- 6 States=(Benue, kogi, kwara, nassarawa, FCT, niger, plateau).

These zones will have their HQ in one of the states (Am sugggesting the bolded as HQ). The supporting states will will be responsible for market research for their states. Understanding customers’ and potential customers’ needs through market research is one of the best ways to obtain a sustainable competitive advantage. In fact, it is the lifeblood of any business that will stand the test of time.

I am not into marketing. Anyone with practical experience on it should tell us how it's done. How do you know what people want to buy? How do you measure the size of the market? How do you know their demand is effective and not just mere wish?

When these needs are collated, the company raise funds to procure them and distribute to states according to their needs. So, we won't just buy goods based on hunch/guesswork that it will sell. No! We'll find a starving market and fill the needs. Christmas is around the corner. What are the products that will sell in the yuletide season?

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you that no zone/state or partner is superior to the other. We are all partners in progress. If we can put aside pessimism, self-interest and work with open mind, we'll be on the way to take the country with a big bang. Imagine having company xyz in the 6 geopolitical zones of this country by December? Remember, the vision of the company is to save money for our customers by offering products @ cheaper prices. These prices will be the same nationwide.

Once our incorporation is ready, we'll invite brand consultants to brainstorm on the perception we want to create on the minds of our customers - The color, the logo and the slogan. I have a logo in my head and am sure you all have too, that's why we need the judgement of an expert to come out with a winning one.

FCE recommended a shop for a start. This is good because Neither CAC nor bank will give certificate/account to a company without an address. But in the future (nearest one for that matter), company xyz will be know to be a 3/4 bedroom flat well furnished with a particular colour and logo in all the zones where it is located. It will have its warehouse also were the goods are kept and the office can serve as a service point, collection point, customer care support and administration.

So far so good, I have seen we have strategists, analysts, accountants, investors but am yet to see markers in the house. So, I ask this question, how do we sell 10,000 pcs powerbank (for example) in 2 weeks? Let the marketers start postulating!

info.fta:
Good ideas so far. I think the JV should have a written constitution apart from registration and opening of bank account. How will the JV handle Conflicting ideas, Decision making, Regional interest (what may be of high demand in Lagos may not be in Benin). Should decision be made by two third majority or unanimous vote. Also giving products to individual and marketers without having an office or shop is risky.

kabsun: @ib4ola, I think we need to have agenda for our sunday's meeting sent to us either via this forum or txt message since you have our numbers. Wats ur take on that

Thanks

2fishes:

2fishes is game with whatever has to do with Power Banks, every one in Nigeria needs at least one piece of this stuff for all I care. Not until something is done to salvage the Power problem in core places of we kontry. For now, price seem to be a challenge, so we need something massive to really beat down the cost of high capacity quality power banks to enable even the ice water seller on the street have one in his/her pocket!!!!!! Power Bank is serious business, just like shi.t business!!

Now that we caught your interest, So, I ask this question, how do we sell 10,000 pcs powerbank (for example) in 2 weeks? Let the marketers start postulating!

neroflo57: 10 marketers could be allocated 10 powerbanks each,or 20 marketers cld be allocated 5 powerbanks each...wit a 2 weeks deadline
