If you are a business man or woman or even boy or girl, especially if you ever do a hawking business or any kind of business not situated in a particular shop, you must learn to put up with some things because you are going to meet several categories of customers you may not like. From experience, I have discovered these categories.
1. Gentle/Business-like people:If you are a business man or woman or even boy or girl, especially if you ever do a hawking business or any kind of business not situated in a particular shop, you must learn to put up with some things because you are going to meet several categories of customers you may not like. From experience, I have discovered these categories.
1. Gentle/Business-like people:
They just know what they want and they go for it immediately without or little negotiation.
(You will always pray to meet their kind)
2. Questionnaires:
They expect you to know more than you should simply because you brought biz to them
For instance, if you sell honey like me, the questions will be
a. Is that thing honey?
(No, it is brown water)
b. Is it original honey?
(They expect you perhaps to tell them it is fake)
(c) Are you the one that harvested the honey?
(d) How do they even harvest this honey?
e. This one you are carrying, is it natural or agricultural? (No, it is technological
f. Which village did it come from?
g. How does it work? How do they use it? How many sicknesses does it cure (All, of course)
h . Boys will be like " E dey make ' man thing' strong?
(Hmmm, na that one I no fit answer ooo)
If it is medicine you are selling, they will need you to explain to them exactly when it would heal and whether it will come back again
(3) Quarrelsome People:
They may not be pricing your wares but once they pass and see someone doing so, they will stand to counter everything you say about your business and they wil quarrel with you to the point that you start thinking of whether they have and similar wares they want to displace you and sell.
(Pray very well in the morning before you leave and bind such spirits
(4) Sympathizers:
They will keep sympathazing with you each time they meet you and keep promising to buy next time as if it is a must. They may never ever buy
(They are not too bad shaa)
5. The looking committee:
They will keep looking at you without saying a word if you tell them to buy something. They look you to shame and most times, you will have to find a mirror like glass to check if anything went wrong with you.
(6) Preachers:
This happen mostly to hawkers. You enter someone's shop and he happily begins to preach the word to you as though he was the one that invited you.
(7) Jovial sanguines/Talkatives
Just like the preachers, they tend to forget that you are out for business once they see you. They start gisting immediately and never seeming to.be ready to stop
(To such, turn away)
With these on ground and so many other issues on board, every business man should be tactful and wise
