Why You're Not Making Sales Part 2 by ennyspalace(f): 3:33pm On Apr 07, 2021 |
In 2018, I was given ₦100,000 by my dad to start a business of my choice He did this so my brother would stop bothering him about not helping us establish a business My dad said the 100k is a loan and we're to pay him back his money after 365 days I had Just finished learning *quack fashion design* and was eager to start my own business I didn't want to just sew for people, I also wanted to.sell stuffs so I decided to sell Adire(tie and dye) and Asooke Fabrics(Traditional wears for occasions) I bought my machine and went to Abeokuta to get various Adire fabrics I also got Asooke from a weaver at Ilorin In all honesty, I don't like sewing, I still don't but I thought I had what it takes to market/sell my fabrics I was still in school then I'm still in school though� Another school� So, I would carry the heavy sack and move around from hostel to hostel, places to places To show people my Fabrics �� Omo people can frustrate you oo��♀️��♀️ I didn't sell o even the ones that bought was on credit and the way people price stuffs ehn, you will feel like crying In short, I couldn't make Sales and couldn't refund the money These fabrics stayed in my room for more than a year o Later I just did Giveaway ni cos I was really tired of the whole thing��� By then I was already back home And anytime I offended my parents, the issue of the unrefundable capital will come up Even my sewing machine was not in use One particular hot day, my dad said something that really hurt me I cried my eyes out I kept wondering how people make it in this business line�� *Value is what converts to Money* When I had money, I lacked Knowledge (value) But when I was broke, Value paved way Whatever, you do, always gain Value‼️ *Why are you not Making Sales* *YOU DON'T LIKE TO SELL* The way we were brought, we've been made to believe that Selling is for the poor That It's either you go to school or end up selling on the streets We were made to believe that you can't choose both, you can only have one�� It's so sad that many have grown to believe this subconsciously and have influenced the way we live A child's developmental stage is between 0-7years Anything this child learns at this age spans stays with him for life So, hearing about Bro Tunde who is a mechanic because he didn't go to school has staged a false believe in our subconscious that we can't make it unless we go to school Now, I'm not saying going to school is wrong o�� But that mindset has to change if you want massive sales in your business *Stop thinking of selling as a compensation plan for being broke because it is Not* Whether you sell or not, you're being sold too You buy data You pay NEPA You take transport You pay school fee and the likes You think that's o.k but you still think it's not O.k to for you to sell��� Sir Ma Change your Mindset Is someone following *2. You're inconsistent* Yea, you're not making sales because you're inconsistent How can you post you advertise your goods/services only once A week��� or 2weeks in a month? How na�� Today you post on Social media. Tomorrow you don't��♀️��♀️��♀️ And you want to sell Sell like A prostitute Sell like A suya man Be Brutal about Advertising Be without shame Advertise ruthlessly Nobody is paying your bills, why should you care?��♀️ A suya man shows up EVERY DAY If you get to your favorite suya spot and you can't find him, you go vex� Social media sites that converts YouTube Always show up every day *3. You have the wrong Audience* How will you make sales when you keep advertising Lamborghini to Primary school students You need to study your Audience And know what they want If you're uncomfortable with your Audience, change them You can do this through networking It's either you change your products/services to fit your Audience needs/pains/ desires or you change your Audience to fit the products/services you're offering This is specific to WhatsApp However, Facebook is a world where you can traffic your specific audience���� You can never go wrong with Facebook You need to be conversant with Market research A typical example is this class that's holding I noticed that some biz owners on my contact list sells the wrong way I know this because I've been in their shoe before I know what they're doing wrong and I have the solution Hence, this class So, you need to enter your prospects/ clients mind to know what they want Are you with me? *Stop Advertising to the Wrong Audience* Stop eet‼️ Stop eet‼️ Stop eet Some sites to know what your audience wants Google.com Quora.com Facebook group Twitter conversations Askthepublic.com 4. *You're doing beggi beggi* ���� Why will you want to sell your products and be like *Pls Patronize me, I haven't eaten since Morning* It remains ₦50 with me Help a girl Help a bro It's very wrong❌❌❌❌ This is not how to sell❌❌❌ If after this class, you say something like that You'll see me in your dreams oo with Koboko� *Stop being Desperate* Nobody wants to buy from a desperate person Last one for tonight *5. You don't know your worth* See, because we are already exposed to the mindset that if we sell, people will see us as poor, We tend to shrink our worth A lot of online sellers are battling with self esteem Especially when they don't make sales You start saying, *If not for the situation I'm in, will I be selling sososo and so?* [06/04, 20:15] Enny's Palace: For God's sake, if you're not comfortable selling, then Stop it *You should only sell what you have become* *Don't ever sell what you've not become* This is where Brand comes in Sir, Ma Make yourself a Brand first Your business Brand is different from your personal brand Your Personal brand is what people perceives you as..... And frankly, people will only call you what you call yourself or what you depict yourself to be Don't take rubbish all in the name of Selling stuff thinking this will make people patronise you more It won't! Know your Value‼️ Brand Yourself‼️ When you brand yourself, people will respect you Also knowing your worth, you'll realise that there is only so much you can give People are naturally drawn to value givers No one wants to be friends with anyone not adding value Apply this things and your sales will increase Hope you got value?
