I can't dwell on you for far too long. If you are wise, look into my previous posts and adjust. I have seen ow lowly you can get from previous pages and it just irritates me. You seem to be spoiling for a fight for someone lowly in character as yourself.

About work being slow, lol. Our monthly revenue from ticket sales alone is way more than what your 6 elantras are bringing in a month, but will you hear anyone brag? "Show me someone who has cars more than I do" yet you have 6 cars and you were just told of someone with 16 cars. Lol.

Remain humble. That's the code.

Adjust bro! One love..

Deal with it ? Move on... jumping from one job to another from one deal to another.. Lol deal with it. Either way am still getting paid ,either way have got two more cars coming in, either way am still getting paid bro .. It's a win win for me bro. Name any single person that has more cars than me bro. Just name them .we are not about managers o or fleet coy. We talking ownership bro. Like Jayz said I own my own masters.... You think am worried . Anybody that has ever dealth with me on the forum knowns me as a straight shooter. I tell it the way it is. I never came out here to brag. When my car had sludge I posted it and show it to people. Was I hiding anything from anybody, I deal with facts ...either way I win bro, before the year runs out I will have up to 10 cars. You think anybody is doing me a favor . I stay winning

I, I, I, I, I thats all I see while reading this. just go and sit down my guy, you sound like a little child making boasts of his toys. You make sense at times and other times, you spew garbage like a refuse truck.

You don't need all this personal marketing. But that's not my problem with you, my problem with you is the fact that you pride yourself in being KING OF PETTYLAND

I dont need a meme to simply tell you to Grow up son!

Sorry I didn't post for a while, I have been busy..

The next issue was an office. We were selling tickets but people still wanted to walk in to your office at their convenience and discuss business with you. Wheeeew!!

We knew we had to resolve that issue immediately. No sooner than we planned, we got a ticket we wanted to issue and after deciding on the price and all, He insisted on coming to our office to pay. Well, since we didn't have an office, we had to liase with another top notch travel agency in Lagos for them to deal with him on our behalf, to say less, he was well attended to and he ended up trusting and buying from us again.

Our first official sale call came in August 5. It was 5:48am and this call came in. The caller was brief.

Caller: "Hello, is this Hokage Travels?

Me: morning sir, you are on to Hokage Travels, how may i...(caller cuts in)

Caller: I need 3 tickets to JFK slated to leave in the next 2 weeks. Get back to me in an hour please.

Me: Ok sir, but I'm leaving for the off...(caller drops the call)

I knew immediately the sort of person he was, but being the first customer since we got official, I wanted to give him a great offer hence making him a repeat customer.

In the next hour,

Caller: hello, so how much does it cost?

Me: sir, I'm trying to put together a great offer for you. So, I'm comparing fares and give you a very good price.

Caller: Ok

Me: Do you have a flexible travel plan?

Caller: well, A day or two is ok

Me: great, I will get back to you soonest sir

Caller: no problem, is this your WhatsApp number?

Me: yes sir

Caller: Great, I will send you the data pages of our passport.

Me: well, ok sir...

Caller: Great... Get back to me soonest(cuts the call)

I Got started immediately and after 2 hours I give my first customer a call.

Me: Hello sir, I have been able to find a great offer for you.

Caller: well, uhm that's great to hear but I already got my Tickets.

Me: I never experrerit. Oh well, I never expected that sir.

Caller: I needed to get that over with as soon as possible but you were taking time.

Me: But I was trying to get you a cheap fare.

Caller: I was never really bothered about the fare.

(My brain just reset, this guy didn't tell me this before. I would have comfortably quoted him a price without going through all the stress).

Me: Ok sir, thank you for considering Hokage Travels. We will be ready to be of service to you again in the nearest future.

Caller: thanks, really sorry for that.

Me: well... It's ok sir, have a nice day.

Note: I feel it's important to put down that on the day of his flight, I still called him to wish him a safe flight.

And that was the story of how our first customer didn't buy from us. Yet he was still our customer.

Nanta was another challenge, we got this report that we needed to be nanta compliant, the process cost just over 75k. Where to see this kind of money?.

It is however imperative to note down that before this whole procedures, we actually made 3 sales. Now nanta was here and we needed almost 80k. It was like we were never going to proceed. Lol, the lies we hear. It was like if you didn't have nanta registration, you would be located and clamped down on. It was messy.

Due to this objective, we began to aggressively search for clients, and within 2 weeks, I walked proudly into Nanta office at Fadeyi to complete the process of registration.

Now, I mentioned above that I decided to start a travel agency at school but for some reasons, the whole process began when I was serving(I served at ilesa, Osun State). I concluded the business plan, structure and began the process of registration with CAC. I thought if I should be taken seriously, I must be registered with all the required bodies, so I was shuttling between osogbo and ilesa for the business registration. The whole process took me 2 months, though I registered my business online at Corporate Affairs Commission

new.cac.gov.ng › ...

I still had to go to their office for other procedures. I had to go get a stamp, blah blah blah. The process cost me just up to 15k. On collecting the certificate, I had to go collect TIN number which will help in registering the corporate bank account. That gave me more problem than the actual business registration. After a month or so, I got the corporate bank account ready and business was ready.

The journey so far has been fun, challenging, discouraging, painful, exhilarating and exciting. Documenting it here has been a conscious effort by me to encourage and give many other would be entrepreneurs the necessary motivation and clear the air about most travel agents.

When I decided to start a travel agency, I was in my final year at school. I took some time to research, observe and understand the market. I understood that the most important thing in running a travel agency is trust. Trust is essential mainly because the occupation "travel agents" has been tagged a dubious business. I observed the problems most people have with travel agents are with visa processing. Knowing this, I made a decision not to engage in visas but sales of tickets only.

Morning guys

Chuchunana:
Etihad...gosh, I'm never gonna use them. Take off from Heathrow was delayed for over 2 hours and we missed our connecting flight to Lagos, we had to wait till next day with no arrangements made...bad, bad experience!

Etihad? Wow! This is a first. May be it was an affiliated flight, like Etihad in partnership with air Seychelles. But anyways, we can't overlook the poor quality of services rendered..

Amarabae:
Thank you for responding maturely.
A girl sticking with a guy in poverty does not guaranty her a wedding ring when the guy blow.
Ok?
My point is that a guy should be financial stable first before a serious relationship or marriage.

This is double standards, if this kind of thinking is allowed for guys then, ladies shouldn't be hurt when they are tagged as sexual objects.

Ladies complain about how men overlook their intellectual ability and focus on their sexual appeal, this has been the cries for ages and hence the screams of gender discrimination which is expected to yield gender equality, but here is a female also laying emphasis on the financial potential, capacity and ability of a man as a yardstick for relationship instead of his personality and all.

If this is it, then maybe I should enter the streets and start looking for girls to date, have sex with and dump just because they are attractive, have big boobs, ass and all.

It is this kind of thinking that will make ladies end up in marriages without love or worse still end up being used for ritual all because a guy that's NOT BROKE approached them and they decide to leave their BROKE guys for him only to end up as side chick, sex objects or rituals.

Please change this thinking. If you love a man, stay with him through thin and thick, that's love.

If you love the guy, you will help to build him to the level of comfort you want him to provide for you.

Good day guys

Pls I need help oo, tickets from Manchester to lagos in August, am getting £4,200 for a family of 6. Just too much

Hello Bebe

We all know buying a ticket few days/weeks to the travel date is expensive but few people also know that buying months away could also be expensive.

I will put you in a reminder. Best time to purchase your August ticket is mid June to late June.

Hope that helped.

@OP, am scheduled to leave Abuja for Virginia on March 26 to return April 9. I'd like to have some adventure considering it's my first international travel experience. Could you recommend how I can maximize this opportunity?

Few airlines travel from Abuja, if you are looking for travel experiences, you can choose to book flights that will make long stop overs enroute Virginia, USA. Although the problem with that is, being a first time Traveller, dealing with all the checking in, connecting flights might be confusing for you. But it will greatly help with the travel experience. Some long flights will require hotel reservations in some cities, note that Sone cities require transit Visa and some don't. Be sure to know if you will require one.

You can also Google beautiful places to be at Virginia, USA. Here is a link to a site https://www.thecrazytourist.com/17-most-beautiful-places-to-visit-in-virginia/.

Don't limit yourself to Virginia alone, go to Washington, New York( the big Apple), chicago, California and the rest.
