So what?...our economy benefits immensely from the relationship and until we can do something about it...we are handicapped!.
If the owners arent nigerians, doesn't mean we re not making a living off them as well.

we are that's the whole point. People are just been sentimental. FG can't make any move that would lead to people losing their jobs even for dstv as well. South Africans are just been lazy it is their govt that should work inputting them in order or take FG should take other drastic measure rather than folks losing their jobs

fitzmayowa:
Mike ipoki is the current CEO of mtn nigeria, so mtn nigeria is under a nigerian...

It's been run by a Nigerian doesn't mean it is owned by Nigeria or a nigerian

If jagaban pulls this move off. He should be known as the Masterkraft of Nigeria politics.

Thanks @ egomah.

Small or Big business owners must have a company profile to present to a potential client when the opportunity arises and must be ready to write business proposal at any point in time. There are big clients who would not entertain working with certain business entity if they don't present well written proposals.

HOW TO WRITE A BUSINESS PROPOSAL


Writing a Business Proposal is like writing a story, you have to set the stage (once upon a time), state the challenge (snow white in dire need of a special kiss to wake up from a curse), explain the solution (prince charming saves the day) and describe the result (happily ever after). Proposals have always been an effective tool for persuasion. Business proposals are very similar to TV adverts, they are weapons of influence. They are very effective in influencing people’s decisions. That is why every business entity must be able to write winning proposals to persuade their client to get in bed with them (I mean by doing business together).

The craft behind any business proposal should not be focused on what the company can do and what it has been doing but should focus on what the client tends to gain when they employ your services. It should be all about them (clients). You have to sell the benefits because the goal is to persuade the client that your company is best positioned to get the job done. From time to time, always position yourself as the reader as you write the proposal, try and picture yourself in the shoes of a grumpy old man and see if it excites you. This will help correct many words and how you put them. An example is;

(1) ABC Engineers is a leading consulting engineering firm providing technical leadership, experience in design and quality service across all market sectors worldwide. In addition to our core mechanical and electrical design services, we provide additional consulting services to better serve our clients.

Can be better written as;

(2) Business challenges often have solutions in technology, facilities, and processes. We understand what drives your business. Moreover, we take partner’s interest in your success. It is our belief that partners give partners a competitive edge. Our clients depend on us to bring an outsider’s perspective and analytical ability to help them plan and reach their goals. Our ability to engineer, constructs, and operates facilities round out that objective.

The question is which one excites you? If example 2 excites you than example 1, then you right.

You have to be specific, keep it brief, spoon feed the reader, focus on action words, try using bullets to state important points, graph and charts if possible, pictures, all these give a quicker and better view at what you passing across in its content.

The following isn’t the default table of content when writing a business proposal but it is most likely the guideline you can use from a pool of guidelines. Depending on the purpose, type of proposal and who you directing it to, it might require you to design a template that will adequately enable you to deliver effectively.

- Executive Summary
- Introduction
- Challenges/Problems
- Solution/Reward
- Method of Approach/Technical Plan
- Objectives
- Schedule
- Portfolio
- Budget
- Financial Implications
- Personal/Team Resume
- Conclusion

Composing a business proposal requires you to understand the market to a large extent and identify what sets you apart, what makes your services or products unique. These are the values that would make up most parts of your content. All aspect of the proposal must be taken seriously because you might not just know what will convince the audience to work with you. It might be something as little as the members of your team or method of approach. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you put on your A game when writing a proposal.

Don't forget to add pictures where necessary, including graphs and charts. Visuals speak louder than letters. It's easier to see the whole event in a picture. Unlike a company profile, you don't need a glossy paper print, if you want to, you can go the extra mile.

A Company Profile also known as a Corporate Profile or a Business Profile is a well-crafted document that is used as a marketing tool to introduce a company, business idea or special project to a potential partner, client, investor, financial institution or other stakeholders. It aims to deliver a company’s story in a concise and articulate format. For effective marketing and promotional campaign, it is highly recommended that a business creates an effective and engaging Company Profile.

A Company Profile usually consists of a company’s history or description, corporate statement, products and/or services, resources, organization structure, performance status and product portfolio. In the case of developing a profile for a business idea or special project such as an app, the template will be quite different from that of a business profile. In cases like this, a custom table of content is derived to enable proper detailing of the idea. A Profile basically just helps the reader have an overview of what the company does and offers, its target market, unique strength, track records, principles and whether it is a good entity to do business with. The impression a reader has about your organization will be strongly influenced by the way the content of the profile has fulfilled his expectations.

However, a Company Profile should go beyond just stating facts about a company. Well written profiles will deftly convey the predominant values and corporate culture that lends the organization its distinct character. A unique Corporate Profile should also demonstrate how effective a company is in meeting its customer’s needs.

To put together a very good Corporate Profile you have to be concise, articulate, creative, mind-striking and never boring. Focus on the pertinent information, present the main elements and be objective. Present the profile in such a way that will make the reader find it interesting and engaging. When writing, you have to position yourself as the reader to know if what you writing entices you.

COMPONENTS OF A COMPANY PROFILE

For a business profile, the following are the possible content guideline. This will vary especially for new businesses and start-ups or the business industry.

- Introduction/About Us/Company History
- Corporate Statements (Mission, Vision & Core Values others can include Philosophy or Principles)
- Services/Products
- Portfolio
- Management Team/Board Members/Key Team Members
- Partners/Associates
- Capacity/Assets
- Testimonials/Achievements/Awards
- Contact Information

For special cases such as creating a profile for an idea or project, the following can be a possible content guideline;

- The Idea/Project Concept
- The Brand’s Name & Identity
- Description
- Development
- Marketing Strategies
- Deployment
- Investor’s Benefits
- Social Benefits
- Resources
- Budget
- About Us/Me

OTHER COMPONENTS OF A COMPANY PROFILE

Your brand’s logo: This is important in the marketing and branding of the profile and the business itself. Ensure it is a peculiar design, easy to recognize and interprets the brand message. Sometimes, using a slogan/catchphrase just below the logo is great for marketing, the message below can go a long way in creating trust & assurance no matter how little it may sound. The logo and the slogan must be what appears on other marketing items of the company such as business cards, flyers, folders, stationeries and so on.

Once you’ve been able to accomplish all of the above. The next most important thing is the design of the profile. Colors, type of fonts, creativity all play a role in building the brand’s reputation and trust. A very simple yet beautiful and unique design helps in the overall packaging.

For printing, go for the best or the next best thing. Direct Image printing is quite affordable in recent time. Would recommend you use it when printing your profile.

For those who want to focus on their core services and would like us to develop a wonderful and desirable profile. Kindly send a message to chatwith @kingsballpen.com.ng or visit our webpage KINGSBALLPEN

Getting placement are usually not difficult if you can narrow down, where you can work. Where your course of study aligns with the work the company does. Thank God for the Internet, you can do an online search for companies and their location.
Applying for an I.T placement is easy, because companies prefer to use students temporarily pay them little or nothing than taking in permanent staffs e.g banks.

If you find it difficult searching, drop of a full profile and let naira landers see if the student is worth taking in their company.

With proper knowledge and experience. Yes, I don't see why not.

Classic.... Madass classic

Yungwizzzy:
Hahahahahahahah

where are the people who said because Dbanj was taking photograph with dangote and some ministers he's into Big business

the nigga is so broke

That's what you get when you bite the hand that fed you. Dbanj should apologies to don jazzy so that his career will not die a permanent death

meanwhile

Lol... This whole story is quite tiring, last week ova the radio an OAP on beatfm said Dbanj is worth 100million naira. Possibility of Dbanj been broke looks possible coz of the life style he lives, the private jet trips which cost 1.5million per trip or higher depending on on his destination, and we know dbanj travels everywhere, talk of hotel bills, party lifestyle and he hasn't really been doing too well in the music industry not to talk of his investments that has flopped.
But saying don jazzy fed dbanj, my brother dbanj has been the main money since the beginning of mo'hits until they broke up... but for now what dbanj needs is don jay to help resurrect is music career

winexviv:
These days, everyone and their aunties, uncles, brothers, sisters, stepbrothers and girlfriends are Chief Executive Officers… check Facebook and twitter!

Yea, I know that’s a weird way to start an article but if you spend two whole days looking at a blank page, anything would do.

Generally, the CEO is the person who has the power to put plans, actions and laws into effect in an organization. The CEO's job involves delegation, decision making based on financial analysis and projections, research, managing financial, material and human resources. The CEO is accountable to a board of directors or investors and in some cases both. There are many other things and more definitions online… google it!

The more time I spend time with certain business owners in the music industry as well as businesses in other industries, the more I realize how much more I need to learn. I am continually humbled by their knowledge, leadership styles and qualities and how they interact with other people.

In the last couple of years, I have sat in several meetings with a lot of CEOs of the numerous businesses both in the music industry and in other sectors like advertising and petroleum.

I was privileged to sit in a board meeting of a petroleum company once and in the meeting was the Finance Director, The Administrative Head, the engineer in-charge of new sites etc and I listened as they bombarded the CEO with information. Information about the state of the company, income, staff appraisals, proposals from vendors, projections, projects as well as needs. All the information he needed to make decisions were provided and adequately broken down. What was fascinating was the fact that he had a discussed the things his people mentioned in the meeting with me, an hour before the meeting. He had a very good idea of what he was expecting from every department and every single member of his management team.

I’m sure you would be wondering… if he knows so much about everything, why doesn't he just do it by himself, right?

I am also sure some of you are wondering if it’s a good idea to compare both industries. I’m just trying to make a point. The music industry has very peculiar challenges and concerns compared to the Oil and Gas industry. I will make my point in a bit…

In one of my meetings with a CEO of a record label in Nigeria… before I start this story, if you think I am talking to you, I probably am!

Hi!

So, I sat in a meeting with a CEO to discuss working with his artistes and label and then I started asking him questions… What type of contract do your artistes have? Who is currently responsible for their management? Why do you need me here? Do you have a budget?

Crickets

He had no answer for me. He had absolutely no idea of what he wanted to achieve and why he signed the artistes. They had no contracts with his label and no major obligation to him but yet he was ready to spend money on promoting their music and was hoping to make money.
After an awkward 10 seconds of silence, I started asking him questions about business in general. Questions about strategy, operations, planning… You know, I was making conversation…

Crickets

I got pissed. Not because I had just come to realize that I was wasting my time. I was pissed because this fellow had just returned from the “States” where he worked hard (whatever the job was), very hard to save up funds for an investment in his motherland and here he was about to throw a huge chunk of that money into a venture he knew absolutely nothing about… Unbelievable right? That’s what I thought too.

Though not all cases are this extreme, it is gradually becoming a norm that a lot of people in the music industry have gone to start their own companies without any knowledge of how the industry works or how businesses work generally. After 1 year and all their investments have been taken away, they start hating the industry and then haggling over my fees like I’m selling fish! Tsk tsk!!!
I am not excluded. I did the same thing. I had no guidance... partly because I wanted to do it alone and secondly because I had a lot I still had to learn. Now to make my point;

Unlike the CEO of the Petroleum Company who knew about the activities of each aspect of his business, which helped him create reasonable expectations and goals for his team, the clueless CEOs in the music industry do not even know why they are in the business in the first place. They do not know what to expect from the people who work for them. They just know their artistes are not getting paid from shows… or the artistes are not attending any shows. But they don’t know why.

They are also fond of asking the wrong questions. Questions like “When do we start making money?” or “When do we start getting shows” are important questions to ask but they should come after questions like “Do you think the artiste’s music will sell?” “How do we create demand?” “How do I achieve these things cost-effectively” “What exactly does your company do?”. I know… Why waste all the time asking all these questions when we can jump straight into the crux of the matter, making money?!
Unfortunately, if you cannot get answers to these questions, you would end up losing more money than you would make.

The clueless CEOs refuse to plan. But why plan? Planning is just a tedious endeavor that takes time and effort and attention to detail about how you intend to take your company to profit making status with the hard earned cash you are about to throw into the company. *Thats sarcasm*
Avoiding it just because its too much stress is Foolishness!
No one ever plans to fail and failure doesn’t just happen. Our refusal to put time and effort into finding the best ways to approach our businesses makes failure inevitable.

He, who fails to plan, plans to fail!

Another major issue is that people tend to hate the truth. When you have money to spend, there is a great chance that most of the people around you would be “Yes men/women” and ass kissers. It is extremely dangerous to get used to such an environment because the truth then becomes an insult most of the time. When I talk about finding people who are honest with you, I don’t mean rude people. I mean someone who can look at the problems critically and tell you why it hasn’t worked and provide practical solutions. Please understand also that the person, who honestly points out the problems, may not be the same person to provide the solution. Listen to people wisely and meditate on comments that suggest improvements.

Though nepotism and tribalism seem to be working in Government, It probably isn’t a good idea to apply those ideologies to your business. Look for competent hands and negotiate good deals. No one is simply going to run into your company just because… well, just because. People have bills to pay and they are increasing by the day both in costs and quantity needed. Unless your brother or aunty has a clear understanding or experience in human relations, its not a good idea to put them in charge of hiring new staff.

Documentation is a major problem in many Nigerian businesses, not just in the music business. Invoices, receipts, work sheets, expense reports, balance sheets, proposals, contracts, MOUs, and NDAs are some of the documents that help you track the commercial and operational activities of your business. These things provide information that will help you make better decisions with your money and your people.

Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Study/Learn… Ask Questions… Practice… Trust me, this can never be over emphasized and you should never stop doing this. Study the Industry and identify loopholes and how you can create solutions. Network with the people who have information you can use. Ask them questions to help you make informed decisions. Test your theses and practice your business models. Document your progress and review your activities before, during and after you reach your targeted milestones. Attend seminars on business strategies and leadership… they would also come in handy!

Have a Plan. The best thing about a plan is that it tells you in advance how everything you plan to do will work. What kind of skill sets you would need and how many people you would need. The plan helps you measure your progress and reminds you of your destination. The plan shows how all other elements in your business come together to help achieve your organizational goals.

I will end this by going back to the question I asked earlier… I’m sure you would be wondering… if he knows so much about everything, why doesn't he just do it by himself, right?

You see this is what is happening now in the industry. When you try to do everything yourself, it may lead to a number of things including inefficiency or a physical breakdown and sometimes both. Neither of these things is good for the business. Knowing what needs to be done helps you delegate and set goals for your team. It helps you create, in your head and on paper, realistic expectations. It helps you create alternatives or “Plan B”. A lot of people are afraid of training people because most times, those people simply just walk away. There is a valid point in this. It is a lot of work training people to be efficient and having them simply walk away… but its inevitable. Some companies simply have the financial ability to keep those kinds of people longer. Focus more on the efficiency of your business and educate your staff because you want the best for your business. Do it because you need to create some time for other aspects of the business that only you can do better. There are people who give up the position of CEO in their companies for more competent hands while they focus on what they know how to do best… things like Marketing, Concept development, investments etc.

I also believe that not everyone with money should actually be responsible for the day to day running of the business. Invest money and find people that can ensure returns on investments are made so you can continue to make money in businesses you are skilled and knowledgeable about. This way, you would have created job opportunities, increased your revenue streams and everyone would happy!

Think about it…

The purpose of the article is not to force an opinion or ideology but to encourage interactions… share your views!
