BlessedU:



Thanks for sharing this insightful write-up. But I have few questions based on the response I'm getting from the market now.


1. on distributorship, how can one adopt this strategy in Ikorodu? Because a lot of retailers already have bakers that supply them daily (abokis, people frying cake beans, and food sellers, and mini-supermarket).

2. Some of the retailers already have discounts from the bakers. So what is the best strategy to penetrate the market now as a distributor?

3. I see potential in distributorship based on your explanation on naira land(already have a plan of selling 1000pcs per day)but after discussing with few retailers it seems a bit difficult to implement in reality considering the profit margin.

Is this strategy still applicable at present it seems many people are already using it?

I look forward to seeing your response.

Please bear with me.

I will attempt a detailed response in the coming week. My hands are rather full at the moment.

Pardon my English errors, no one is perfect.
So i have have 150k which i got from a cooperative I'm participating in at work. I've being trying to come up with different business ideas i can invest the money into, I'm scared as a man if i let the money stay too long in my account i might end up spending it on any situation that warrant monetary solution.
I actually thought about investing it into crypto currency..since i don't need the money now i can just buy and keep like an investor but the problem i have is, i don't really know much about crypto currency, i don't even know how to open a wallet account, moreover I'm scared of diving into a business i know pretty much nothing about, with this economy situation, lossing 150k isn't the best idea it's even dangerous to ones health.
This is why i decided to share my thought here on Nairaland and seek your opinions on what i can do.

If you are interested in becoming a prolific bread sales distributor I can be your remote guide.

Bread sales and distribution is a wonderful business if you know the ropes. With that less that amount you could make anything between 10,000 to 150,000 weekly. Of course a number of factors come into play here.

I need to buy a Redmi 8 Pouch.

Any seller here?

Phone etiquette is very needful. If only she listened more and answered the questions, the problem with us is that we voice out too many unreasonable things.

You hit the nail on the head. We are going through a talking epidemic now where our egos are more prone to talking than listening.
If you have the opportunity of listening into an interview session you will simply be bewildered. You need tons of patience to deal with the present generation. To think that some of them are so arrogant in their very apparent emptiness.

The phone is still a very new and underestimated tool as far as the African man is concerned.

Sometimes I just despair and the only option available is to switch off the phone. Random phone calls are what they are; random.
Oblige the caller some civility until his/her true caller emerges....and even then try not to be rude as it is never over until it is over.

A lady I referred for a bank job in the first week of June got a call this morning to resume work at an Uyo branch of the said commercial bank. She was fortunate to be among the few applicants that were shortlisted from among a large pool of graduates who got interviewed for the jobs.
No, but she won't be resuming!

She finally lost the opportunity because of a phone call.
She had received the call in the early hours of today, 10:00am precise. It was from the HR department of the bank.

But she didn't say "hello".

Her first remark when she picked was "who's this?"

Before she got any other reply she added "how did you get my number?"

The HR person goes "Am I speaking to Miss xxxxxxx?"

She felt the question is unnecessary! And she gave her final response.

"Please if you don't want to introduce yourself get out of my phone" that was her final word!

I got a feedback from the HR by 12noon today and I listened to that conversation. Those kinds of phone calls are always recorded for reference purposes.
Aunty lost the job because she lacks Phone Conversations Etiquette! I listened to the recorded version of that conversation.

She lost the job because she believes every unknown male caller is a "chyker".

You see? After all it's not always because HR people are "despicable" as they have been labeled by Nigerians!

Why would a Homosapien answer a phone call like this in the year 2020AD?

Watch out! Your next phone call might be your breakthrough! But your ill-manners could cost you the miracle

Okay. Well...the area has seen a mass Exodus of Hausas in the last couple of days, and the market has been permanently shutdown. It's such a pitty though, cos I really loved the place.

Ugandatales:


Correction, it had nothing to do with Herdsmen...it was Hausa traders and Yoruba traders clash. Nothing to do with Fulani herdsmen.

Thanks for putting it in perspective. I usually band them together; Herdsmen, Hausa, Fulani....a very uneducated approach.

Just yesterday, I was thoroughly schooled by a Hausa Fruit Vendor in Oshodi market who made clear distinction between all three groups.

Apologies for the mix up nonetheless.

Meanwhile, I still would like to have some some knowledge about the area if you don't mind. I think it holds boundless possibilities for me.

I read an earlier post of yours where you indicated that you stayed around Ibadan where the last skirmish with herdsmen took place.

On reading that I had a brainwave and decided to contact you to see what could be done about it. Nothing more.

Unfortunately, I cannot spill this information here. Its not for public consumption, at least not just yet.

Many thanks nonetheless!

U won't get more than marketing n some sort of networking shit here. Extend ur search to some job sites and groups. Most advertised jobs here are just imagination and as fake as the country itself.

Spread ur net to some other sites. God bless u

@xscoffy why scoff at marketing and network marketing offers. It has been a major defining rung on the career ladder of many successful people today.
Yours truly was involved somewhat in network marketing 20 years ago. It has been a tremendous help for many people.
