Wait, I non understand. For a job that has the potential of giving you a revenue of around 3 million, that was how you replied a potential client. Abi non be 3.1 something million I see for that chat?

Some people pursue one job for years, while pursuing that job it does not stop them from doing other businesses, yet this one is just one month and see how your replied a potential customer.

You try school that He-Goat.

He might even refer him to other client in future. There is a yam ebook that I sold over 100 copies at N2000 here on Nairaland.

Some people don't buy immediately they can be saving for it or working toward it.

But this mugu have replies in a stupid way

You are wrong and will never go far in business with this kind of attitude. Why did you not buzz him after 2days to know when he can get back to you? Follow up works alot as it pushes custimers to a narrow road which will ultimately lead them to buying your stuff. You did not tell him anything in one mo th, the next time you talked to him, that is the text you sent out. Like i said, you wont make it with that behavior

That is not a potential client. It is someone who engaged him just to get to learn from him how he handles his quotes. He is probably still struggling to get contracts and wanted to use the guys videos as proof of work done to his own potential clients.
What makes you think that is not a potential client? For even having his contact and watching his updates/status on Whatsapp, that makes the person a potential client.
I guess you would have responded thesame rude way this guy responded!

Or can't u read the chat
Bro,

Even if he doesn't buy after sending the video to him 1,000 times, you shouldn't talk to customers that way.

It is wrong. Person wey no buy today fit buy tomorrow and give you your biggest break.

Business goes beyond buying and selling. Relationship is key.

If truly you sent such reply, then you're a dumb ass. I made my first one million from a client that I did a job for for 6k then. He paid me 3k or so then and after about two days I finished what he wanted me to do, went to his office for my balance but he told me to get out that he wasn't sure what I did will work. In summary what I did worked for the purpose intended, but still he didn't pay me my balance, and I didn't get upset because I believe he will still come back. Past forward about a year later he called me to give me a I on worth 1.6m or so then and I made about a million just like that. The moral of my story is that just because a client is not getting back now doesn't mean he won't get back later. Moreso do you even know if that person is thinking of calling you later in the week to commence your work and you foolishly messed it up. Shioor

You are in the construction industry, you should know better. Sometimes, funds aren't yet available to buy building materials to continue a construction project, so clients pause their projects for some weeks or even months. That guy may have actually patronised you later in the future. You could have just asked him when he would be likely to buy and then say that you had just deleted that video from your phone (if you didn't want to send him the video).
I didn't even insult him at least try to read now

Do you know the term "follow up" in business? A potential client didn't get back as promised... You on ur own part never followed up to hear from him/her. Only for you to abuse the client bcuz he asked for a video after one month. @Op na your type dey collapse company with nonchalant attitude

You don win trophy

Am into shortlet business... Do you know how times a client will call to book apartment and later say he will get back. Some will get back if they like the apartment, some won't for reasons known to them... Will that make you insult them when next they call to inquire about an apartment again?

Completely unnecessary.
If the customer does not do business with you today, how sure are you he wount patronize you tomorrow.
Responding to him that way is quite petty, it also gives a wrong impression of you being a bitter, entitled person.

He is entitled to his actions. That doesn't mean I will respond the same way in such situations. I just shared my view after analyzing the conversation.

A serious potential client will not just say I will get back to you after seeing quotes. Rather, he will analyze it and ask for some concessions, get the concessions and then say I will get back to you once I am ready to kickoff the project.

Firstly this person can never be an Igbo man.
Secondly, sometimes a bad customer might be a good referrer.

Also, you can't tell if he was saving up for it too.

But one thing is sure you have not only lost a customer, you have lost a lot of them.

I love Igbo people.
You will see a billionaire in his shop calling you sir. Just be a potential customer.

But anyways you made a huge mistake.
Wetin be video.

I remember when I was selling bracelets, I have this friend, she will never buy anything from me. Always pricing and asking for pictures.

But I got almost all my expensive customers from her.

She introduced my brackets to almost everyone in her office, both customers and colleagues.

Probably a sales boy, no business owner will respond to his potential buyer even if that deal didn't pull through, there is always tomorrow.
