Dear kayjasper,

This is not a derogatory post but an observation, I mistakenly stumbled on this thread (it's 2 years old afterall).

This particular post was so very well-articulated and undoubtedly the best comment and I was shocked to see you were the author. No offence, but you have exhibited some of the traits you accused the dealers of. What happened during the transition between buyer & dealer?

This isn't meant to be accusatory but I am just a bit amused at the switch. Wish you happy sales,[b] your cars usually move fast

Lol.. Good observation.... "transition between buyer and dealer".

Let me categorically state, that I am a marketer not a dealer per say. I do have a boss who fits into the title "dealer" as you stated.

There is something you said at the end "your cars usually move fast". Maybe if I act like the others I accused years back my cars won't be selling so fast.

I saw a vacuum in the way cars are marketed online especially here on nairaland and I decided to fill that vacuum. From pictures, to the pricing, to the responsiveness of the seller. This is not meant to blow my own trumpet but check all my adverts here, have I ever posted any car sales without a price? No.
Have I ever posted an advert with only one or two pictures? No

Have you ever asked a question on any of my post and never got a response? No.


From online marketing for big companies to marketing for an auto company, this post was actually the motivation. Instead of complaining, why not be the change?

Thank you for coming up with this.. U just reminded me of why exactly I decided to get into the auto business. This same post was the exact reason!!!


*And please do state the traits in the post that I exhibit now. I would love to know and see where I can improve. There is always room for improvement. I would love to hear your reply sir.

Shalom

LOL, Kayjasper. You really tried. A typical Nigerian is hardly receptive when criticized. I actually expected an attack. But, I still had to point out the "change" I saw.

When I first came into the Autos section I used to gist my pals about you - "saw a good deal, nice car but it was sold by Kayjasper within 48hrs" .... Your cars do move fast out of the lot. The traits I said you exhibited were apparent during the forex crisis. If I see the articles where you fought some guys, would show you.

Though I didn't comment there, I disagreed with your point of view because it was obvious you were firmly in the dealers' corner.

All that is water under the bridge, bygones are bygones. ..just saw the article, and was very surprised you were the author.

Good luck in your sales, I like the maturity with which you responded. CHEERS

Hmmmm.... Lol... Why will I attack you? You have every right to your opinion. I believe discussing with facts are the basis of every human interaction instead of getting angry and abusive.

Thanks for your observations sir. We do our best to get our clients satisfied. I hope we offer our top range service to you someday soon.

Cheers
