Lai or Lie?

The importance of using the right word when making sale can not overstated.


Just as saying the right thing can result in more sale, using the word can lead to no sale.



Here are 9 short-but-powerful-words that will help you make more sale.

1. Free
Naturally, people like even things (even when we have the money). Putting out an offer that include people getting things for free from you will help you drive more sale.



Be careful so that they won't get used to free things and abandon your business when you have no free things to offer.

2. You


Again, we love things to be about us. Imagine using the word "I" when you're making sale. How do you think your customer will feel? Disgusted, right?

But on the other hand, if you direct the conversation's focus on them, they won't feel they're been selfish.

In fact, they will feel honoured and special. Customers are more likely to come your way next time due to you using the word 'You' instead of 'I'

3. Avoid
No one like to fall victim, especially after they have been warned.



When you say the word, 'Avoid' we having a dialogue with a customer, they take it as red flag and want to do as you say, knowing fully well you have more knowledge about the thing more than they do.

To smoothen the conversation, complete the sentence with an alternative to the things they should avoid.

4. Advantage


While making sale, always remember it's BENEFIT over FEATURES.

When you state the advantages customer will get from buying your goods or products in a clear term, they are likely to buy from you, and also come your way next time.

5. Save
No matter the amount a customer have at hand, he will always want to save cost



Proffering a way of helping them achieve that aim using the word 'save' will increase the probability of them buying from you, over and over again.

6. Welcome


We all want to be treated with respect and admiration. Sincere greetings and hospitality goes a long way in driving more sale and increasing your customer base.

Whenever you notice reduction in sale, take not of the way you treat your customs.

7. Best
We all want nothing but simply the best, in fact, we want the best of the bests.

Including the word 'best' in your sentence when talking to customers will help you drive more sale - no matter how bad some sellers fake claims have abuse that word, customers still like to hear that word.

8. Thank You


One of the worst thing you can do as a seller is to not thank your customers after buying from you(I have seen a lot of seller make this mistake - It's bad)

Never act like your customers are doing your a favour by buying from you (no they're not).

There are other sellers just like you, there is a reason for them coming your way - don't abuse that reason. Don't abuse that reason.

Let me practice what I preach by ending this writeup by saying, THANK YOU �

Thanks for reading.

Recently, a friend told me about an embarrassing situation he experienced. He attended a small party and out of all the attendees, he was the only one that was not served food. Sincerely, I couldn't control my laughter when he was recounting his story because it sounded funny. With a frown on his face, he said "I wasn't invited to the party anyway". At that point, I knew he was at fault.


A wise man once told me that respect can only be earned, not forced. It implies that before people can respect you, there is a price to pay; you need to be worthy of it.

When people respect you, they place you in high regard and value your opinion. They don't belittle you or make you feel worthless. Also, they treat you specially.

For instance, my friend was not respected at the party he attended. He even said the host didn't even acknowledge his presence. That's disappointing!


Whether you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, good-looking or not, you deserve to be respected. Respect feeds the ego and makes us feel good.

So, if you don't want people to disrespect you, stop doing these 10 things;

1. Stop going to places you are not invited to

2. Stop calling and chatting up people who don't call you

3. Stop laughing uncontrollably when people insult you; caution them immediately

4. Stop begging people for money; double your hustle

5. Stop visiting people who don't visit you

6. Stop contributing to discussions that don't concern you


7. Stop chasing after people who don't know you exist

8. Stop mingling with people who have no plans for the future

9. Stop sleeping and relaxing when you're supposed to be working

10. Stop fighting and insulting people, especially in public




Try your best to avoid the 10 things listed above, you'll be surprised at how people will see you differently and start respecting you.

Have you ever been disrespected by someone close to you? Kindly share your story.

Thanks for reading.

For you to be successful in life, there are some certain things you should never disclose to anyone. A lot of people have been unsuccessful in life because of what they disclosed to their best friends. You should try to keep some certain things to yourself.



There are some people that experience success and progress in life than others. You don't have to tell anyone everything that concerns you or disclosing your secret because he or she is close to you.

Here are the 2 things you should never disclose to anyone about yourself, if you want to be successful in life.

1. Don't tell anyone the amount you earn:



Maybe, if you really want to be successful in life, you should learn to shut your mouth about your income. It will earn you respect despite earning a little amount because you are living fine, but if you don't know how to keep secrets and tell people how much you earn.

One day they will use the information you gave them to insult you and if you are earning big keep it to yourself because if you disclose it to people, it will make them to be lazy, and they will depend on you because you earn big. This will make you to be frustrated, and it will make you not to be able to save money.

2. Never disclose your ideas to anyone:



Don't make this mistake by disclosing your ideas to someone because he or she claims to be your friend. That idea makes you unique, useful and new. A lot of big people in the world today succeeded in life because of their ideas. Your idea might be the key to your greatness. Work on your idea yourself.

Don't tell anyone about your idea, it is very dangerous the person might discourage you or even execute it before you start thinking of executing the idea.



A lot of people are the cause of their downfall. You should stop blaming God or people because of your failure in life. Keep your secret to yourself if you want to be successful in life. People will honor and value you when they don't know some certain things about you.

Everybody wants to be successful financially but most people are ignorant of the secrets of financial success Many are dreaming of a day when they will stumble at huge amount of money that will turn their fortune around. Others are not dreaming yet rather they are busy blaming their parents, siblings and the government for their failures.



The truth is that financial success comes with good planning, you don't need to stumble at success, you may not have it even if you stumble at it if you are not prepared for it. To succeed therefore you must be prepared to make it.

In this article, I want to tell you the things you must avoid as you prepare for financial success.

1 Avoid careless expenditure

Many people think that they need bulk money to be rich. That is why you can see many young men in pool offices, casinos and bet Naija centers as they are looking for bulk money that will turn their fortune around.let me tell you from experience, what you need to be great financially is to carefully handle the money you earn everyday. Everybody that have made it financially will tell you the importance of savings to. financial greatness.

Spend carefully so that you will save money for investment and greater tommorow. Without savings no investment and no future for you.

2 Avoid call girls

Many young men take delight in patronizing call girls. An average call girl cost between #5000 to #10,000 per night. This is quite an awesome amount of money to spend for a night if you are a beginner. You may think that it will not make you poor, after all it comes up once in a while. When it becomes a habit you may not know why you desire to have them everyday and why all your income is wasted on them.

3 Avoid heavy investment in projects that do not generate money

In Nigeria, it is our culture to think of building a house in the village immediately we become successful. But do you know that such investment hardly generates any income for most people.? Some people destroy their business capital in this process and end up not being able to raise the capital again.

2 Avoid buying luxurious cars

It is good to enjoy your life but mind you early luxury when your

income cannot take care of it will lead you to failure. The problem with luxurious cars is not the money to buy it but maintenance. You must consider the cost of maintenance before you buy. Also think of the economic benefits before you buy it. Will it help you to generate money or is it just for luxury?

5 Be careful with alcoholic drinks

Alcoholic beverages do not only affect your body but your mind when you consume them in excess. You must exercise restraint if you like to consume them. Be very careful to ensure that you take them in moderation. You need a healthy body and a sound mind in order to achieve financial success.

6 Don't hurry into early marriage

Early marriage can be a serious problem if you are not careful in your selection. Of a truth some wives can promote your financial fortune but this stock are few in the market. If you can carefully select and find this kind of wife good. This merger will lift you up, otherwise don't rush into early marriage until you have built your capital.

These days, the goal is not just to make enough to eat but to create lasting and sustainable wealth.


Former aide of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and author, Reno Omokri wrote in one of his recent tweets about the most important skill to create even more wealth.

Can you guess it?

Selling.

That's right. Selling is the singular most important skill because it is applicable to everyone. No matter the business you own or company you run or even that job you want to apply for, you need to learn how to sell.



You need to be able to sell your products, your time and even yourself. And being able to market yourself properly is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your business.

If you need to learn about this, there are lots of books online about selling, marketing and personal branding to help with your wealth creation strategies.

Are you applying this tactic already or would you like to learn how to? Let me know in the comments!

10 Great wisdom of Ants that will change your life forever.







Although Ants appear to be the minutest creature, yet the wisest man on earth -King Solomon submitted himself to their tutelage.

King Solomon enrolled in the School of Ants and learnt great wisdom about life through the wisdom he observed in the way Ants live.

According to his record in

Proverbs 6:6-8

"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest."

Having understood that, I have compiled this 10 Great wisdom of Ants that will change your life forever.



1. Ants are good time managers



The Ants are very wise and understand timing perfectly well. They know when they should be doing a particular activity and they stick to their schedule.

They know when it is summer or winter. They are not distracted by anything outside their daily schedule. They are good planners of time.

They know when to work and when to rest.



2. Ants dream big



Imagine that ants can build an ant hill as big as or even bigger than a human house. They are great architects. They know what they want. They dream big and are ready to give it all it takes to achieve it.



3. Hardwork



In the ant kingdom, laziness is forbidden. Every ant is busy working extremely hard to handle it's own responsibility. There is no room for laziness.

That's why King Solomon said, " Go to the ant, you lazy man and learn..."



4. Ants are self motivated



Ants don't need your encouragement to know what is good for them. They don't need any leader, Preacher or motivational speaker to ginger them or boost their morale.

They are purpose driven, vision oriented, have a sense of defined responsibility and direction. They are totally self motivated!



5. Ants are selfless



Ants are not selfish in their motives. If one ant finds food somewhere, it goes to tell others. If one ant finds another dead, it goes to tell others and together they carry the corpse.



6. Ants greet each other



Ants love, respect and greet each other. Even in their busyness, you will observe them from time to time k*ss one another as they pass.

In other words, they show care for one another.



7. Ants are excellent managers



Ants understand the need to save what they get in the summer, store it up and use it in the winter when they are hibernating, need to conserve energy and cannot go out to get food.

They don't consume all they get at once. Savings is their culture. They are good financial managers.



8. Ants Build their own home



It is hard to find ants who don't have a place to stay. No matter how little, ants plan for their own home and together they build their own shelter.



9. Ants maximize their potential



Did you know that an ant can carry a weight 10 to 50 times his own body weight? That is superhuman strength.

Ants may look feeble but they are great weightlifters. They employ great strength and endurance to enable them accomplish their goals.



10. They have unity and cooperation.



This is one highly admirable quality of ants. It is not rare to see them working together with one mind and purpose.

Sometimes you wonder how they communicate their intention or share their vision.

Talk about team work? The ants deserve a huge thumbs up for that!





What are other interesting things you have observed about ants? Do you think ants are wiser than human beings? Share your thoughts and let us know.

We are all aware of the nuts and bolts of marketing; we have to be if we want to promote our services effectively, acquire new clients and grow our businesses. In it’s most basic form, there’s not a lot to it — marketing is simply getting the word out to increase awareness of your brand. As business owners, we hope that this awareness will translate into new clients and increased income.

Most of us have developed our own set of marketing activities that we tend to return to over time, activities that may or may not be as successful as we’d like, but activities we are likely very comfortable doing. If you spend most of your marketing focus doing the same old thing, though, you may not only be boring your audience, but you could be wasting serious time and money.

When it comes down to it, marketing is like every other activity you focus on in your business. While you want to have systems and processes in place to make it cost-effective and time-efficient, you need to analyze your actions from time to time to make sure you’re hitting the mark. And it’s easy to get stuck in a marketing rut.

So this week, I’m focusing on four types of marketing strategies that you can use to kick-start your 2021 marketing plans, target your audience in a new way and add some spice to otherwise stagnant campaigns. Each of my next four posts will focus on a different type of marketing strategy, covering the background of the technique, providing an overview of how it’s used and giving you some ideas on how you can use it to market your business.

Here is a quick rundown of the four types of marketing strategies I plan to cover to give you a look at what’s to come.

Cause Marketing

Cause marketing, also known as cause-related marketing, links a company and its products and services to a social cause or issue.

Relationship Marketing

Relationship marketing focuses on customer retention and satisfaction in order to enhance your relationships with existing customers to increase loyalty.

Scarcity Marketing

Scarcity marketing creates a perception of a shortage which aims to entice customers to purchase out of fear that they may not be able to get it in the future.

Undercover Marketing

Undercover marketing, also known as stealth marketing, involves marketing to consumers in a way that they do not realize they are being marketed to.

The first two – cause and relationship marketing — are what I consider “positive” marketing techniques that focus on the benefits to others. The second two – scarcity and undercover marketing – are more unconventional and potentially controversial techniques.

You became a millionaire doing what?
Nigeria journalist don't know how to ask questions, they just ask random questions.
If it was an intelligent person asking her questions, she will be ask to tell the world what she was doing that made her a millionaire at the age of 18.

Because i know that in the western world, every young millionaire In Europe or America has what he or she is doing that has turned them into a millionaire at a very young age. But NIGERIA is so different, you see a young rich guy or lady and you can't tell the job or business he or she does that has brought about the money and cars.

That is Nigeria for you.
