Good day
people. Happy new year once again. I promised myself to document any business
tips I pick along the way on this page. I have a few to share this morning.
I visited
an organization and was quite unimpressed with the state of their restroom. I
found it really funny that they had amazing codes to open an unkempt restroom.
I put up a post on my wall about the whole funny incident. A couple of people
made comments, one of whom is into Restroom Management. We are working on the Loo
Talk blog (www.lootalks.blogspot.com)
that gives information on how we can
modernize your restroom at optimal costs. The tip for me is the very obvious
one, LOOK OUT FOR A NEED AND MEET IT! You won’t have to struggle for the money
to come in…
My friend
and colleague sells airtime in the office. It’s great for us her customers
because we just send her a chat, she scratches and sends. I pay her when we
see. Of course, there are other avenues for reloading my phone but I find this
very convenient and less disruptive. This morning, I asked her to send me the
pin for airtime as usual. She sent me two pins for the two networks I asked
for. I loaded the first one with no drama. Then, it was time to load the second
one. I kept getting an error message. I was quite reluctant to tell her that I
was getting an error message. After about 4 attempts (I thought that your phone
gets blocked after 3 wrong attempts), I finally decided to ask her to check the
pin she sent to me. She checked again and sent the pin again. She had missed a
digit the first time she sent me the pin. I hadn’t checked the number of digits
that was sent to me (I usually confirm when typing in phone numbers that the
digits are complete). The lesson here for me is that you should pay attention
to details both as a seller/supplier and a buyer.
“Seest thou
a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand
before mean men.” Proverbs 22:29
“The hand of
the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.” Proverbs 12:24
