Making Sales through WhatsApp Status

By -

Recently, I noticed my whatsapp status was gaining lots of attention and as a very good badt guy, I was strategic with the content I share there.
As with all my social media touchpoints, I would look at the “analytics” observe the views, those that did view, the time of the day, the contents that got attention, video or pictures, funny, serious, educating or entertaining. I observe and make necessary adjustments.

Femi was a neighbor in the heart of Lekki and when I noticed he started paying attention to my status in recent weeks, I knew he was forming an opinion of me, just like anyone who looks at your brand and content.
When he sent a message and offered an opportunity to host an event, dinner for lawyers, I knew my strategic contents have paved way.
He even mentioned I did not come to mind weeks back as he would have referred me for a high class wedding in Lekki. Well, I was in Warri having fun, meeting great peeps, bonding with family and hosting a wedding anyways. So, no loss. Haha

Lesson: Be strategic in your use of social media. I just sold to Femi without having a conversation.

Question: What are your contents saying about you? Have you had business opportunities based on your stories or status updates?

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

Let's talk about Olajumoke Adenowo

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions we had this year. The session was on Olajumoke Adenowo. ---------- (Diligent Amaka speaking) Olajumoke Olufunmilola Adenowo (born in 1968) is an award-winning Nigerian architect, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, as well as a speaker, radio host, and author. She is the founder of the boutique architecture and interior design firm AD Consultin, based in Lagos, Nigeria. CNN described her as "Africa's Starchitect" and The Guardian (Nigeria) has described her as "the face of Architecture in Nigeria. Adenowo has several philanthropic ventures. In 1999, she founded the Awesome Treasures Foundation (ATF), a faith-based NGO in Lagos, Nigeria. She has been outspoken about taking pride in her Nigerian heritage and her hopes to unleash the potential of Nigerian youth. Much of the programming works with under served women and children. ATF runs Camp Dawn...

How Airplanes fly? (brief summary)

By -
Image
I will love to write a little science about airplanes being able to fly. I'll only give a basic summary of a more detailed science. Photo Credit: freepik.com Four forces act on a flying airplane: the LIFT acting upward, the WEIGHT acting downwards, the THRUST acting forward, and the DRAG acting backwards. The LIFT is the force that makes the airplane move upward, and it is balanced by an opposite force, the WEIGHT which the plane exerts downwards and which is as a result of the plane's weight including the weight of people and loads on the plane. The THRUST is the force that makes the plane move forward, and it is balanced by a resistance force, the DRAG. Thus, for a plane to move forward, the THRUST must be greater than the DRAG; and for the same plane to move upwards, the LIFT must be greater than the WEIGHT. Airplanes got "engines" and they also got "wings". Normally, we should assume it's the engine that makes the plane fly, but u...

Organizational Leadership

By -
Image
A few days ago, I found myself in a work space where I had to negotiate for a deal with an organization. I was welcomed warmly. As I walked down to the appointed office, I was concerned by the facial expression of one of the employees as we moved in opposite directions. He muttered words in complaint with face bowed to the ground as He had received a portion of the managers venom for not meeting up with the required task. He pronounced a few challenges before him to another coworker as they moved to resume duty. He muttered the sleepless nights his family has faced because of their sick child and how this has drained his finances. The manager at his end was still expressing his displeasure until he got a sight of me. I was immediately seated with Him and we chatted for about 5 minutes before we commenced the business of the day. We talked about family, business and government. Though I was surprised at the immediate change of mood. Alas; I am the ideal client; "the one who m...

Rhesus Factor and Compatibility

By -
Image
I came across the two write-ups I'll share here, about a month ago. I made some slight changes to them. Thumbs Up to the Writers. ----- Here's the First one: ***** Aside knowing your genotype before marriage, there's an important need for one to know her Rhesus factor! Rhesus factor incompatibility is a leading cause of miscarriage. It's not always one's village people or a spiritual something. Rhesus Factor is an antigen that exists on the surface of the Red blood cells in most people (about 85% of humans). It is also referred to as Rh Factor. People who have the Rh factor have “positive” (+) blood types, such as A+, O+ or B+. They are said to be Rhesus Factor positive (Rh+). Those who have the Rh “negative” (-) blood types, such as A–, O– or AB– are said to be Rhesus factor negative (Rh-). The “+” and “-” in front of the blood group is the Rhesus factor. Generally, we have A+, A–, B+, B–, AB+, AB–...

Why You have got to maintain a Steady Stream of New Customers

By -
Image
WakingThoughts: This morning (on the day this was written), I wrote, "You are not a serious business if you do not have a system in place to respond to enquiries and close sales." As a business, you've got to maintain a steady pipeline of new customers for the following reasons: 1. In a competitive market, every new customer is market share stolen from your competitor. 2. A steady stream of new customers creates cash flow. 3. New customers provide a buffer from lost sales, when old customers leave. 4. A satisfied new customer leads to recurrent sales, which reduces your cost of marketing. 5. A constant stream of new customers guarantees your generational relevance and pushes you to innovate, as your business matures. Never respond to new sales enquiries in a distracted, lackadaisical manner. They should command your best attention, as you seek to turn those prospects into paying customers. By: Subomi Plumptre

Are the Young ready to lead?

By -
Image
Each time I hear things like the young people should be given a chance to lead, I laugh. I know we still have very good and competent young people that can be agents of transformation but they are in the tiniest minority. So many are quick to use the arguments of our past leaders attaining positions of leadership at very young ages, true but you must realise that they got there not because of their competency but because they were lucky to be among a few that were a bit enlightened in the wake of transition from the colonial era. There was an immediate need to transfer responsibility of leadership to any indigenous person that had some level of education but not because of their ingenuity. From my judgement, they were average and had not passed the mediocrity mark of which I will say they are the reason for our current predicaments. If truly they were competent enough, they would have been visionary and futuristic in their policies and programmes. They would have known population wou...

Casting Aside Expectations

By -
Image
Our generation has been termed to be the most open minded in the history of human race. That's partly true, as our generation is extremely diverse, and with that diversity many ways of thinking appear. We find that the ideas older generation consider private are openly discussed by our generation and likes of such attitude and approach towards life. This new behaviour and idea of diversity has exposed a lot of us to accepting new ideas – which is not a bad thing in itself. However, it becomes a problem when we start allowing the ideologies, beliefs, and expectations of others define how we live our life. The lack of a strong personal conviction or ideology has left many to seek validation or acceptance from external parties, letting the acts and words of others guide how they live their lives. To be the best you, you need to know how to break away from letting others tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. If what they’re asking of you or exemplifying doesn’t fit into your plan...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

Understanding the Working of Grace

By -
Image
Grace makes you supernatural, not moral. The ability to say no to evil or anything wrong morally isn't by grace but by conscience exercised. When Paul the apostle said in Titus 2:12 that grace teaches us to deny ungodliness, he is talking about the supernatural life grace gets us into. Not to steal or to avoid stealing is a moral thing. You don't need grace for that. You don't need grace in order to start talking good or bad. Your conscience is there to pilot you on such activities. Joseph didn't overcome Portiphar's wife by grace, because Joseph hadn't the Spirit in him. It wasn't grace that taught Joseph to eschewed the sex trap, but his conscience! An unbeliever can deny immortality, evil things and even barbaric attitudes, yet he or she doesn't know what grace is or hasn't be born again. You don't need grace to deny wrong acts! Many unbelievers are denying wrong acts on daily basis! However, to deny ungodliness is to live supernaturall...
