What if your product was mired in a scandal like Airbnb is right now? What would you do? Would you roll with the punches or throw in the towel? Would you rise to the challenge or, like an errant seller, sink to resignation, blaming the product and employer? âNa niliwaambia tu.â (I told them but

In the wake of the KJSEA exam results, a haunting question lingers: For those who haven’t made the cut, what defines you now that the “grim reaper” of exam results has cast its verdict? Putting the grimness into perspective, to date, more than half of those that sit KCSE score a D+ and below. This
âBye-bye 2023. Welcome 2024.â 2023 is gone. Itâs never coming back. So, quit driving looking at the rear-view mirror of ‘should have’ and ‘could have.’ Look, instead, at the windscreen of “Can do” and “Will do”. Otherwise, forget the mishaps you had in 2023. In 2024 youâll be rushing headlong into a crash. As you
âItâs not me, itâs the economy,â so you say. And, to justify your many misses and rare hits those in your corner energize youâre position: âItâs not you; itâs the prospects that donât have money. The problem is the economy; this economy needs fixing by the government.â Maybe. Maybe not; maybe itâs not the economy,

âIf they are not there by the time I arrive, cancel the contract!â So fumed the Operations Director of the shipping line that was also this travel agentâs largest client. The salesperson knew the consequences of losing this contract. Heâd lose his job too. (A (non) fun fact. If you are a salesperson, there are
The percentage of sales people that quit must be highest for any profession. Put differently, the profession with the highest turnover is Sales. And thereâs reason why most people quit Sales. It is difficult to see a compelling tomorrow when you cannot raise your eyes away from a trying today. This is the predicament that those
Today I wish to share sales (or lack thereof) experiences, from a customerâs viewpoint. This is in the hope that business owners will take heed how to stop losing customers. Unless of course you want to debate the disadvantages of losing customers. No? OK. Here is a customerâs perspective on reasons why your business could
In government, as in sales, the art of persuasion often involves crafting a compelling narrative that resonates with your audience. Like telling Kenyans that unga (maize flour) prices will fall to 120shs per 2kg packet (from 230) in six months to March this year. This was to happen following the subsidizing of production (as opposed

âSorry, Sir. Youâre unable to cash this cheque over the counter, as itâs not opened,â the cashier at my bank explained. I cursed under my breath. I knew this! What a silly and, about to be, costly mistake in terms of time wasted looking for the other signatories and queuing afresh, I had made! In
