The Nigerian Economy In Focus

Nigerian Economy In Focus

It's no longer a news that most skilful Nigerians are exiting the country to other so called green economies. There was a recent news that the banks have lost quite allot of talent leading to lesser business performance. The truth is that the recruiters are even finding it hard to fill this role as most people showing up for Interviews are not a fit for the open role.

Why are these people running to other nations?
I have asked friends and loved ones who have gone on the Japa mission and the answer is ''Bad leadership and the people's mindset''

There is only two ways Nigeria can get better.

1. Good leadership choice in year 2023.
In 2015, we had a change from PDP to APC. We even tagged PDP as the problem of Nigeria but to our surprise, political parties will be political parties, what matter is the person in the party with the heart to create a change. You may be In APGA and deliver to your people their desired outcome for electing you and someone from a big party may not be able not deliver as expected.
Come 2023, Nigerian should wise up, thoroughly examine the individuals occupying this seat and not the party. The party becomes Inconsequential once they are elected to serve.

2. Change of mindset of the Nigerian People: (Our leaders have succeeded in brainwashing us to think we are different using tribe, religion and sometime even language). Go to civilised nations of the world today, you will hardly find the people divided.
All they want is a prosperous and developed nation for all.

What happens next if we miss it come 2023?

Research has shown it that the Nigerian Naira is soon going to become as worse as the Sudan currency which rank 47^th out of 47 countries In Sub-Saharan Africa. Please see link below: Sudan Economy: Population, GDP, Inflation, Business, Trade, FDI, Corruption (heritage.org)

Key economic consultants have advised that Nigeria as a country has countless mineral resources that it can focus on rather than oil and Agriculture. But this all begins with focus on competent leaders and a change of Mindset wherein people are willing to take ownership for their actions or In-actions.

Team work

My philosophy is: Let get the job done as long as it going to be on immense benefit to team. You can't survive without a team irrespective of the fact Individuals possess different abilities. The pool of these abilities brought to the canter benefits everyone at the long run.

If you are in a team, express yourself, speak up when you have an idea be it stupid or good, an idea is what we need to get ahead and get the job done. Being on the team means there is a set goal and that is without you in the big picture.

KEYS TO BECOMING A TOP NOTCH SALES PROFESSIONAL.

There is nothing like the word i was born to sell but people become passionate about who they want to become in real life. You can become anything you want to be provided you have got the internal drive and that begins with you.

Below are keys to help you become a top notch sales person;

1.Networking.

A great salesperson networks with other people within their industry.What this entails is that you attend social gatherings where people with like minds meet to discuss business and how to make it right. It's vital you also network with people in your line of competence such as associations,institute, clubs and the likes who have experienced in what you do and i know you are sure on your way to the top.

2.Get a Mentor

Nobody grows beyond himself.We need other people to guide us in becoming who we want to become and as we are guided, our mind is configured to become more ion what we do. As a sales person, a mentor will tell you what to do and where to go and how they did it to close up deals.

3.Be Goal Oriented

Have goals you want to achieve per day, week, month and year clearly spelled out. You can write it in a book, that captures where you want to go, whom you want to meet, sales you need to close, contacts you need for the week and guess what? You are on your way to becoming a super sales person.

4.Know your Products In and Out

To sell, you need to first know the products and services you offer to client.That should be one of your agenda within the first 30 days of your employment.You should be learn it.People only buy from those who are confident about what they sell and demonstrate competence in it.

Expect questions like : why should i buy from you?

Why is your product different? and lots of hot questions and prepare answers for them before leaving.

5. Don't just start a business discussion, close it!!

Most amateur will start a business and not close it and that's the beginning of the fall of most salesperson. No business managers want to hear that the business is in the pipeline for such a long time..As a sales person, once you initiate a deal, have the same courage to follow it up to finish and that takes a lot of determination.

6.Last of all, get to learn about the people who need your product or services and go for them. don't waste your time on people who won't buy as you have a target ahead of you and as such, know them and offer your services to them..
