nislyv: hello sir just joining, pls can u give us Manual of d previous business dat was lost, especially bulk sms and recharge card printing. ThanksIntroduction Bulk sms a.k.a Customised sms is simply the system of sending the same text message with a customised title to multiple users at once on their gsm mobile phone. It is probably the fastest and most effective means of mobile communication. Bulk of your money will come from schools, churches, govt agencies and event organizers. Your objective in this business is to get clients(permanent customers). We have 3-schools, 2-politicians and 4-churches as our clients which brings over N50,000 total profit monthly. We will be treating the following topics: 1. Basic Requirements 2. Advantages of this system 3. Specific uses of bulk sms 4. How to send bulk sms 5. How to get customers 6. How to convert customers to clients Basic requirements 1. A computer system Start with a desktop: a good one is about N14,000. I advice you buy a flat screen black dell monitor with a black portable compaq CPU plus a black dell keyboard and black dell optical mouse. 2. Internet modem: I recommend etisalat. Its affordable and reliable: N4000. (If you can't afford a computer system and internet modem, you can start from a cybercafe). 3. Buy 1000 sms units at N900 from a sms company that I will recommend later; which you will give as free sample(50units each) to your customers. 3. Develop a proposal and submit to your target prospects(schools, politicians, hotels, govt agencies, churches, event manager etc). 5. Publicise your service via emails, facebook, twitter, whatsapp, BBM, online forums. etc. You can also use classified adverts in newspapers if you can afford it. Basic Requirements. Other to follow are: 2. Advantages of this system 3. Specific uses of bulk sms 4. How to send bulk sms 5. How to get customers 6. How to convert customers to clients 2. ADVANTAGES OF THIS SYSTEM A. it is fast and easy to use B. its an effective means of mobile communication C. it has multiple uses that will be explained later D. it allows for scheduled messages E. it supports delivery reports F. it supports long messages(multiple pages) G.it is affordable and very reliable 3. SPECIFIC USES OF BULK SMS A. Product/service marketing: Am sure you already know this but the secret to get customers is to write an "effective sales letter" which most people don't know how to create. Bulk sms works well when promoting your product or service. All you need is a gsm line database of your prospects. For example. A business woman selling shoes at a discount and planning to reach corpers in ibadan, she can approach a female corper for the gsm lines and use a customised title like "EasterPromo" to send to the target list. To succeed in sales you must always have a target because not everyone needs your product/service. B. Event publicity it is very effective to promote events such as church/mosque programs, agm, music concerts, comedy shows, weddings, parties etc C. Reminders It is used as a reminder of any kind eg within a company for an important info. As a reminder for students, employees, job seekers, members of a group etc Specific uses of bulk sms(contd) D. Special Alerts For example if there is a fire incidence around omole estate junction at ojodu, local govt officers or a church/mosque or a company in the area can send bulk sms warning residents of the danger. It can also be used to alert motorists of traffic jam, weather forecast, car accidents, riots, violent protests or any impending danger within an area or state. This will make people respect the group, company or agency passing the information. E. Thank you notes. As a business man its always wise to build a gsm database of your customers and always send "thank you notes" to them after every transaction. This will make customers feel wanted and they will surely come back. F. Birthday greetings Pastors and immams should make it a habit of using bulk sms for birthday greeting to their members. business men can also do likewise because it would create an emotional connection between your organisation and the celebrant. G. Change notification. For example, in a business group, workers union, school, church/mosque, company etc. Bulk sms can be used to notify people of any change in scheduled programs eg meeting location, meeting time, exam date, night vigil time, wolimah date, salary payment date etc H. Seasonal greetings Bulk sms is very effective for this. Sallah, xmas, easter, new year, valentine, childrens day, workers day, independence day, democracy day, fathers/mothers day etc. I. PTA updates Every primary/secondary school have a parent/ teachers association. Bulk sms can be used to update parent of school activities and their child's status weekly or monthly. Even info on exams, excursions, books, uniforms etc can be sent directly to parents because some pupils/ students have deviced ways to print out lies of fake demands from schools for their parent. Bulk sms can help checkmate this bad attitude. This will also boost the corporate image of the school as most parents will brag to their friends who have children in schools not using bulk sms |
Re: 20-simple Businesses You Can Start At Home With N20,000 Or Less by etcme(m): 3:53pm On Aug 04, 2014 |
J. School fees increment This info can be sent via bulk sms and reasons to justify the increase can be explained in a humble manner to parents/guardians. Printing out letters is not effective as some careless students may not deliver it or they can even edit it to deceive parents. K. Political campaign This is one year that you can approach politicians especially new ones as most of them are decamping and working on every means of publicity. An average politician can buy 100,000 units once which is good profit. Just give them free value added services by - helping them create effective "sales letters" - building gsm lists for them and - sending the bulk sms for them. |
Re: 20-simple Businesses You Can Start At Home With N20,000 Or Less by etcme(m): 3:54pm On Aug 04, 2014 |
L. Inspirational messages This is my favourite and best option because it has worked well for me and others we have trained. From research, an average human being can survive 5-weeks without food, 5-days without water but nobody can survive one day without hope. People become depressed when they loose hope; some even commit suicide. So when you bring a message of hope to them on a daily basis, you will be amazed what they can achieve. Send inspirational messages to students, church/ mosque members, employees, group members, worker union members, neighbours, customers etc and you will see how things will work out for you. Emphasize this point to school owners, seniors pastors, immams, hotel owners, business men and politicians and they will surely patronise you. |

It must not be more than 11characters because gsm lines is made up of 11numbers.

For all those sending emails about business name registration.its a wise move as having a CAC certificate has several benefits(few are listed below): 1. it validates your business 2. it will boost your business proposals 3. it may be required in sourcing loans 4. it will help u in attracting biz partners 5. it is required in opening a current account in your biz name 6. it will help u in getting investors 7. it gives your biz a legal identity visit the nearest CAC office and pay N500 for "availability form". pay N500 for a "green file folder". fill the form, attach your passport photo and submit then go back after two weeks.if your business name is approved,pay the sum of N10,000, submit the green file folder and ask the officers when to come for your certificate. if you fail to pay within 60 days your biz name will be cancelled & if your name is rejected,you will have to repeat the process.however as simple as this process may seem,most biz names get rejected because of one major factor 1 Like |

that one major factor why most business names are rejected is a mistake most people make: "using common names" that have been previously registered by others. one of our SME consultancy service is business name registration. what we will do for you: 1. Ensure that your business name is accepted in due time through legitimate means. 2. We will relieve you off the stress of going to and fro the CAC office thrice(this may double if your name is rejected which is a common trend at the CAC). 3. We will help you choose an attractive and imposing business name. a name that relects your core service and is accepted globally, a name that foreigners can relate with which will boost your online transactions. 4. You will also get free consultancy and post transaction support from us. all at a token fee. however its not compulsory, you can do it yourself and follow the step by step guide stated above. you will excel and succeed. keep following |

before we continue lets digress a bit. there are 3mains things you do with money. you either spend it, save it or invest it. if all you do is spend money, poverty will overtake & consume you. its important u build a good saving culture & learn to invest your money because money not invested is money wasted.the best form of investment is in "knowledge" because nobody can take it away from u. for example your parents paid your schools fee or u are paying your child's fees.that is a form of investment which unfortunately we dont really value in this part of the world. having said that it is important to note that academic knowledge is not enough,if it is then professors would be the richest people.you need to acquire "financial intelligence" through reading books,attending training programs & networkn with other biz men.money is a means of exchange & u exchange 3 things for it.a PRODUCT, SERVICE or SKILL so plan to sell a product,render a service or acquire a skill this month.you will succeed ijn.keep following 1 Like |

goldendiamond: money is a means of exchange & u exchange 3 things for it.a PRODUCT, SERVICE or SKILL so plan to sell a product,render a service or acquire a skill this month.you will succeed ijn.keep following5-FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU START: To make money you must exchange 3-things. a product, a service or a skill but to succeed in any business, you have to combine these 3-things stated earlier. sell a PRODUCT that people use daily, create a good customer SERVICE and develop your marketing SKILLS. However before you start, there are some factors you need to consider 1. Availabilty of capital: 20k is enough to start any of these businesses l will introduce to you shortly. you will generate income from your neighbours, friends, lecturers, colleagues, church/mosque members and even from your parent, inlaws and relatives. you can even start some with less than 20k. 2. Marketing Research: Do a thorough marketing research to discover the ones which will be more profitable for you and prepare to advertise your product verbally to others and through social and print media. 3. Ability to handle rejection: Dont be discouraged when some prospects reject you as people have an attitude of making jest of others involved with trading and small businesses. the best way to handle rejection is to joke about it so u need to develop a good sense of humour to succeed in any business 4. Strong desire to succeed: you must have a strong will and be driven with a passion to excel and succeed no matter the odds or in any unfavourable situation. 4. Discipline for continuity: most small businesses die due to lack of discipline of the entrepreneur. some people start out well with good ideas but when they start making money, they begin to spend the income on personal items instead of re-investing to build the business. so you have to be very disciplined to grow and excel. 5. Open a business account: It could be a savings or current account depending on your capability. all income from the business should go into this account. dont retain an ATM card for this account to avoid frequent wihtdrawals. God Bless our efforts! |

@fulloflife sorry for that.I always like to respond here for the benefit of others.I dont know how you designed your "training programs" but the best approach is to create different modules with short durations & for specific people because most people dont have time for long duration training.focus on software applications with short duration(3months or less). 1. create BASIC & ADVANCED courses: * basic course will be (windows intro, msword, msexcel, mspowerpoint). * advanced will be (internet technology, software installation, coreldraw, mspublisher etc) 2. create packages for secretaries(one month on window intro & msword) 3. create packages for corpers & ssce holders(basic & advanced course stated above) 4. create packages for civil servants(basic course) 5. create packages for retirees(basic course) 6. create short programs on a single software.circulate handbills & use radio if u can afford it.For land sales post on nairaland but its better to use Bulksms,Verbal & Network with other agents |
