Even if he doesn't patronise you he can refer potential customers to you. You goofed. No be everything dem they take catch cruise.

delpee:


You need to learn about marketing, communications and business management. This isn't the right way to deal with a customer even if he didn't patronise you.

You could have won him over for another deal with a better response.

I didn't need refer from someone like him

What kinda foolishness is this?


The annoying thing is that he isn't even aware how foolish he is.

Oizee:
lol, I have checked it out and everything is nice.
on a serious note most people are frustrated financially, for a potential client to keep ur details for that long meant he was really interested, don't be aggressive to us no matter how annoying we sounds.

Ma his not interest a bit
His nothing but time waster
I didn't even insult him told him to download status saver
Shey that one na crime

You still have serious growing up to do.
Your attitude has made you lose not just this client, but many more referrals through him.

A client once asked for quotations for Aluminum windows, which I did. I did not hear from him for years; I forgot about him. Only to get a message from him containing windows measurements, which he needed the price. I gave him the price. I haven't heard from him still.

If he get back to me again , I will still attend to him, whether he gives me the job or not. The truth, is one day " E fit click, either him or him referring me to someone else.

Madam this type of clients are nothing but time waster
Talking from experience
I didn't even abuse or insult him

Like I said, you are one of good clients I have met since I started my business. The client in question may be having financial challenges and want to have enough money before getting back to you.
Sir, you can call him and simply apologise. Tell him all you said was just a joke

I had to chip in my own advice. I deal in real estate and seriously it's not easy even identifying a potential client.
I imagine if someone told me they will get back to me and later ask me to send a video seen on my status,Kai I will bomb that individual with videos they didn't ask for me.
I'm sure the Op will use that same data to watch YouTube video,Tit-tok videos that won't make a Naira for you, but you got angry at someone who will allow you make money from the same data.
Na wa for some Nigerians.

God bless Nigeria.

Na because you go school naw. Your approach will always be different. I've advised the OP already. He needs some education . His response was a clear difference between someone who's educated and someone who's not, no be insult. It was a mere online conversation and he messed up so deeply. What if she slapped him the way that lady did to me in Port Harcourt in 2018? She even abused me on top but i kept saying, I'm sorry madam. It was her cheque was interested in, not her insult. I made a lot of money from her. She singlehandedly recommended us to chevron.

Bleep That client ! Nigerians are not clients you give that much respect . If you are into the service industry , you will understand their wickedness . If you have not experienced them before , you will be in the client side ..

If you are in the product industry that is when they are much mellow . They will beg you to give them products in advance . DONT DO IT . They are waiting to owe you and show you shege because they know our justice system is bleeped up . You know your true clients , keep those ones and be respectful to those . You CANNOT serve everybody ! Know that and know peace

@Op, I don’t know you but I know you posted this to seek validation and here you have it. What you did was grossly irresponsible, childish and also makes you appear weak and pained. There are better ways to make him know what he did was wrong (there’s even nothing wrong with someone asking for quotations from you and not awarding you a contract because situation changes)
An intelligent man who knows his onions in a business would have tried to wisely guilt-trip him into having more reasons to patronize him from that very moment onward.
You sound pained my friend and hence your rude outburst

You lack customer service skill, and I doubt this is how you want to promote your business.

This man won’t get patronized by people if he continues to behave like this.

Lol, let me not talk.

You are supposed to be a farm worker not a businessman

You have zero people skills.

the guy is dull! Not a businessman.

9jatriot:
Wait, I non understand. For a job that has the potential of giving you a revenue of around 3 million, that was how you replied a potential client. Abi non be 3.1 something million I see for that chat?

Some people pursue one job for years, while pursuing that job it does not stop them from doing other businesses, yet this one is just one month and see how your replied a potential customer.

Na wa

the guy na 2023 mumu winner him be.
