Sermwell: You got a fair deal. That's 33.33% of sales you got there, not on profit which can be manipulated but on sales. Mind you, he is the service provider so 50:50 won't come easy except a deal was struck from that outset for a 50:50. |

There is nothing wrong in asking for more, maybe you are asking the wrong person. Think outside the box. Can this business be packaged to earn more? Can you print materials to be given out at seminars with a maximum number of participants so you can hike up the fee? Sometimes we think more expenses would mean less income, but the reverse is the case if you play your cards right. Some schools might actually think this your group seminar is too cheap. Can you have an expensive package and a cheaper one for schools to choose from? Or a one day seminar and three days seminar where they can come back with questions? Being able to convince others to do what you want should start with being able to do more than you already are doing. I believe you know what to do, you are just blinded by feeling cheated and concentrating on 30k, open your eyes and see beyond 30k. 1 Like |

Sermwell: it's a fair share, the marketer and the service provider can't earn the same thing. You only market his services while he provide the services. |

Bro I am glad for you that you have discovered a talent you have and you are brave enough to put it to good use this early in your life. That said, i think you should be impersonal about this issue. Think of this experience as business 101. Just another lecture, this time in life. You made a deal with someone, he has his personal responsibilities, you have yours. In this lesson is deal closing and negotiation, with a partner. This experience is the aftermath of misplaced trust. On your path i might add. You can talk to him, you can end the business relationship, you can play your hand if you have an upper one. And now you have sampled all the views here learning the ideas of both the wise, rational, irrational, weird and downright loonie, those who speak from an emotional perspective, you should have learnt that going forward, you need not bring your personal business problem to the streets, rather seek a wise man, a mentor of sorts who will help you navigate life. The sky is your springboard. |

Sermwell:The man is over paying by 7k. Actually u are entitled to 10% according to global best practices, anything above that is a bonus. What about the experience you are getting for free. You will be a boss one day, if you are not greedy. Atleast the man owes the idea, he is already entitled to at most 30% according to global best practices in equity venture. The man had opened your eyes, it only took a word from him for you to discover you are a hype man (promoter) and PR expert. Thank God u are studying law, you can dive fully into that niche. Goodluck. Don't be greedy. |
Re: Please Help!!! Is My Business Partner Cheating Me?? by TeddyPendergrass(m): 8:45am On Sep 12, 2016 |
Sermwell: number one rule of business; always iron out the nitty-gritty details of a business deal with partners regardless of who they are before jumping head first into a business. That's a major key! |
Re: Please Help!!! Is My Business Partner Cheating Me?? by EzeNri(m): 8:51am On Sep 12, 2016 |
CuteTj:Oga, there is nothing like reimbursement. He is a field marketer who is only entitled to his commission which is 10%, Super Agents receive 20%. Any other thing above that is a bonus. The commission covers his logistics. So it is left for him to map out ways to efficiently allocate resources. If am the man, I'll maximize the opportunity by employing extra 3 Agents, then I'll approve deals that will be convenient for me. Re-package the whole process and make a career out of it. |

Young man don't be greedy. You are young and should see this opportunity as a learning experience. The Elderly man I'm sure has more responsibilities than you |
Re: Please Help!!! Is My Business Partner Cheating Me?? by Nobody: 8:56am On Sep 12, 2016 |
Sermwell: There are some things one overlooks for the future. He is not your agemate. His input is higher than yours. You also said that he approached you and suggested something. The business is his brainchild. Dont ask for a pay rise. Just hustle and market more schools. If you press further, he will drop you. I mean it. What is maketing ? You still naive.. |
Re: Please Help!!! Is My Business Partner Cheating Me?? by EzeNri(m): 9:03am On Sep 12, 2016 |
umar187:Do you know that as the owner of the idea, the man is entitled to at most 30%. That is the max worth of any business idea. So even if they decide to run a partnership, they should be talking about sharing the remaining 70 according to the amount you contributed. But in this case, we are talking about intellectual property. The man is the 100% owner. So the process is his. So that dude is like his employee, his Agent and Agents earn 10-20%. So he is over paying him. The dude doesn't have any liability, hence he is not an owner, but a mere employee. In a case of intellectual property violation will the dude be sent to prison. No. The highest will be appearing as a witness. So telling him to renegotiate is pure greed. |
Re: Please Help!!! Is My Business Partner Cheating Me?? by hahn(m): 9:06am On Sep 12, 2016 |
Sermwell: You are a marketer. That is his sharing formula and N10,000 of N30,000 is fair enough. I would advice you focus getting more clients. Building wealth is not about making big money at once. It is really about putting kobos together. Take a look at vicks lemon plus and baba blue. They retailed at 1 for N5, imagine how much profit the manufacturers make off one. Probably below N1 and yet they sell millions daily. Don't be greedy. Get more clients and your commissions will also increase. Good luck |

Re: Please Help!!! Is My Business Partner Cheating Me?? by CuteTj(m): 9:57am On Sep 12, 2016 |
EzeNri:When I said reimburse, I didn't mean for past deals but for him to bring the extra costs he incurs to the notice of the man so that he can consider placing him on some sort of allowance so as to take care of those costs. In my former place of work, I was a field staff so to say as my duties entailed calling and visiting companies and I was always giving a monthly "transport allowance" (to take care of the calls and company visits) in addition with my salary. |

CuteTj:There is nothing like allowance for a field marketer on a commission. You handle your logistics from your commission. The Op is even lucky he is paid 33% from sale, normally it should it be 10% on PROFIT. When I was made Chief of Corporate Marketing in my former place of work, the Official Marketing Procedure handed down to me by the outgoing Marketing Chief was not maximising potential by hugely 17%. The first thing i did was to overhaul the Procedure. I drafted new model, created a positioning policy, marketing strategy policy, competitive strategy policy, as well as their respective policy statements. I disbanded the field marketing unit and convert some top marketers to full time staff, creating the Tactical Team. I introduced marketing info control policy where marketing info are classified and accessible according to clearance level, I disbanded the Branding office, transfer the function to my office purely supervisory, then outsourced corporate branding fully to our PR handlers and in its place created Corporate Intelligence Unit, the first report I consider every morning is from this unit and it was christened THE BLUE FILE then, I don't know of now. I was successful, thanks to this unit. I submitted this Procedure to the Council, it was approved and according to the new info control policy, the procedure was classified as Level C (Top Business Secret) and placed under control not General. Meaning though as a level C classified document, not all LVC holder are cleared to access the document. Only 3 of the 7 LVC holders were cleared for the info, not even the Board. The Official Marketing Procedure of *** Nig. Inc. is our most valued document. It seems am taking too mch credit, but actually the entire Market Department and few staff from Corporate Finance did the work. Anyway, I was the CCM, so the Plaque from the Council is sitting on my shelf now. Believe me, the Op was over paid. He actually worth between 3-6k. I rather use a contract marketer than field marketers. Those guys are only after their pockets and don't care about company's reputation and tradition. I know the Image I want my company to have on the public, there is a certain public image I want for my company and field marketers can't help us make that projection. Were u on pay roll or commission? |
