Hi guys,
Its a brand new week and here I am with an entry into the hive learners weekly contest. Today I will be writing about business and the real world.
A few days ago I was talking to a friend about how the world has changed and it seems everyone is into the importation business. What I mean by the importation business is people who buy from outside vendors at a cheaper price but at the end of the day it takes months before your products get here. There are others who also shop on shein or temu and then it takes a couple of days or weeks to get to ghana.
I was saying that we have been brainwashed to think that as far as that product is not coming from Ghana then its a legit product. We fail to understand that it can be coming from outside ghana and still be a fake product. Intact as far as I cab remember a friend's dad went to Saudi and bought ans cloned iPhone thinking it was an original iPhone.
So no matter where it's coming from, it can still be a fake product.
For me, I think being a business person is not a problem cause the first point of business for most people is to make money and thats why they started in the first place. As much as I dont have a problem with that I do have a problem with most vendors. Most vendors dont care about customer satisfaction or selling the right products. They'll lie through their teeth just to make a sale. Well, we can also liken the situation to insurance sellers. Am insuarance person will come to you and make you feel like he or she is doing you a great favour but at the end of the day they stand to gain more. We can also liken It to the loan grantors. They come to you like they want to help you get out of financial burden but are only looking to get huge interest after you've taken the loan.
A few years ago a lot of people entered certain trades because they were very good at it or it was their passion. But in this day and age we have come to quickly realize that a lot of people enter into trade just to make money. They dont care about what they are selling to people as long as its making them money. Its even sad when you realize that the health centers are the spear heads of this. They only make sure to sell drugs which give short term remedy so you can keep on coming and coming. This particular situation has been one of the contributing factors to people going in for local treatments when they are ill.
What can be done? Well, it has been proved beyond reasonable doubt that people will continue coming back as long as you give them good products. People need to know that when you offer good services at even a costly fee it'll still be patronized as long as its good. So even if its not ones passion they can still learn about it properly so they can give the best put there.
