DO NOT COPY ANOTHER BUSINESS PRICE

One thing I am learning about business is that two people can sell the same thing and still have completely different prices.

At first, I used to wonder why.

You ask someone for the price of a printing job and they tell you ₦20,000.

Then you ask another person and he says ₦30,000.

Same type of job.

You start thinking one of them must be overcharging.

But when you look deeper, you may find out that their situations are completely different.

One person may have his own shop.

Another person may be paying rent.

One may have his own machine.

Another may be outsourcing the production.

One may buy materials in large quantities at a cheaper price.

Another may buy small quantities.

Even electricity, labour, transportation and maintenance can be different.

So I am learning not to look at another persons price and immediately copy it.

Before I put a price on any job, I need to understand what the job will actually cost me.

Material.

Ink.

Electricity.

Labour.

Transportation.

Machine cost.

Waste.

And of course, profit.

Because if I copy someone elses price without understanding my own numbers, I may be busy doing plenty jobs and still wondering where the money went.

Business is not about having the cheapest price.

It is about knowing your numbers and making the business sustainable.

YOUR CUSTOMER REMEMBERS HOW YOU TREATED THEM

I have noticed something about business.

Sometimes, the product is not even the main thing the customer remembers.

They remember how you treated them.

There was a time someone came to me with a printing job.

Nothing special.

Just a normal job.

But the way the whole thing was handled made me think about how important customer service really is.

Because imagine two people give you the same quality of work at almost the same price.

One person makes you feel like you are disturbing them.

The other person listens to you, explains things properly and makes the whole process easy.

Who are you going back to?

Exactly.

That is why I am learning that customer service is part of the product.

How you answer enquiries.

How you communicate.

How you handle mistakes.

How you update the customer.

How you deliver.

Even how you respond when something goes wrong.

All these things matter.

You may forget the customer after delivering the job.

But the customer may remember the experience for a very long time.

And that experience can determine whether they come back or recommend you to someone else.

In business, I am learning that you are not only selling a product.

You are also selling the experience of dealing with you.

Success can become a trap when you become too attached to the strategy that created it. Sometimes, the smartest business decision is knowing when to let go, reposition and build for the next chapter.

DO NOT SPEND ALL YOUR PROFIT

One mistake I think many of us can easily make in business is seeing money enter and immediately thinking about what we want to buy.

Omo, I have been there too.

You make some sales.

Money enters your account.

Then your mind starts calculating what you can use the money for.

New phone.

New clothes.

Food.

Something you have been wanting for a long time.

Before you know it, the money is gone.

But the business has not grown.

That is one thing I am learning.

Not every money that enters your business is money you should spend.

Some of that money belongs to the business.

You may need it to buy more materials.

Maintain your machine.

Handle an unexpected repair.

Advertise.

Increase your stock.

Or simply keep it there so you have working capital for the next job.

Sometimes the smartest thing you can do with profit is leave it alone and let it help the business grow.

I am learning to look at profit differently now.

The goal is not just to make money.

The goal is to build something that can keep making money.

Na small small the business grows.

Being right isn’t always more valuable than being willing to learn. Sometimes growth begins when we listen, accept different perspectives, and admit we may be wrong.

Unmanaged product returns are draining working capital for many African retailers. When a business relies on verbal agreements or a blanket no-refund policy, it either destroys customer loyalty or creates unpredictable cash outflows. A disciplined framework protects your bottom line by prioritizing store credit or exchanges over cash refunds. Setting a strict return window of seven to fourteen days also ensures that returned inventory does not become obsolete or damaged before it gets back on the shelf. Documenting the reason for every return gives owners essential data to spot faulty suppliers and protect operating cash flow.

JUMMAAT KAREEM 🤍

May Allah forgive our shortcomings, accept our duas, bless our families, and put barakah in everything we do.

Whatever you are going through today, keep trusting Allah.

He knows what you are asking for, even before you say it.

Send plenty of salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ and remember those who need our prayers.

May Allah make this Friday a source of peace, mercy and blessings for us all. 🤲🏽

Jummaat Kareem.

SALES IS NOT PROFIT

One thing business is teaching me slowly is that making sales does not mean you are making money.

Before, when I hear someone say they made ₦500,000 in sales, my mind would be like

Omo, this guy is making money.

But it is not that simple.

Imagine you make ₦500,000 from printing jobs.

You still have to remove the cost of flex.

Ink.

Electricity.

Labour.

Transportation.

Finishing.

Wasted materials.

Machine maintenance.

And other small expenses that you may not even notice.

After removing everything, maybe only ₦100,000 or ₦150,000 is actually left.

That is your profit.

And even that profit may not be money you should spend immediately.

Some of it needs to go back into the business.

That is why I am beginning to look at business differently.

Before, I used to get excited about the amount entering.

Now I am more interested in asking

How much actually remains after everything?

Because ₦1 million in sales does not automatically mean ₦1 million in your pocket.

Sales can make you feel successful.

Profit tells you whether the business is actually working.
