Cultivating Your Online Persona: Balancing Privacy and Business Growth · Closing Sales in Nigeria - Sales For The Nigerian Business Person: The Sales and Marketing Blueprint

  Hello and welcome to the show. Today's episode is going to be a
• 0:03
  very noisy one because it's the full house.
• 0:05
  Wifey is trying to watch that Bob Dylan movie and then my kids
• 0:08
  are just, you know, they're doing what kids do, just running
• 0:12
  all over the place. So apologies for the noise in
• 0:15
  the background. Now today's episode is going to
• 0:17
  be a follow up on the episode that I made concerning my
• 0:21
  research stack. You know, I made that episode
• 0:24
  just telling you guys about how I like to research some people,
• 0:27
  you know, just sharp research. You know, 2-3 minutes before I
• 0:30
  hop on the call with somebody. I use Truecaller to get the
• 0:34
  name, use Google to, you know, see what else is out there, you
• 0:40
  know, websites, social media, you know, those sorts of things.
• 0:42
  Just to get a basic hold on who this person is before I call
• 0:47
  because, you know, if nothing else, that's the thing that will
• 0:49
  let you know how to open the phone call.
• 0:51
  Good afternoon, Sir, or good afternoon or bro, what's up or
• 0:55
  you know, whatever. So just from doing some simple
• 0:58
  research. So it's a very easy way of
• 1:00
  humanizing the phone number or humanizing the e-mail before you
• 1:03
  reach out to someone. And that's just my basic
• 1:05
  research stack. And if you are involved in
• 1:09
  picking up the phone every day, every week to drum up business,
• 1:12
  I think it is irresponsible for you not to be using something
• 1:15
  similar. At the very least, everybody
• 1:18
  should be starting off with Truecaller.
• 1:20
  Truecaller is free. Download the thing on your
• 1:22
  phone. Google is definitely free.
• 1:25
  Take advantage of it. So yeah.
• 1:30
  So basically, I'm just going to throw off a few ideas concerning
• 1:33
  this. Now, before we get into the
• 1:34
  details, I'd like to say, OK, I have to give shout outs.
• 1:38
  So shout out to Sandra Organks. Not sure if that's her real
• 1:43
  name. She left a comment on Spotify.
• 1:47
  Let's see, OK. And I think the episode that she
• 1:50
  heard made her much more comfortable with poking around
• 1:52
  with questions. Basically, you know, you know
• 1:54
  how I keep recommending that whenever you're having
• 1:56
  conversations with potential clients and customers, you
• 1:59
  actually should be asking them loads of questions about them,
• 2:02
  about their context, about the problem that they're facing,
• 2:05
  about the vision they're trying to achieve.
• 2:07
  Because that is what is going to be able to make you to allow you
• 2:11
  to give the best possible recommendation.
• 2:13
  Whether you're an architect is by listening to someone that
• 2:16
  you'll be able to design the best house.
• 2:18
  If you're a fashion designer is from listening to the customer
• 2:21
  that you're going to be able to design the thing that will best
• 2:24
  viable. The person you know if you're a
• 2:27
  doctor is from listening to the person that you're going to be
• 2:29
  able to give the appropriate medicine.
• 2:31
  If you're a business consultant like me, is from asking the
• 2:34
  person lots of questions and figuring out what's going on
• 2:37
  that you're going to be able to recommend the most appropriate
• 2:41
  course of action. So, yeah, I'm glad that that
• 2:46
  episode has given Sandra some comfort that she is already on
• 2:51
  the right path. So if you're one of those people
• 2:53
  who likes to ask a bunch of questions with potential
• 2:55
  customers before you say, OK, this is how much or this is what
• 2:58
  I recommend, just know that you're on the right path and
• 3:02
  continue. So thank you very much to Sandra
• 3:05
  Organks for listening to the podcast and for commenting.
• 3:09
  Then also another shout out to Samanda.
• 3:12
  Samanda Abbey. Yeah, in fact, that's the reason
• 3:15
  why I'm making today's episode anyway, because of my
• 3:17
  interactions with her. Now, Samanda Abbey also left a
• 3:19
  comment on Spotify and she now hit me up on WhatsApp because in
• 3:25
  that episode that I made where I was talking about my research
• 3:28
  stack, how I use Truecaller and Google to get some basic
• 3:33
  background on people before I pick up the phone.
• 3:34
  I give them a call. I put a challenge in the episode
• 3:38
  and I told people that look, just to show you that this thing
• 3:40
  works, just, you know, use my own phone number, Truecaller, my
• 3:44
  number, Google, and then see what comes up.
• 3:49
  OK, By the way, my phone number is 08064662140, country code
• 3:55
  +234 for those of you who are not Nigerian.
• 3:58
  Now don't just do this because of the challenge, but also do it
• 4:00
  in case you'd like to connect for a strategy session, a
• 4:03
  business audit or you have questions that you'd like me to
• 4:05
  answer. I tried to respond to as many
• 4:08
  people as I can. I won't respond to you
• 4:10
  immediately, but worst case scenario, 24 hours, OK, let me
• 4:14
  say 48 hours. You would have heard from me,
• 4:16
  Shah. So where was I?
• 4:21
  So Samantha, I'd be if she listened to that particular
• 4:25
  episode and and she decided to take me up on the challenge.
• 4:30
  Sorry about that. My little boy just came into the
• 4:32
  room. Good thing I told you guys that
• 4:33
  there'll be interruptions today. Where was I now?
• 4:37
  Yeah. So she took me up on the
• 4:38
  challenge. And then she sent me a WhatsApp
• 4:42
  message saying that, hey, I've tried like a challenge or this
• 4:45
  is what came up. I know somebody else's somebody
• 4:49
  else's name. And I was thinking like, that's
• 4:52
  strange. I was wondering like, did I just
• 4:55
  tell somebody to try something and the thing didn't work?
• 4:57
  And then I checked and I saw that, oh, she put in a different
• 5:00
  a wrong number because my own number is 080 was somehow she
• 5:03
  typed in 090. So rather than first tell her
• 5:08
  that she got the number wrong, what I did was I decided to flip
• 5:11
  the switch and do it on her. So I took her number, copied and
• 5:14
  pasted and then I saw her real name Samantha Abbey because you
• 5:17
  show up on on, you know, when she was what's happening me, her
• 5:23
  full name was not there. I think there was like pretty
• 5:25
  Sammy or something like that. So I saw the full name Samantha
• 5:28
  Abbey. Now I took Samantha Abbey, put
• 5:29
  it in Truecaller and then a bunch of stuff came up about her
• 5:35
  and her business. So I now I did the screenshot.
• 5:38
  Oh, by the way, is it I screenshotted or I screenshot.
• 5:42
  I'm not even sure what you're supposed to say.
• 5:43
  So when me and my wife are just messing around on these kind of
• 5:47
  things, I just say I screenshot the message and I sent it to
• 5:49
  you. So, so whether I screenshot it
• 5:51
  or I screenshot shot, I took a screenshot, I sent the message
• 5:55
  to to her. And well, anyway, first of all,
• 6:01
  she was surprised she because I called her up later on and she
• 6:04
  said that she thought of herself as a private individual.
• 6:07
  And so she didn't think, she has just discovered that she's not
• 6:10
  as private as she thought. And in fact, I think maybe she
• 6:13
  was a little scared with the amount of information that I
• 6:17
  came up with. But anyway, I told her about how
• 6:19
  she got the number wrong and she now did the right number and she
• 6:23
  took a screenshot. So she screenshotted or
• 6:26
  screenshot and then sent it to me.
• 6:29
  And then for me, what came up was my LinkedIn handle with my
• 6:32
  company name, my follower account, my bio, my YouTube, my
• 6:36
  Twitter, and a bunch of other things that I don't use.
• 6:39
  And I'm surprised that they're still up there because I was
• 6:42
  banned from Twitter. So I assumed that my account was
• 6:44
  going to be, I don't know, blocked.
• 6:46
  I'd be deactivated or something. Then I'm off all the other
• 6:49
  social media. So I'm surprised that all those
• 6:51
  things came up. But bottom line, the reason why
• 6:56
  I'm making today's episode is this, just in case you are like
• 6:59
  Samantha, I be and you're a business owner.
• 7:01
  And after listening to this episode, maybe you go and try
• 7:06
  you true color yourself, you Google yourself and then you see
• 7:10
  that. Oh, the information that I have
• 7:12
  out there is for like, is plenty.
• 7:15
  Like is much like I'm trying to live a recluse life.
• 7:19
  I don't want people to know me, you know, that kind of thing.
• 7:21
  So just in case you're like Samantha, and you're worried,
• 7:24
  today's episode is dedicated to you guys.
• 7:28
  So Samantha, if you're listening, this is advice that I
• 7:31
  would have given you this evening.
• 7:33
  But you know, we're strangers. We're talking for the first
• 7:35
  time. So this was not the time to go
• 7:37
  into a full length of our discussion.
• 7:40
  So this is what I would have told you if we continued having
• 7:43
  the conversation. If you're worried about the
• 7:48
  amount of information that is out there about you, the
• 7:52
  solution is not to cut, cut out or to fade and to start deleting
• 8:00
  stuff. The solution is to optimize and
• 8:05
  be thoughtful about information that you put publicly out there.
• 8:12
  Because as business owners, because Amanda is involved in
• 8:16
  business, for those of us who are trying to build businesses,
• 8:20
  we actually, I don't think we should be contracting and
• 8:24
  shrinking. We should be making it easy for
• 8:27
  people to find us. So we actually should be
• 8:29
  expanding out into the market, expanding into the universe,
• 8:32
  making it easy for people to find us.
• 8:35
  So we shouldn't be shrinking. So if you're worried, what you
• 8:39
  need to do is just curate what it is that you have out there.
• 8:43
  So those of you who listen to the podcast, you guys have a
• 8:45
  sense of whether I'm married or not.
• 8:47
  You guys have a sense of whether I had kids or not and how many
• 8:50
  kids. But my wife's name you'll find
• 8:54
  in public. You'll find my address in
• 8:55
  public. Yes.
• 8:56
  You know, I live in Abuja, What else?
• 9:01
  So the kind of stuff that you will find if you do this
• 9:03
  exercise on me is the kind of thing that I want you people to
• 9:06
  find and that I'm comfortable with other people finding my
• 9:09
  business name, my social media, my YouTube, my phone number, my
• 9:15
  business interests, the kind of clients I serve, you know, all
• 9:18
  those sorts of things. So those are the kind of things
• 9:20
  that you need to make sure that you're putting out there.
• 9:22
  And that's one reason why, sorry, I'm not picking on women
• 9:27
  again. There's also one of the reasons
• 9:28
  why for women, I try and say, look, calm down on this whole
• 9:31
  authentic me something something and you're putting out content
• 9:34
  and you're talking about yourself authentically and
• 9:36
  challenges as a woman and talking about your family and
• 9:38
  talking about your kids and talking about your husband and
• 9:41
  all what not. You know, The thing is with
• 9:44
  social media, these things, they live on the web and they live
• 9:47
  for a very long time and sometimes they take a life of
• 9:49
  their own. So like, in my own opinion, even
• 9:54
  for a man's self, you know, I always think like, like guy,
• 9:57
  calm down. You're, you're sharing too much.
• 9:59
  Like this whole thing is about business.
• 10:01
  And for me, I keep it strictly business.
• 10:04
  So yes, in the course of putting out content, you know, of course
• 10:07
  I'll talk about my family because I'm a human being, but I
• 10:09
  don't put out names. I don't talk about quarrels that
• 10:12
  I have with my son. I don't talk about quarrels that
• 10:15
  I have with my wife. I don't mention her name.
• 10:18
  I don't mention her place of work, nothing.
• 10:21
  So when people search me, what they see is information that I'm
• 10:25
  comfortable being out there because look, for me, the whole
• 10:28
  point of all these things, I mean, people will say, yes, it's
• 10:31
  meant to connect the world and help us live our best life.
• 10:33
  And look, in my own opinion, that's absolute bears.
• 10:36
  The reason why Zuckerberg and you know, the boys at Google and
• 10:39
  everybody, the reason why they hooked all these things up is
• 10:41
  not to unite the world so that they can make money so they can
• 10:43
  make ballet. In my own opinion, let's set
• 10:46
  this thing up and make some good money ourselves.
• 10:48
  After all, they're making money out of the data that we put out
• 10:50
  there. So only put out stuff that you
• 10:53
  would be comfortable with other people knowing.
• 10:57
  And please don't put any private thing.
• 11:00
  So, you know, mum, preneur, mother of two, something,
• 11:05
  something living my best life, retired, my husband of 20 years
• 11:08
  married something like, I think that's too much, you know, but
• 11:13
  you know, life coach, life coach, serving entrepreneurs in
• 11:20
  so, so, so something, something helping them to achieve XYZ.
• 11:23
  You know, that kind of information.
• 11:25
  So when people search and see you, it's not husband, wife,
• 11:29
  children, address, likes, dislikes.
• 11:32
  You should be who you are, the clients you serve, the products
• 11:41
  you have, the services you offer, you know, those sorts of
• 11:44
  things. So with that in mind, when we
• 11:47
  are now putting out content over on Instagram, over on Google,
• 11:51
  over on Facebook, over on TikTok, over on whatever, in my
• 11:55
  own opinion, we should be putting out audio, we should be
• 11:57
  putting out text, we should be putting out media or you know,
• 12:02
  things that our potential customers will find valuable.
• 12:08
  Some of you are trying to be personable and you're trying too
• 12:11
  hard to be personable. Just relax, just put out a
• 12:14
  valuable content. In the purpose of putting out a
• 12:16
  valuable content, aspects of your personality will shine
• 12:20
  through. So don't deliberately try to
• 12:24
  mock up or put up, you know, throughout personal stuff out
• 12:27
  there. The personal thing will shine
• 12:29
  through. Like I'm making this podcast.
• 12:31
  I would have to be a robot for personal things to not come out
• 12:36
  or personal opinions to not come out.
• 12:38
  So yeah, all when I'm good people trying to be authentic
• 12:41
  and everything, but just put out valuable cost content for your
• 12:47
  customers. Who do you serve?
• 12:50
  How do you help your customers? What are your services?
• 12:52
  What are your products? What is your UVP unique value
• 12:55
  proposition? Why do people do business with
• 12:57
  you? You know, all those sorts of
• 13:00
  things. So let me see.
• 13:03
  OK, I think I made some notes after talking with her.
• 13:09
  Well, let me see, where are my notes?
• 13:10
  Where are my notes? OK, yeah.
• 13:12
  So having a look at some of the stuff that I found, not just
• 13:16
  her, because like I said, I do this for everybody.
• 13:19
  So if you've been reaching out to me to say, oh, love the show,
• 13:23
  love the podcast, you know, I've definitely done this before I
• 13:26
  called you. And and then, like I said,
• 13:30
  humanizes the phone number, makes it easy to have a
• 13:32
  conversation with somebody because I already have an idea
• 13:35
  of who it is that I'm calling. And then that guards the
• 13:38
  conversation. So there's some of you that are
• 13:40
  putting up lots of personal stuff on your LinkedIn bio, your
• 13:45
  Instagram bio, your, this, your, this, your, that, your, that my
• 13:48
  own opinion, all that personal stuff, just, you know, remove
• 13:51
  it. People don't need to know that
• 13:53
  I'm a husband and I'm a father and let's see what else and all
• 13:59
  that kind of stuff. It'll come out when I'm
• 14:01
  interacting with people. Whatever you need to know that.
• 14:04
  So when it comes to the bio, LinkedIn bio and all these bio,
• 14:07
  you know, bio, bio stuff, all the headers, so excuse me, just
• 14:15
  put stuff there about your business, put stuff there about
• 14:18
  the clients you serve. Then there's some of you that
• 14:21
  reach out to me and we're talking and stuff like that.
• 14:23
  I do this thing and I notice that your profile is private.
• 14:26
  But like I said at the beginning of the show, please, let's get
• 14:29
  real here. You know how they say people do
• 14:32
  business to people that they know, they like and they trust.
• 14:35
  How can you be in business? You have the social media
• 14:37
  assets. You now come and put it on
• 14:39
  private. Private what the goal is to make
• 14:42
  sure that people can find us. It is only when people find us
• 14:46
  that they can know us, like us and trust us and then end up
• 14:49
  doing business with us. So in my own opinion, you can
• 14:53
  have a private profile because like my wife has a private
• 14:55
  profile and is limited to just her and people that she knows,
• 14:59
  you know, So family people, you know, my brother, my
• 15:01
  sister-in-law, you know, family members, you know, that kind of
• 15:04
  thing. But she doesn't have a public
• 15:06
  profile. But then there are some people
• 15:07
  who have public and private profiles.
• 15:10
  Like let's say for instance, you're one of these people that
• 15:12
  you're here in Niger, but maybe all your siblings are abroad,
• 15:16
  you know, that kind of thing. And you want people to be able
• 15:19
  to see pictures of the children, things like that at hand.
• 15:21
  So now on private profile, no problem.
• 15:23
  So that after birthday party, you put all the children's
• 15:26
  photos there. Grandparents can see it in the
• 15:28
  villa, brother can see it in America, sister can see it in
• 15:32
  Australia, you know, that kind of thing.
• 15:34
  But then you should have a business profile that is open
• 15:38
  that people can see so that if somebody Googles you, they can
• 15:43
  find the profiles and have access to the profiles and
• 15:47
  figure out who you are. Because remember, like most
• 15:50
  people say nowadays, the name of the game is know, like and
• 15:52
  trust. So people guys know you before
• 15:55
  they can like you before they can trust you and then do
• 15:57
  business with you. So all this private profile
• 16:01
  thing. I'm not saying private profile
• 16:02
  is bad though. In fact, keep the private
• 16:05
  profile so you can be sharing stuff to family members, but
• 16:08
  there has to be a public business profile as well.
• 16:11
  Back when I was on Instagram, I had three profiles because I was
• 16:14
  trying to test out a few things. One profile was the photography
• 16:19
  profile because even though I stopped I never took it down.
• 16:23
  Then another profile was to promote the podcast and then the
• 16:28
  third profile was I figured, let me try doing some voice acting.
• 16:31
  So I set up another profile for that.
• 16:34
  So you can see that you can have multiple profiles.
• 16:36
  I hear that for Instagram you can have as many as five, I
• 16:38
  think, but I'm not sure. Don't quote me, but I know that
• 16:42
  for Misha, my own, I had three. So private profile, no problem.
• 16:47
  But please get a business profile because if I'm Googling
• 16:52
  you because I want to know who you are before I place a call
• 16:55
  through to you. Potential customers might also
• 16:58
  Google you as well. At least let them find something
• 17:02
  that gives them some information about who you are before we can
• 17:06
  now get to know like and trust. Then let's see, let's see, let's
• 17:11
  see, let me see. OK.
• 17:16
  And then on somebody's LinkedIn, OK, there's somebody who reached
• 17:21
  out to me recently and the person has 0 connection.
• 17:27
  Yeah, zero connections on LinkedIn.
• 17:30
  So for those of you who have LinkedIn handles, I beg it
• 17:32
  doesn't look good when somebody does the social media thing and
• 17:36
  then your name comes up LinkedIn.
• 17:38
  And then on LinkedIn, it shows 0 connections, 0 followers.
• 17:41
  And I think it doesn't look good.
• 17:44
  And somehow all those people that try to run scams on
• 17:47
  LinkedIn usually is people that have zero connections, 0
• 17:50
  followers. So I don't know about for the
• 17:52
  rest of the world, but for Niger, it's not a good look when
• 17:56
  somebody tries and then they see that oh, OK, your name comes up
• 17:59
  Kunle at ABC and then they say AH0 connections, 0 followers.
• 18:03
  It's not a good look. So you should be sending out
• 18:08
  connections. Who are the kind of potential
• 18:11
  customers that you like to work with, be sending them
• 18:13
  connections, be sending them connection requests, friend
• 18:16
  invites, all those sorts of things.
• 18:19
  What are professional buddies that you like to be associated
• 18:23
  with? You know, follow them on
• 18:25
  LinkedIn. Maybe you know some of the exco.
• 18:28
  Send them connection requests. Don't just set up some of these
• 18:32
  profiles and leave them empty. Let's see what else?
• 18:38
  What else? Sorry, I made a list of all
• 18:39
  these things. I'm running through it anyway.
• 18:44
  Let me just leave it on that. I don't want this to be a very
• 18:46
  long episode because after all, my wife is watching that Bob
• 18:48
  Dylan movie. Let me just go and join her and
• 18:50
  then let's finish the movie. Oh, by the way, so far, excuse
• 18:55
  me, the movie looks like it's a good movie, but you might not
• 18:58
  like it if you don't like American folk, folk music.
• 19:01
  So it's tough about Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, who again, you
• 19:06
  know, all those, you know, people that you would consider
• 19:09
  Ancient of Days. When is good stuff.
• 19:13
  But online. The reason why I'm making
• 19:14
  today's episode is just to say that Samantha Abbey and other
• 19:18
  people who might try out this exercise and then you see that
• 19:22
  or more, there's plenty of information about me.
• 19:25
  Like, I didn't know my husband's name is there.
• 19:28
  My wife's name is there. My children's name is there.
• 19:31
  My place of work is there. My address is there.
• 19:33
  My likes are there. My interests are there.
• 19:36
  My social and religious affiliations are there.
• 19:39
  If you're worried about all those sorts of things, then
• 19:41
  yeah. Excuse me.
• 19:42
  No problem. You can go ahead and delete some
• 19:45
  stuff, but the goal is not to shrink and disappear.
• 19:48
  We're trying to expand, we're trying to blow up, we're trying
• 19:52
  to go out because we are business people, so we should be
• 19:58
  putting out more stuff there. Just pipe low on all that
• 20:02
  personal stuff. And please, my sisters, I'm
• 20:04
  begging you. Yes, being a woman in business
• 20:08
  is hard, but I don't think people really need to know that
• 20:11
  for your first five years in business you are quarrelling
• 20:14
  with your husband for 6 1/2 years and like just.
• 20:19
  You know, it's my opinion. I think it's unnecessary.
• 20:22
  You go and check some people and you know, that's the first thing
• 20:26
  that comes up. And anyway, just keep all that
• 20:29
  personal stuff out of it. If you want to be relatable, you
• 20:32
  want to be personable, that's not a problem.
• 20:34
  As people that are interacting with you, everything will come
• 20:37
  out. If it is important to you that
• 20:39
  you have been a struggling female entrepreneur, female CEO,
• 20:43
  whatever, As you're relating on people one-on-one, you know the
• 20:46
  whole thing is going to come out.
• 20:48
  Except if you want that to be a deliberate part of your brand,
• 20:50
  you know, but keep stuff from private.
• 20:56
  Then put out valuable content for your potential customers,
• 21:01
  for your potential partners, for your potential stakeholders,
• 21:03
  your potential investors, your potential XYZ.
• 21:07
  Continue to pump that content and be very, what's that word?
• 21:13
  Be very deliberate about the kind of content that you're
• 21:15
  putting out so that you have a curated online presence so that
• 21:19
  when people Google you, the thing that they will find is
• 21:22
  precisely the thing that you want them to find.
• 21:25
  Like me. If you take up the challenge
• 21:28
  like ABA did, again, the phone number is 08064662140.
• 21:34
  If you take up the challenge true call on me, take the name,
• 21:38
  paste it in Google, you will only find stuff about me, my
• 21:43
  company name, my YouTube, my LinkedIn, my follower account,
• 21:50
  services that I services that Ioffer.
• 21:54
  Let's see what else. And it took some time.
• 21:56
  I was, now I've, I've now been finally able to bury the
• 21:59
  photography content because for a very long time, if people
• 22:02
  Googled me, the things that will come up first will be the
• 22:04
  photography thing. It would say wedding
• 22:06
  photographer, this, this, this da da, da, da, da da.
• 22:08
  But of course, since I was making a transition, I didn't
• 22:11
  like that. So I was trying to bury the
• 22:13
  photography thing. So this whole thing of actually
• 22:16
  even putting out lots of podcast episodes was part of my
• 22:18
  deliberate strategy that if I've had a career of over 10 years,
• 22:23
  close to 15 years doing wedding photography and I'm switching to
• 22:26
  become a consultant, I guess bury that history online.
• 22:31
  I have to cover it up with something.
• 22:33
  So part of my content play was making sure that when the
• 22:36
  algorithms and the Googles and you know, when the algorithms
• 22:40
  are scanning the Internet, the thing that will predominate
• 22:43
  would be my business consulting practice, not my past
• 22:47
  photography experience. So where was I?
• 22:55
  And so that's just a summary shot.
• 22:57
  If you find out that there's a lot out there, don't worry,
• 22:59
  don't be afraid. Curate what you're putting on
• 23:01
  out there from now on, but don't shrink.
• 23:03
  Please expand. The goal is for people to know
• 23:06
  us. The goal is to blow up on the
• 23:09
  Internet so that people can find us.
• 23:12
  Let us leverage the Internet, the free exposure and the free
• 23:15
  publicity to be able to find new clients.
• 23:18
  Let's take advantage of these algorithms.
• 23:21
  It makes life a whole lot easier, trust me.
• 23:24
  My preference actually is to go to people's office, go and meet
• 23:27
  somebody, go and have a meeting. But I'm telling you that if
• 23:30
  you're able to get this Internet thing working, if you're able to
• 23:33
  get your algorithms working, you're able to get your content
• 23:36
  flywheel working. It's a lot easier when once in a
• 23:38
  while somebody reaches out to you to say, bro, I heard this, I
• 23:42
  heard this, I heard this. You'd be like, say anything
• 23:45
  makes sense. How far can we do some work
• 23:47
  together? Are you available?
• 23:48
  How much? Those conversations are a lot
• 23:50
  more easy then the whole thing of you see somebody, you chase
• 23:54
  them down, you send proposal you, you respond to RFP, you
• 23:58
  know, things like that. So the goal is to blow up over
• 24:00
  on the Internet. So if you check, don't be, don't
• 24:04
  be afraid, you know, keep putting up more, more content,
• 24:07
  curate everything. Please leave all that private
• 24:10
  stuff out of there, both men and women, and everything should be
• 24:14
  OK. So if you'd love to connect with
• 24:15
  me for a strategy session for a business audit or you want me to
• 24:19
  answer some questions, the number to call 08064662140, the
• 24:25
  country code is +234. That's my WhatsApp number.
• 24:29
  Then connect with me on LinkedIn.
• 24:32
  That's the only social media I have.
• 24:34
  Even if you see all those other things on Google, I'm not there
• 24:38
  anymore. I've deactivated all those
• 24:40
  accounts. So on LinkedIn, that is
• 24:43
  Tavishima Aede. Then also have a YouTube channel
• 24:46
  the same name, Tavishima Aede. Thank you very much for your
• 24:49
  time and attention. I'll catch you guys with the
• 24:50
  next recording. And again, I want to shout out
• 24:53
  Sandra Organs and Samantha Abbey and by extension, the rest of
• 24:59
  you who are listening, who are commenting, who are sharing,
• 25:03
  particularly those of you who share.
• 25:06
  I don't see when you guys share because like somebody sent me a
• 25:10
  screenshot, maybe a screenshot, the person who screenshotted me
• 25:14
  or screenshotted me about how he was in another online community
• 25:18
  and that's when people are sharing my stuff.
• 25:19
  So for you guys who are doing that, I think it's absolutely
• 25:22
  fantastic that you guys are supporting me and putting out
• 25:25
  the love. I really appreciate you guys,
• 25:28
  even though sometimes they're sharing it in places that I'm
• 25:30
  not a member of and that I can't see.
• 25:32
  I really appreciate you guys and I appreciate the encouragement
• 25:34
  and my prayer is that God will also raise people who also help
• 25:40
  promote your businesses too, and also help you to expand into the
• 25:44
  desires, into the dreams and the good life that you want for you
• 25:47
  and your families. So thank you very much for your
• 25:49
  time and attention. I'll catch you guys at the next
• 25:51
  episode.
