I made ₦650,000 profit from my business in one week.
I honestly still can't believe I'm typing this.
I attended a business conference with some high profile people, and decided to do something I've been trying to get better at - actually pitching my business to people instead of just posting and hoping someone sees it.
So I got talking to someone I had never met before and introduced myself and what I do.
We talked for a while and, surprisingly, he was interested. We exchanged contacts, and continued our conversation over the phone.
Apparently, he had an event coming up and needed souvenirs for his guests. After discussing what he wanted, we eventually settled on rechargeable standing fans.
500 pieces.
₦8,000 each.
That's a whooping ₦4 million order. 😭
We finalized everything, I got the order processed and somehow managed to have everything delivered within a week of meeting him.
He was really impressed with how quickly everything went.
He even told me that one thing he liked about doing business with me was that I didn't give him unnecessary stories or delay the process.
That alone was enough to make me happy.
But it didn't end there.
He introduced me to some people in his network, and these weren't just random introductions.
We're talking serious people.
People who have businesses, organizations, events and connections that can actually change the level of your business.
One introduction led to another, and before I knew what was happening, I already have a high quality network.
It reminded me of something I've always heard:
You really don't know what one conversation can lead to.
Sometimes, all you need is the courage to walk up to someone and say,
“Hi, I run a business…”
And honestly, I'm glad I finally started doing that.
Because if I had stayed quiet at that event, I probably wouldn't have made that ₦650k profit.
And now I'm already thinking about how to reinvest the money.
Better packaging.
More advertising.
Maybe even get someone to help me with deliveries because clearly, I'm entering my big girl business era. 😂
It's funny how quickly things can change when you decide to take yourself and your business seriously.
Anyway, that's my little business testimony.
₦650k profit in one week.
Not bad.
Especially when you consider that...
I don't actually remember attending any event.
And I definitely don't remember meeting anybody who ordered 500 rechargeable standing fans.
But the way I told this story, ehn...
Even I almost believed myself. 😭😂
Anyway, let me go and continue posting my products until that ₦4 million order remembers where I live. 😂
One day sha.
Anyway, if you're seeing this for the first time, I run D.M.Y Varieties , where I sell all kinds of Kitchen appliances ( Blender, cooker, air fryer, breakfast maker, sandwich maker.....), households items ( Inflatable sofa and mattress, luggage bags, centre rugs, mobile wardrobe.....)......My actual customers can testify that I'm still waiting for my own ₦4m order though. 😂
My business number remains - 09016951890
