Selling Out Yourself Competently As A Business Model.

Every entrepreneur is in one way or the other considered a business model, we are supposed to model our products, our brand and our company. In order to present ourselves as a competent model, we need to make ourselves presentable. Our minds, our faces, our voice as well as our appearance has a great description to make about our business.

I needed some money to pay some bills in school and there was no other way I could get the money, I realized that some of my hostel mates needed new foot wears and they were not ready to go out of the hostel to get it, I begged a friend to loan me some money and I quickly got few beautiful foot wears from a wholesaler who lives across the road, I took it from one room to another to show it to students who obviously had more money than I did, the outcome of the purchase was great and I was able to begin payment of the loan gradually. I could however not take out of those beautiful foot wears for my self because I knew I had a loan to pay and most importantly, handout and other school item to purchase. Students loved the fact that I could bring the foot wears to them in the comfort of their rooms and still sell at a cheap price, so I started getting referrals. There is a day I will never forget in the history of my footwear sales, I took foot wears to a particular room and the lady that had referred me to her friend dragged me into the room as she presented me to her classy friend as the lady that sells beautiful foot wears, with a beautiful smile on my face, I opened my bag to begin the display of the foot wears I had but one of the ladies gave me a very disgusting look and an annoying laughter, her friends asked what the problem was, and she told them to look at my feet, in her words she mentioned that she could not purchase a beautiful footwear from someone who could not afford to get one on her feet. I cried out my eyes that night but I learnt my lesson. Business requires that you present yourself in an acceptable way, your appearance adds so much meaning to your business.

Every business presentation does not have to be in terms of sales, it might be for a meeting to close deals and several other reasons, whatever case you find yourself as a business model, there are things to consider:
Adequate preparation is required before you proceed to any presentation, the fact that you have been doing it for a long time does not guarantee your inability to make mistakes, get prepared before any presentation.

While you face some business expert, they may want to make your effort and presentation appear inadequate, but that should never make you feel less. Remember, no one understand your business as much as you do and it will be great for you to use that to your own advantage, but in this process, be careful not to give out your business secrets.

There are other business models we will like to imitate for reasons best known to us, there are so many business enterprises, that seem successful already and we just want to be like them, but we also need to look out carefully so we do not get to run after bad business models.

How is the quarantine period going, I have been hearing about relief packages around the world, I will like to know if you have gotten anything from your government yet? The only thing I see in my country is the price of food items getting more expensive and poor people being unable to afford them. Safety is important, please stay safe. I am @oluwatobiloba.
