  HOW TO MANAGE AN OWING CUSTOMER T here is nothing worse than an owing customer. It can be very bad for your morale as a 'logipreneur' and can get quite frustrating. Here are a few tips to help you deal with them: Have the right mindset : The right mindset cannot be overemphasized as people that owe can come up with a ton of excuses. Be committed to getting all your money from the client. Be friendly but professional and remain firm. If you are not good at negotiating get someonelse on your team to do it for you such as the accountant. Leave sentiments out of it. Follow up : Have a system for following up with customers that are 3days, 1 week and 1month late and stick to it. Do not let late payments slide because you do not want to be confrontational. Send reminder emails or letters before and after the due payment date and also give them the option of calling you to discuss any discrepancies in their invoice. Make that phone call : After the reminder via email or letter, pic...

  STOP PROCRASTINATING AND JUST DO IT Dear logipreneurs, Everyday tomorrow... ​ I will start eating healthy...tomorrow. I will learn a new skill.....tomorrow. I will start my delivery company......tomorrow. ​ Ok let us not get too carried away. ​ Procrastination is the thief of time. As a business owner you should strive to overcome procrastination.

Learn the time of the day that works for you and use it. Are you a morning person or a night owl? When do your creative juices kick off? There will never be a perfect moment so stop waiting for it and just do it. ​ Procrastination will sabotage your efforts. It is essential to overcome it if you want your business ...

  OVERLOADING YOUR BIKE WILL COST YOU MONEY This is what we call 'OVERLOAD', lol. Yes, we know clients call and request for delivery of bulky items to be done via bike that they clearly know will not fit into the bike box just to save them money. Here are 5 ways, overloading your bike can cost you money: You can be fined by the regulatory authorities for overloading your bike. It causes the tyres to overheat and wear quickly which increases the chance of premature, dangerous and expensive failure. It makes it difficult to maneuver in traffic and loss of vehicle stability which can also lead to accidents that can be fatal. It increases fuel consumption. If you have insurance (which is an excellent idea) it might render your insurance claims invalid if your bike is involved in an accident. I hope I've been able to convince you that 'Overloading your bikes will cost you money and is so not worth it' :) Next time a client calls you to book a delivery and is unable to de...

  Are you constantly changing dispatch riders? Are they always quitting on you? Have you ever stopped to think that the issue might actually be YOU and not the riders? . It could be the way you treat your riders, your attitude towards them or your working conditions. Before you start pointing fingers at your riders, look inwards and see if you are the issue.  Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow.

 𝘿𝙄𝙎𝙋𝘼𝙏𝘾𝙃 𝙍𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙍𝙎 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂 Are your riders giving you headaches or high BP?  Are your riders having difficulties in planning their routes or too lazy?  Do you have a rider who's a side-job guru?  Do you have an inexperienced rider?  Do you have issues with your rider(s) at all?  If you answer "YES" to any of the above questions, worry less because 𝙇𝙀𝘼𝘿𝙒𝘼𝙔 𝘽𝙐𝙎𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝙎𝙊𝙇𝙐𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎 𝙇𝙏𝘿 is offering a 3 day 𝘿𝙄𝙎𝙋𝘼𝙏𝘾𝙃 𝙍𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙍𝙎 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂 to ensure you have a stress free pickups and dropoffs in your logistics business.  𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - N15,000 per rider 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚 - October 12-14, 2020 𝙇𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - Ikotun For details, call 07060692321 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚. 

Genuine question. Is it really possible to be FAST, CHEAP AND RELIABLE while remaining profitable?  By saying cheap, does this mean cheaper than the average market price? When you say fast, does this mean you will not follow the natural geographical order for your pick ups and drop offs? When you say reliable are you saying you will meet up with your 'fast' deliveries without a tyre puncture or other form of delay?  We have always wondered how a company can guarantee a combination of these consistently. Do you offer fast, cheap and reliable deliveries? How does one offer timed deliveries as a standard and at lower prices. If it is a market penetration strategy, okay but doing it consistently?  What are your thoughts on this? Let's hear from you in the comments section below. 

Never leave them guessing and this just saves everyone from the hassle of "Oh sorry I am based in Kano, not Abuja". Spell it out....in fact state which part of your city you are based in and always put it in the geotag on each IG post you make.
