Business Audit: How to Attract and Retain Clients and Distributors in Abuja

Hello and welcome to the show. Today's an art and about episodes. We're expect to hear some noise in the background. What we're going to look at today is how to engage clients in your new hustle. It's a business audit. I'm not going to reveal lots of details about the person or the business because I didn't get the permission to do that. Although for those of you who are going to do business audits in the future, I'm sure to get your permission so I can share the benefits of the conversation over here on the podcast so that people can learn from, you know,

you and I bouncing ideas back and forth. So basically today we're just trying to figure out how to engage more clients. If you have a side hustle and if you happen to be involved in the retail business like this person is, you know, ideas about how to keep up with cash flow, how to get new clients and those sorts of things. So this was just a one off conversation. It's a business audit, so nothing too in depth. The whole point of the business order is just you and I having a sales, sorry, not a sales, a business conversation, trying to figure out what the problems are in your business and trying to see what you need to do to take things to the next level.

Of course, if it's something that I can help out with, then of course we will explore conversations in more details about how I can end up working with you. But at the very least I should be able to give you some ideas about where your business is at, what you need to do to take it to the next level. So that's what we're going to look at today. Before I get on that, I would like to say thank you very much to all of you who've been listening to the show, who've been subscribing and who have been sharing because I just got the details from Spotify.

The also called Spotify Wrapped because at the date of this recording, we're at the end of 2024. So Spotify has sent me the rap just so I can see about the growth of the podcast. And I'm really, I'm glad I'm, I'm, I'm touched by those of you who like the show, who joined and who shared and who are helping the podcast to continue to grow. I think the growth of the podcast this year was over 600%. I'll get the actual figures from the rap later on.

Then I think I experienced the most growth with listeners who are between the ages of 25 to 29. So I'm glad to have you guys on board. It's always nice when people start early. So yeah, thanks for listening to the show. I also found out that people who listen to my show, for lots of people, I'm a top 10 show, for some people, I'm a top five. And for very small niche, I think I'm about OK, not niche anyway, or for a very small #170

something I'm a top one podcast. So I'm really glad that you guys keep me on top of the playlist. And also found out that a bunch of you listen to Femi Lazarus, listen to Coin Nonia experience, the honest bunch, I said What I said and the celebration Church International podcast. And I'm glad to see that you guys listen to those shows as well because these are things that also peak my curiosity, you know, faith, theology,

philosophy, all these sorts of things. So, you know, when we chat one-on-one, these are things we can talk about. But of course, I'm going to limit the podcast to purely business matters. So overall, just saying thank you guys very much for helping the podcast grow in 2024. I'll make another podcast episode later on after I have all the details from Spotify so that I can say I can be more specific about what I'm thanking you guys for.

So back to the conversation for today on how to engage clients in your side hustle. So this individual, a lady, let me see, I should come up with the name for her. Phoenix. OK, let's just call her Phoenix. Yeah, called Phoenix X-Men. Phoenix rising from the ashes. So I had a chat with Phoenix. Phoenix is based in Abuja. This is a side hustle that she's doing. She works with the National Population Commission. Yes. I'm going to say where she works just so that when Phoenix is listening to this episode, she knows that, you know, I'm talking about her, of course,

not using her real name. So Phoenix works in the National Population Commission and she has a side hustle where she sell. OK, I'm not going to say what she sells because if I do, then that might be revealing her identity also so that if her boss is listening to this podcast, he doesn't figure out who she is. Because as we know in this part of the world, if you work in the civil service, you're not supposed to have a side hustle.

But I'm one of those Nigerians who has a gripe with these kinds of rules because you work somewhere NTAMPC Ministry of Finance, but you know, Olga has a side hustle, your line manager has a side hustle as a everybody has side hustle. So like, what are we doing here? I might as well just change the law and make sure that we have strict regulations under which conditions you can have these sorts of side hustles. Because I remember the kind of abuses they used to go on back when.

So excuse me, People in my set were like in primary school, you know, some teachers come in, they're supposed to be teaching, but you know, they're selling clothes on the side and stuff like that. You're like, maybe customers come and meet them in the classroom. I didn't have any of those incidences, but I heard from some of my classmates that stuff like that used to happen. So yes, we do not want to have these situations where people are supposed to be doing their main work, the government work,

and then they're doing side hustle. So I understand where these things are supposed to be. But The thing is, if we're not going to enforce these rules uniformly, because in practice, what happens is desk office, I can't have a side hustle. But then the DG outside hustle or the MD outside hustle. In fact, the MD might even have a company that is now supplying to, to the, to the Paris state health to the ministry. Anyway, don't mind Misha,

because, you know, my father used to be in the civil service. So I just have very strong opinions about some of these things. We, you find that those of us who are civil service kids, we have some strong opinions about these things. So, yeah, so she has a side hustle. And then we had a conversation around margins because her own margins are roughly between 15 and 30K. And so she didn't know what was a healthy idea for her margins,

to be honest. When we say margins in this case, all mean is, you know, the money you put on top. So let's say you sell something and to manufacture anything or to buy, you think it costs you 60K. And then when you sell it, you sell it for 75. So that 15K on top, that is your margin. By the way, for those of you who studied accounts, you will tell me that yes, my math is wrong. And yeah, of course, there's a much more technically precise way to calculate your margins.

But for now, to keep it simple, if you buy something for X and you sell it for X + 2, then that +2 is your margin just for the purpose of this podcast and the purpose of keeping it simple now. So our margins are between 5015 and 30 K 30,000. And so she doesn't know if that's a healthy margin. And for our industry, I don't know if it's a healthy margin either. This is something that you figure out after you stay in the industry a bit and after you talk to a bunch of people, you know, like, well, how much do you sell your own for, you know,

stuff like that because you might be selling for 1530 K and you think that that's a good margin. But then you talk to your contemporaries and you find out that your contemporaries are selling 100K margin. And then you know, in that case, you now know that OK, your margins are not, are not typical, are not healthy. So it all depends. So there's some industries where if you sell at A15K margin, it's fantastic. And then there's some industries where if you sell at a 15K

margin, it is absolute rubbish. And the example that I gave Phoenix when we're talking was a friend of mine who sells rice. And the last time that we spoke to that, I spoke to that friend of mine, he was making about 7 K on each bag, 710 K on each bag. And that was considered typical. So for her, she sold a relatively smaller, what she's selling is smaller. And so for her to make it 15 to 30 K on that thing, I thought was not was not bad.

However, this was my advice. Whether it is a healthy margin or not is not the main thing that we're supposed to be discussing. Now, my own opinion was this. You have margins of 15 to 30 K. Let's keep it like that. Now let's see how you can get some things moving in your favour. Let's see how you can work on payment terms for your business. And let's see how you can increase the number of distributors or number of resellers and the number of customers that you have.

Because even though the profit margins was 15 to 30, she was having problems with her payment terms because it's one of these things that people buy now and then they pay later. And then of course, you know, she buys the goods now, she gives it to the person now, but then the money is going to come maybe like next month or in two months. So I told her that some of those concerns, how to manage these sorts of things is mostly a cash flow issue.

And it's not something I have the expertise to be able to sort out because I don't, you know, it's not my era specialty. So I can't advise you on those sorts of things. You know, how many things should you keep? OK, let's say it's bags. How many bags should you buy? How many should you keep in inventory? How many? What is the maximum number that you can sell every single month on credit? And if you sell on credit, how many days do you have?

Must you collect your money before you run out of money? Because these are some of the concerns that those of you who sell physical products have. For those of us who sell services, we don't really have these concerns per SE. Because even if you do something for someone on credit, by the way, I'm not going to advise that you sell services on credit because that's really tricky. Because at least if you sell handbag on credit, the person is using the handbag.

So The thing is tricking the person's conscience that I'm rocking this bag, I haven't paid this money. With services, it's a bit different. If you're a web designer, you go ahead and you design the website and you give the personal credit, then may you put yourself on some long jump. So I would recommend service providers do things on credit. So what was that? Yeah, it's a cash flow concern because of you who sell physical stuff, you need money to buy the goods.

Sometimes you're paying to store the goods somewhere. Let's say you have a shop, and then when you sell the goods, you need to bring money in so that you can buy the next set. So if you're giving people goods on credit now you're tying up money that you're supposed to use to be buying new inventory. So it's a cash flow thing. So I told her, go talk to someone else who studied accounting or maybe somebody who studied biza.

I mean, even if they can't answer your questions, they'll be able to point you to the right specialist who'll be able to advise you. And I told that it's just typical because it's like banks that I told her. So banks, they collect people's money and they keep in the coffers, but as they're lending it out to other people, they also need to have a certain amount in reserve so that when people come and say, look, give me my money, they have money to give them.

So there's a cash flow management thing. So I told her less so you need to work on your payment terms. How do you stop selling to people on credit? How do you make sure that you collect, you're you're collecting quicker, you know, all those sorts of things. Because if you reduce the amount of credit you're giving people, and that's assuming you keep the revenue the same. So let's say last year you made one M on your business.

This year you make one M on your business. But last year you are giving people credit and they were taking two months to pay. If in this year you still made 1M revenue, but you are giving people 30 days to pay or 15 days to pay, you'll find that your life will just be with a whole lot less stress. So same amount of money but a better quality of life because there's less stress because people are paying quicker. So you don't have to worry too much about where you get money to make inventory or to pay your staff or things like that.

So yeah, I told her margins just hang on for now. We don't, we both don't know enough about what is good. We need to talk to other people in the industry. So let's figure out payment terms. Let's say we can't be collecting money, shop, shop or we reduce the amount of credit that we're selling on. And then she had two distributors based in Abuja, 1-2 distributors based in Maraba. So she's sourcing stuff from, I can't remember if it's Kano or Lagos that she's sourcing her stuff from.

And then selling in Abuja, especially the outskirts, you know, all those places closer to NASA, our estate. So selling in Maraba. So she has two retailers there, 1 retailer, very consistent. The other one not so much. So my advice was OK, now, now that you have this guy, the fellow that's consistent, OK, I told her about the what people some people call Paretos principles, some people call it the 8020 rule, some people call it the law of unequal distribution.

I prefer to say law of unequal distribution because they tell people 8020 and then they look and then they see that statistically was not 8020. Those all this thing is false. The main thing is not the amount. The main thing is this that you'll find in your business that the most money you will make will come from a small group of your customers. The biggest results that you get will come from the smallest from the smaller segments, smaller group of customers or small set of activities that you do.

So when you think of the law of an equal distribution, you're trying to figure out what is that thing that I do that gives me the most profit and then let me double down on that. So in this case, to a few retailers, but mostly to one of them, really, really consistent. So if you double down on what's working, you talk to the guy who is consistent, you try and get him to buy more from you or you try and raise the prices on what it is that he buys.

Or you try and get referrals from him so that he's referring you to other distributors who have the same work ethic and who have the same reach and who bring in good business. And you'll find that that will make your life a whole lot easier if you're similar in Phoenix's position. So if you have two distributors, one of them is very consistent. The other guy is one kind, one kind. My advice, the one kind guy, OK, keep doing business with him.

But that person who is consistent, man, doubling, doubling, give him or her favorable terms. Try and see how you can move more merchandise. See if you can move merchandise with this person at higher prices. Worst case scenario, make sure you're trying to get referrals from this person so that this kind of distributor is referring you to other kinds of distributors because it will make your life much, much, much sweeter.

The goal is we try and sweeten up our life so that this other distributor who is one kind, we just free the person because business is hard to come and now start babysitting somebody else, constantly calling, constantly toasting, constantly chasing. But that's what highlight that we don't need. So let's make sure that we're dealing with resellers, distributors, merchandisers, whatever people that don't give us stress people that they're doing their business, they're handling their business.

We're working with them. And you know, like I'm growing my I'm growing my business, you're growing your business together. We're growing our business partners in progress. That's all we should be looking for. Anybody who's not a partner in progress, just let that person fall by the wayside. So for now, yeah, do basically personal, but people are not really partnering with you. Let that person fall by the wayside. Let's those of us who want to make progress, let's be making progress together.

Let's be moving forward. Then let's see what else. OK, then she also has a bunch of customers in the office. And for that, I applauded her because when you're starting off in business, just like Phoenix's, it is well, talking to strangers is hard. So it's easiest when you start with when you start with friends, family members and associates. So if it's something that Mumsy and Popsy can buy, you know, talk to mumsy and Popsy.

If they buy, you can ask if mumsy and popsy have friends who might be interested. That's a lot easier conversation to have than way to go and start with somebody brand new. So start with family. See if you can sell your family, then move to your friends. See if you can sell with friends, then move to colleagues. People at work seem to buy from you and spread it out small. See if you can buy from people who, who go to church with you or who go to mosque with you or whatever, you know.

So like that, like that, like that, you start with the people that you know and it's easier to gain some confidence so that then you can start talking to strangers. So that's one thing that Phoenix did. I was really good. I clapped for her and you guys should do that as well if you're coming into the business. Friends, family members, colleagues, associates, acquaintances, you know, before you start moving out to strangers, some of us have no problem with talking with strangers, but it's, it's a muscle that you build over time.

So I told her, yeah, cool. Talking to people in the office, very good. But after a while, you're going to exhaust the office. So what you do is, unfortunately for her, the parastatal that she works with is not in like in the secretariat, because it wasn't the secretariat. It would be beautiful because what you can do is since you already work at, let's say, let me see, there's Ministry for Commerce. Yeah, Ministry for Commerce is in, is in area.

I think that's like Durumi side in Abuja, Abhi. OK, let me just use. OK, so like Durumi and then maybe like Lagos Alousa. So you see how all those buildings are chocked together. So this is the whole idea. So if you work in Napa, in Lagos, in Alousa for instance, you talk to people in your department, you can come down and go downstairs and voila, it's a whole new department, more people to talk to. Let's say you six months, are you?

You use the whole building. Everybody knows how, OK, this girl that stays on the 6th floor, she sells bag of rice. Everybody there now knows you. You can now come outside, move to the left, move to the right. There's another building, there's another ministry, there's another parastatal and start trying to sell there. So that's the kind of scope that I gave her. So I told her that in America, for people in the real estate space, I think they called it Land and expand.

So the whole idea is this. If there's a street of 10 houses and you end up doing business with house #5 that's the one that clicks. When you finish the business, house #5 you come out and then you enter house #4 see if you can do business there. Whether it clicks or it doesn't click, you come out and then you go to house number six and see if you can do business there. So that's the whole idea with the land and the grab.

This person has agreed with me. OK, no problem. Now that I'm finished with this person, I'll move to the left and I'll try my luck. I'll move to the right and I'll try my luck. It's not everything that clicks, but I should keep doing this thing. Over time, your odds of business success continue to increase. And then of course, if house #4 clicks, you do the same thing. You come out and you go to house #3 so you see how it works.

So you land in one place and try and expand from there. You land here, you come out, move to the left, see how you can do business, move to the right side, you can do business. So I told her she have to do that kind of scope as well. That's when it comes to physical prospecting. That's going to go and talk to people one-on-one. It's land and expand is easy to do when you work, when you're in paid employment and you're around some businesses because people see you.

So it's not hard. So if you work in business, a business at OK, let's see, I'll put it now. Let me go back to Ministry of Commerce. So, so excuse me, Hamartan so-called in Abuja. So let's say you work with the Ministry of Commerce with the office in Durumi or area one that's in Abuja, the old secretariat. Now Ministry of Commerce is close to NOA National Orientation Agency and it's close to it's close to is it NPC that's population Commission and only they're close to themselves.

Commerce is close, national orientation is close and I think population Commission, I think I'm not sure. So The thing is this as a committee to office every day, let's say I've been working there for like 2-3 years. The security guards they know you they see you Hopefully you've been greeting them. Hey boss, are you there now as a family, that kind of thing. So they see you as you're going to work. So if by the time you finish working your.

Your department, let's say you're in midstream of commerce, you've talked, you've spoken to people in your department, Everybody knows that you sell rice. You now move upstairs, people upstairs know that you sell rice. You now move downstairs, people know that you sell rice. This is what I'm using rice is because the date of this recording, it's December, I think December 3rd or 4th. Sorry, I left my watch at home, so why was I?

So it's like December 3rd or 4th. We're heading towards Christmas, so chicken rice, tomatoes, Grano oil, that kind of thing. So those are kind of things that folks are trying trying to flog right now. Sorry about that. This code is really doing me strong team. What was I? So, yeah, that's why I'm using rice as an example. So everybody, your department, they know you sell rice upstairs. I know you sell rice downstairs.

I know you sell rice. You will now come out of your building Ministry of Commerce because you have spoken to everybody humanly possible in Ministry of Commerce. You will not move to the left that is NOA National Orientation Agency. Since you've been coming to work there for about two years. You've been greeting all the security guards. The security guards already know you don't stop you from entering the building because like, oh,

that's our sister. I said I don't know how you do our business, blah, blah, blah. You entered the building and then you start doing your magic again. You know, somebody who works with maybe finance department in NOA National Attention Agency. You go there, you close you up with the person. I say, oh, I beg. Yeah, I'm here. It's my break time. You know, Christmas is coming now. I have some good deals on rice. Are you interested?

If she's interested, you know, you talk, you know, let me think about it, blah, blah, blah. OK, So who else can I talk to? Who do you think might be a good person here? She refers you to another person. And then that's how you start the runs all over again. And you now start trying to work your magic in NOA, National Orientation Agency. Now, if it takes you 2-3 months to work the whole building in National Attention Agency, you come out again.

And then you now move to the Right to NPC Population Commission, and then you try again. Now remember what I said on top of the episode. I am not advocating that our civil servants should go around selling rice and stuff like that, But I believe that they are ethical parameters within which we can allow people who work in the civil service to engage in the trade. Right now, the rules are that if you work in the civil service or in the government sector, the only business that you should do is farming.

I guess the reason why they say so is because farming, maybe you can do it one or one or two days a week or pay for a person to be on the farm, but it's not going to affect your work. But anyways, I'm not saying that people who work in the government sector, people working the civil service should be trance. I'm not trying to show you how you can do land and expand when you're trying to promote your business and you're trying to look for new customers.

Then she had one customer who was a really, really good customer, but then the customer got transferred to Port Harcourt. And of course I asked Phoenix, like, I hope you've been in touch with the guy. And she said yes. And I was like, oh, very good. Because the problem that we have, they had a lot of you, the mistake a lot of you make is this. You have a very correct customer, but then the customer Jackass, and you're like, oh,

she has moved to Canada. He has moved to Canada. Oh, well. And they never keep in touch again. Like you should be keeping in touch. You don't know what's up. You don't know what kind of opportunities you can leverage later on. So we should always be in touch with people. It's not just a matter of they're here with us, we see them, we're good friends, then they get promoted or they get transferred or they travel and then we lose touch.

So I told her, like, you've been calling to greet him. OK. Yeah, that's good. And I tried to figure out why he was, why he was buying from her, because it seemed for me like it probably was not something that the guy would be using himself and said, oh, no, it's mostly because he liked my husband. He was trying to support my business. And it's OK. Fantastic. So what that means is trying to get referral conversations with him.

That will be a lot easier, will be a matter of a boss. Everyone, thank you very much. While you were here, you really appreciated my business. In fact, we miss you now that you're gone. Thank you very much for the support. I beg now that you're gone, I'd still appreciate referrals, recommendations, you know, any way to that you can to continue to promote my household. So that kind of conversation, there'll be a whole lot easier because the main reason why the girl was patronizing anyway was just because like, oh, you're my younger sister.

I like the way you're doing this thing. I want to make sure that this business is moving. So it'll be a very easy conversation to have. So referrals, for those of you who are in this sort of space, you have stuff that you read, retailing referrals, something that you should, sorry, no, this Qatar. So something you should be trying to hook up as well. Then she also had questions around producing content and using WhatsApp because WhatsApp was a very big way for her to promote her business.

If I need to sit down with all these WhatsApp people and take classes with them and figure out how you use WhatsApp to be drumming or business because they're people who are making a killing on WhatsApp. So for her, social media equals 0 because WhatsApp and talking to people is where she's making all her money. So by the way, hope you guys see that this is a perfect example about how things are contextual. Some people say for XYZ kinds of businesses you must be on social media.

But I continue running to people who cannot even spell social media, but they're making a killing doing something else, like in this case, doing WhatsApp. So, yeah, so we had the conversation. I told her the same thing that I told the ladies at the Avon Innovation Hub, the session that we had on digital marketing for women. We just used Google Gemini. We freestyled, we roughed it. We came up with the content calendar on the spot.

And then she now had ideas for creating content. Now this is the beauty of a content calendar. What we came up with was 7 ideas for a week, 7 themes for the week. There was Monday motivation, there was tip Tuesday, there was something Wednesday, something Thursday, something Friday 7 days of the week. So sorry, one word. All right, so this is what I told her. If you take these seven ideas, are you able to get 33 ideas on by your head?

You go on freestyle and come with three ideas for each day. What you now have is 21 ideas. Remember Gemini gave us 7 ideas. Motivation Monday talk about these kind of things. Tip Tuesday talk about these sorts of things. Dash Wednesday, talk about these sorts of things. Dash Thursday, Dash Friday something, Saturday something Sunday talk about these sorts of things. So that's if you come up with three, three ideas each, that's 21 days.

I now asked her what's going to be comfortable for you? Me, I try and post every day but posting every day is hard so it's not for everybody. And she admitted a year for her if she does three times a week, she has tried so it's OK, no problem. So let's look at three times a week then she's OK good, she's comfortable three times a week. So I now told her that you see this 21 ideas that we have now if you're posting for only three days a week, that means you already have content now for seven weeks straight.

Hope you guys help me. Gemini gave some ideas, he gave 7 ideas and I told her you do some homework on these seven ideas that we have. Just add 22 extra ideas to what was given here. That will give you 21 days worth of content. But since for you posting every day will be work, but you know you can do three days because she's also studying for masters at posting for three days a week, you will now have seven weeks worth of content.

Meaning if you're posting January 1st, you have enough content that will now last you until February 14th. I'll be February 20 something. This is the benefit of a content calendar and that is why I keep talking about a content calendar. It makes your life easier. You wake up, you don't have to think about what to post. You just look at your content calendar and then you continue. And in her own case, you have a guide that will last you for seven weeks.

Imagine the freedom of not having to worry about what is it that am I going to post today? Because you know that for the next several weeks it is sorted. It has already been decided. That's why I keep talking about content calendar. I know it sounds kind of simple. That's how you guys don't take it seriously. But look, content calendar is the way to go. How do you think I've been able to do 990 something episodes so far?

It's precisely because I have some sort of a content calendar. I don't have to wake up and decide what is it, am I going to post today? Also, hold on, let me check the clock. I have a 10:00 meeting. Oh, OK, so 10 minutes to go. I can wrap this up quickly. So that's the reason why I've been able to do about 990 something episodes so far. In a couple of days, I hit 1000 episodes. It's because I have a content calendar tomorrow.

I don't have to think about what to post. All I have to do is wake up and open my diary. Oh, OK, that's the next thing. And then I record the episode and that's it. If I forget my diary, I also have a content calendar on my phone. I just open the note, I say, oh, OK, that's the next thing. And then I record and it's that simple. It'll be odd if it hasn't happened to me before, that I forget my diary and then I forget my phone.

So if I forget my phone, I forget my diary, then OK, I'm in trouble. Then there's no content for the day, but my book is with me. If my phone is with me, I'm good to go. There will be content that day. So please content calendar now for her. The only difference that I made was this. There's some there's some posts that she tries to that she puts up that supposed to where she puts call to action. You know, as in buy now 20%

discount get for your man because you know, there was an international, excuse me, I was international men's day or international Father's Day or something like that. I think maybe like 2-3 weeks ago. So those kinds of posts, buy now, say hi for 5% discount, don't leave your husband's out, get for your man, all those kinds of things. So I told her that with this content calendar she has come up with, she should not be sorry about that.

As a tractor driving by, we're not trust or tractor does mean truck anyway. So I was like, yes, so I told her not every single post should be buy now, say hi for 20% discount, buy before so so, so or get for your man. Not every single business post should have that kind of call to action. So I told her, how do we agree when they space it out? OK, we agree that we're going to do only one day a week, wear shoes where the message is going to be buy now.

But the rest of the posts should be something entertaining or something educating so that you remain top of mind with people. Because if Monday your posts are buy now. Tuesday your post is 20% discount. Wednesday your post is buy for your man. Don't leave less. Don't leave him left out. Thursday your post is buy from buy for your babe, your children, you know. Friday buy for your side trick. Sunday buy for yourself if that's all you put up bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

People start skipping you on WhatsApp as they're watching WhatsApp status. I prefer to say viewing WhatsApp status but puja people keep saying watching status and say oh boy you know the watch status and like look it is not ATV. We watch TV we don't watch WhatsApp status. You view the status wonder that's that's just me. So as your viewing status or as you're watching the status now you're the person who keeps saying bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,

bye, bye, bye. Once they see the first poster. Oh, is this person you just skip, skip, skip, skip, skip. Or at least for my wife, this way she just taps you tap left, I'll be you tap right, right, right, right, right, right. And then if you will just skip through everything. Now, some people who even know how to skip a person all together, so they'll start skipping you. So don't make all your messages. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

Those buy messages, you know, maybe once or twice a week. Every other thing, let it be educational, let it be infotainment or let it be something.
