Ma’m I’d love to download this. I have recently started network marketing on my business and this is vital to explain why I prohibit inventory loading on my business by distributors.

My business is in a similar position, I am pushing for growth and I don't have a clear strategy to achieve it. Solitary confinement is curse entrepreneurs face. And I am glad that I stumbled upon this. What an eye opener for me. I have so much to ask, how I get in touch?

Fast growth almost took me out as well. Working capital problems. We were writing 100k monthly revenue but collecting it in small invoices of R600 , R1200 add an NGO project that paid once every three months. Needed to borrow cash to pay people when customers didn’t pay and had to write off a lot of debt .. 🥲 quite a lesson . Steady and structured growth.

Damn, I’m a case study 😂😂 This is actually quite dope, honestly. I hear what you’re saying, and you’ve raised some really valid points. I’ll make a video explaining in more detail what actually happened a little later on, because I feel like the full story provides a bit more context and clarity. That said, I can absolutely acknowledge that there are things I could have handled better. This is a really good discourse, and I genuinely appreciate the feedback, constructive criticism and the willingness to engage with the situation thoughtfully.

A clearly defined market penetration strategy is important, also his target market. I think he should have started with shisanyama’s, if his target market are Black people. And if his spices are well received by butcheries and other end users, and then he would add more flavours and those used in cooking.

One of the issues we forget is the cost of the sales, cost of client acquisition and also we want to scale informal businesses that do not have SOP and other processes in place, and also capacity within our businesses, and we cash will always be king I have also made the mistake of bulking up on stock that can actually seat for a while before being sold,and then be left without cash dor operations while money if locked in stock. I saw this young man's post a month again about getting into 1000 homes, I was excited for him and I had a few questions that what kind of 1000 clients is he targeting, how is he going to retain those clients, how much is his target audience willing to pay, and what exactly is the value, what is unique about the spices themselves or the process behind the spices that will slightly set the product apart that the target client will not care to buy their spices with groceries but keep buying his spices. I would love to sit down with this young man and get to understand what was his overall vision, goal and what was his plan. ♥️Thank you Lerato

This remind me of the fact that I want to grow my business but I find it to be too soon to do that while the business doesn't have the capacity to grow.
