One of my favourite childhood memories was found in selling to people 😂

I have been selling since I was 7.

I hawked tomatoes and peppers along the streets of Benin, and there's one thing I usually do to get my way.

It is leveraging Urgency and Scarcity.

Selling door-to-door can be fun but it is not an easy task.

And of one the things I hate as a young marketer is customers telling me “No" or “Postponing what they are supposed to do today to tomorrow"

I don't like those two words.

"Omo Yoruba, we still get Stew for house, till tomorrow.”

I was wondering why the stew hasn't finished.

Like why are they eating it small small 😂?

Those words usually get to me on bad days when I have to trek and trek, shout and shout for customers to know I'm around, but no sales.

So whenever I encounter such objections again. It is either they buy or they buy more because I will handle those objections with confidence and constant pressure.

And this has helped me make more sales as a hawker.

Customer: Omo Yoruba, I still get Stew for the house; I no go buy today, come tomorrow.

Me: Iye(mama) I no go come tomorrow because this one na the last market wey we get for house and I never know when my mummy(granny) will go market because tomatoes don cost oo.

Customer: My pikin, Oya, packs N300 tomatoes and peppers for me. Osato, Collect those tomatoes from Omo Yoruba. Make you go watch and steam am, then put them in the fridge.

Me: Thank you, ma'am.

I have successfully closed many such deals.

Then I follow the motto” No gree for anybody" 😂🤣

Hope you learn something new 😃
