The Show Going On in India, DJ Black Coffee's Marathon Playing, And 'On The FGM Ts Sales Front - Part 7.

* The Commonwealth Games in Delhi(India) going ahead today.They are starting inspite of the tons of negative publicity the host nation received vis-a-vis its readinesss to host these games.There were complaints about the unfinished athletes village.There were also concerns about security in India.It was said that the participating athletes may become targets for terror groups.Because of this latter concern some individual athletes went as far as withdrawing from the games.
That the games will be starting as scheduled today is a testament to the Indian government's best efforts to get its act together around the games' organization.'Big up' too,to the various athletic associations of the the Commonwealth countries for showing their support for the games by pitching up despite the concerns.
The chance to host such games doesn't come often,therefore the people of India need all our support.


* DJ Black Coffee making Mzansi proud last Sunday.He attempted to set a new World Record for non-stop dj-ing.He played for a solid 60 hours non-stop at the Moponya Mall last week.He started playing his set from Thursday(23/9/10) midnight and went all the way to Sunday(26/9/10).In terms of the rules he was allowed some small breaks(20 minutes) after every 4 hours of continuous playing.
All of this playing was for a charitable cause.He was raising funds for his newly launched DJ Black Coffee Foundation,which is going to focus on helping disabled people.
We would like to congratulate Nkosinathi Maphumulo(Black Coffee's real name) for this fine achievement.The people from Guiness must still officially pronounce on this World Record,but we have no doubt that it is just a matter of time before they to do so.
With this feat DJ Black Coffee has thrown the gauntlet to all of us South Africans.What other World Record can we have a go at?


* ON THE FGM Ts SALES FRONT - PART 7

So which is better,active selling or passive selling?
By active selling I mean an instance where you actualy ask people - by addressing them - to buy your products.Passive selling,on the other hand,is when you have a stand displaying your wares and are hoping that the passing traffic will buy from you.
In my short experience of selling FGM Ts on the streets I believe that with active selling one is able to move more products.Having said that,with this type of selling you do get more 'in your face' rejections.So one has to have a thick skin.Personally,I will take active selling any day over passive selling.What I have learned is that when you ask people to buy from you they may not necessarily do so there and then,but they will tell you when to come.With passive selling,creating a lead is not in your hands.You rely on the prospect deciding to stop by to inquire.

After that postulation I am sure I am expected to say that I sold hundreds of FGM Ts this week.Eh!...not exactly.In due course I will.But this week being blown away by the way a customer(Bra Sam) placed his faith in me.When it occured that I didn't have the FGM t-shirt in his prefered size and colour,he decided to give me the money all the same,saying that I can bring the t-shirt when my new stock arrives.I was speechless,and really grateful.This was the first time that such a thing has happened to me in my t-shirt selling life.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:

This Show
__________

This show in India,
This show in Delhi,
Must go on.
Unfinished villages,
Or not.
Security fears,
Or not.
This show,
That is the Commonwealth Games,
Has to go on.
The naysayers will say their bit.
They said it with South Africa.
But this show,
This show in Mahatma's country,
Should,must,and will go on.
Uppish athletes,or not.
