Serious Attempts by the Government to end the Public Servant's Strike, Pitso Mosimane's First Win, And 'On the FGM Ts Sales Front - Part 4'.

* Efforts from the government side to now quickly get to the bottom of the issues that have kept public servants(including teachers) away from work for almost three weeks.President Jacob Zuma weighed in himself this week.He instructed the relevant ministers to go back to the negotiating table.This after the talks between the government and the public servants had reached a stalemate over the two key issues of a salary increase offer by the government of 7% and a housing allowance of R800,while the unions demand 8.6% and R1000 respectively.
It is commendable that the government is trying to end this industrial dispute with some urgency.The strike has gone on for far too long.Its effects are there for all to see.Patients have died in some hospitals due to lack of care.While students - the matriculants in particular - have lost valuable study time.


* The new Bafana Bafana coach - Pitso Mosimane - getting a confidence boosting win in his first competitive game in charge.Bafana Bafana defeated Niger 2-0 on Wednesday in their 1st game of trying to qualify for the AFCON 2012 tournament.
This was actually Mosimane's second win as Bafana coach.But the game with Ghana's Black Stars,where they won 1-0, was a friendly.
There can't be a more satisfying feeling than starting one's job on a good and positive footing.Here is hoping for more of the same from ntate Mosimane le bashemane ba hae.


* ON THE FGM Ts SALES FRONT - PART 4

After being on the road for the past three weeks and not making much headway as far as selling any Ts was concerned,this week I decided not to venture out.I decided to stick to my 'kasi' - Protea North - and do my prospecting here.

I suppose I had developed some form of fatigue from all the 'nos' from 'strangers'.It was a rejection phobia of sorts.For now I was going to focus only on people that I was familiar with.

In my 'kasi' I simply walked up and down the township,knowing that somehow I am bound to 'bump' into quite a number of people I knew.These I was going to try and press FGM Ts on.

And indeed I did meet a few familiar faces in my 'walk about'.I had to be careful though becuase some I didn't know that well.I didn't want to be seen to be now becoming friendly because I want them to buy something from me.
In one of my 'small talk before pitching' encounters I got definite lead.As I parted company with this particular gentleman I said,"So ntate,wena when are you taking your FGM t-shirt?".He replied,"Even now I can take it".Just like that.I nearly fell off my chair.In all my really serious prospecting of the past three weeks I had never managed to sell anything,now here I was - with a slightly more casual approach - about to make a sale in a while.It was a wonderful situation to be in.

Unfortunately I did not have his prefered colour(navy blue) and size(XL).I had run out of these.I duly noted this lead down and promised him to deliver the T in due course.But what a pleasure it was to know that I came this close to making a sale.
