A certain young man had undergone long term studies and had earned a
degree, but was never the less unemployed and desperate for a job. One
day he saw a job advertisement on the local “Gazette” titled “Office Boy
Wanted”.
The young man woke up as early as 5am,
shined his shoes, ironed his shirt and wore his
favourite suit.
He quickly ran to catch the combies to apply
for the position of "office boy" at a very big
company "The World Wide Group of Gurus".
Sir, tlhe mona hook me up on a job I got ''Bsc hons in E-Commerce''. The
employer interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor. “Congratulations,
You are hired, hahaha” – the employer said.
“One more question though. What experience have you got and can you
8
give me your profile”.
The man replied, “I don’t have any
experience, neither do I have profile. I'm
a fresh graduate, with innovative ideas”.
“I’m sorry,” said the employer, “if you
don’t have any experience ,you cannot
have the job.”
The young man left with no hope. He didn’t know what to do, with only P
900 in his pocket. He then decided to go to SEED CO, and bought sachets
of maize (midi), water melon, morogo, tomatoes and beans which he sow
in his backyard garden.
When harvest time had a approached, he then started selling his fruits &
vegetables door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded and
doubled his capital.
He repeated the operation 3 times and returned home with P 3000. The
young man realized that he could survive by this way, and started to go
everyday earlier, and returned late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled
everyday. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had
his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
Five years later, the young man’s company was one of the biggest food
retailers. He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life
insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his
experience.
The young man replied: “I don’t have any experience.” The broker
replied curiously, “You don’t have any experience, and yet have
succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what position you could
have if you had experience?” The young man paused for a while, and
replied: “An office boy!”
Don’t be discouraged if something is not in your favor today.

His Excellency’s recent visit to the Middle East to promote diamond sales & tourism in
Botswana turned out to be a story of public interest. On His Excellency’s return, honorable
Minister asks "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs?"
His Excellency’s explained "When I got to the Middle East , I was very confident that I would
make a good sales pitch as Botswana is virtually unknown there.
But, I had a problem I didn't know to speak Arabic. So, I planned
to convey the message through a three frame story board ...
First frame : A woman is painfully crying and wiping tears of her
face with tissue
Second frame: The womans fiancé proposes to the woman with
a big diamond ring
Third frame: The woman is smiling, showing body language of
delight
"Then that should have worked, you
must have nailed them!" said the
Minister.
"Damn right I should have! said His
Excellency. "I didn't realize that
Arabs read from right to left!"

That's Advertising.
You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You
go up to her and get her telephone

"Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me."
That's Telemarketing.
You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you
walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after
she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm very rich. Will you marry
me?"
That's Public Relations.
You are on Facebook, and you see a gorgeous girl.
You immediately send her a friend request and
post her a message Reading "I am very rich. Marry
me!"
That's social media marketing
You're at a party and see a

That's Brand Recognition.
You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to

Kgosi was only starting his form one the proceeding year at CJSS. Many of the other
children at school wore similar shoes. These shoes were called “grasshoppers” and
Kgosi wanted to get grasshoppers too.
One day at home he asked his mother for new school shoes, but his mother told him
grasshopper shoes where very expensive for a school kid and that he could buy
himself
once he got a job. But Mom, all the other children have grasshoppers at
school, so their mothers think its ok ”.
A few days later, Kgosi was seen at school wearing a pair of grasshopper
shoes.
"But, all
others
have
it..."
What can this teach marketers about how to promote and advertise products and
service?
Marketers do not always sell the product by selling the product.
Rather, they can sell the product by simply selling the idea that
everyone else is buying it.
Phrases like "WHO ELSE WANTS TO LOOK LIKE A MOVIE STAR?” and
“THOUSANDS NOW PLAY WHO NEVER THOUGHT THEY COULD” can be very

persuasive. Follow this article online

In a small country “Botswana” there was a wealthy businessman of a very big
Diamond company “Black Diamond Makers”; a billion dollar industry. He owned
many mines for miles and miles to the end of the country. The company dag the
finest and best diamonds to be sold in the market, also accepted in foreign markets.
Three young investors visited Botswana. All of the three man noticed that huge
profits existed here and that there where few coal mines. The first young man had
readily available capital, bought the necessary equipment and started operations
right off. Not long after, the second applied for a CEDA loan and began later. With
arrival of the second the first got jealous and agitated, he claimed that he was first
and that the land was too small to accommodate both, so the diamonds belonged to
him. They spent much time fighting.
One day after a long quarrel, the two found the third young investor next to a stall
with a sign written “The Only Coal for Sale in Town, last chance! High Demand at
Power Stations”
Moral of the Parable of the Niche Market it is better to be first than better
