Didnt Think Selling Makeup Was This Easy

Ladies and Gentlemen, its your boi...trying to make a living selling makeup

Okay so dont let your caption deceive you...lol, i'm really trying to console myself...lol
like anyone (thats your friend) will tell you, being a startup is not easy.
you have a thousand and one details to take care of,then you also need to keep your customer happy.

Really business is moving, i think, just that, Women,Women, kai...they want to negotiate to the barest minimum and on top everything they'll want to pay twice...lol
just imagine
You tell her the product is 1,500 yeah?, she beats it down to 950 then wants to pay twice.so even when she pays...she'll pay 900 and with a smily face tells you you cant leave 50 for her.
and shey you know i like fine fine girls...aaaarrrgggghhh...lol
I love my customers.

And una fit bad mouth...ah...lol, They'll be like this one is not good, its mary kay i use...even when they know mary kay isnt designed for the african skin...at the end of the day, they now want to use that reason to shortchange...
emi okin gba sha (i dont accept sha)...lol

Anyhoo,i'm at the teething stage right, so i cant give up now...lol
besides,i've had lots of people who do cash and carry,so i cant complain too much

A very important lesson when you're selling anything....do not touch your profit,till you sell all your stock...better still reinvest your profit into the business.

By the way, i stock Sleek cosmetics now o...

Then a few of my sister's friends also bought although they've not paid o.
