My fun week around the country

Its been a totally awesome week, i spent it with two amazing men (who are not my husbands...). I have learnt so much from them about how to build a strong Sales department for your company; and they didn't even know they were training me!

See, that's how i learn. I learn from conversation. Insight. Great stuff!

I learnt that the most important thing is to have people who are passionate about achieving goals in the company, people who are totally empowered to do great things, and they will take ownership of the business as though it were their own. Money is important, but so is self-gratification.

So, in summary, what i've learnt this week is that you must have a solid top-level sales team to be able to achieve your goals. People who believe in your dream and take ownership of it. Finish.

So let's go on to fun matters. I didn't really ride the motorbike in Tamale. I just sat on it and put one GOIL staff behind me as if i'm doing some serious stuff. But you and i know that i'm too chicken to do anything that is really dangerous. I really want to see Judah get married, so what do you say about that? God knows i don't want to end up being buried next-day somewhere in the North.. so let's just leave it here.

I went to Kumasi by Starbow. Goodness gracious. If it wasn't for the fact that Starbow was such as solid plane and had really nice waitresses, (i don't really care); i'd have asked what the hell are those snack packs in rubber bags? In this day and age? Are we in the same age? Lord have mercy!!!!

So coming back, i had to take Citylink because i wanted to be early. you can image my surprise when it was announced that my very own Capt. Kilo Alpha Victor Amoah is going to take me to Accra. I'm like cool! Now i get to test what he's all about when he is trying to give flight lessons to Electronic payments business owners (WT*). Okay, honk on, my darling...

So midway into the flight, Captain StaySweet decides to do a double-drop of the plane without notice. Oh yes, i screamed. I screamed. Everyone looked, but i screamed. Aden?!!!! Ok, so if i'm writing this, it means i landed safely. We thank God, but don't care, right? Moving on...



 
Takoradi was fun! Wow. I had some gargantuan fufu courtesy Steve Amakye who has been bugging me to come to Takoradi for 'business'. Okay. Moving on...




 
Antrak Air back was smooth. Even they served mini-pringles and coke on the flight. Please tell Starbow wai. Pringles only costs GHc1.20 at Efo's shop! I can supply if they like...heheheeee!!! I was back in Accra in a jiffy. It was cool. Antrak, kudos!




Then Tamale! My beloved Tamale! Awesome Tamale! First off, i got to ride with Oluman Boogie FBS guys. It was awesome from airport to line...


So i got to see some amazing stuff in Tamale. I got to see the awesome Tamale Sports Stadium... Kudos, NPP for great work. The roads there are great! I don't think our people there are deprived at all. My personal opinion. The infrastructure there is certainly good and they can do quite a lot of stuff there. Anyways, so one thing that was predominant were these motorbikes, which got me really awed especially when i saw women riding them! Wow...I got these shots of a whole family on a bike!

there was also biometric registration going on. i was praying it wasn't something else but at least things are moving on smoothly there too. We thank God.





 Anyway, i got to ride back again with FBS. We were too tired to take pictures again. At least you know that i know them *winkwink....lol.

Until we meet again, its been a fun, wonderful week. Especially with my sweetie pie Raphael of Vodafone.

Have a wonderful week!!!
