I was standing by the bus stop yesterday when I observed this “Aboki” (shoemaker) repairing a black high-heels shoe 👠

There was this gorgeous lady standing beside him 💃
She was wearing the left pair of the black high-heeled shoe and a normal bathroom slippers on her right foot

This led me to the conclusion that it was her shoe he was repairing....

For over 15mins I remained standing there because I couldn’t get a taxi that’s headed in my direction

As I stood there you won’t believe this…

I watched the shoemaker man mend her shoe for over 13mins, it didn't look like an easy procedure and I am sure he did a great job because the shoe looked superb

After he finished

The lady asked him “Aboki how much?”

He turned with a subtle look on his face

“anything wey you get madam” he replied

Anything?

The woman asked again to be sure

“how much na? oga talk quick ma dey go”

The shoemaker man finally responded saying

“Madam you know say you na my customer, so just bring anything I go collect am”

Omo… 😬

You don’t know what

I was just watching wonders

As the woman reached out to her small black purse 👜

She removed N100 and gave him

He looked at the N100 with a little discontent

With a low voice he said "thank you madam"

And collected the N100

In the taxi after I have left the bus stop

I remembered the scenario

In my mind I know the shoemaker man was expecting more 🤔

I just told myself “he got what he asked for”

This is how many entrepreneurs do

And leave lots of money on the table

They think people would pity them and

Pay them what they are worth

Here's what you should know...

Nobody will automatically figure out your worth oo

There’s a saying

“You get what you DEMAND not what you think you DESERVE ”

You have to show your worth by being specific in your pricing

I see many entrepreneurs making this mistake

Especially those who are rendering services

Copywriters, web designers, graphic designers, photographers and so on....

You shouldn’t make this mistake like this shoemaker man

When you are being asked how much is this

Or what is the price of your service

You shouldn’t feel confused 😬

Or sometimes call a very low prices

That is very dangerous to your business

Without being specific your client won’t know how much to pay you

Unless you want to be underpriced

To succeed in your business you have to learn to be specific

You also improve your business by improving your negotiation skill

Negotiation is a skill not a talent

People like specificity...

And specificity is clarity.

I'm sure you do.
