The final trade for onematchstick is done! We have reached the goal of office space for a few startup entrepreneurs! Yeehaa! I had a possible trade with Ketha Innovations for the TV and projector for Allon, where they wanted the brick making machine, and after weeks of emails and zooms and negotiating with the suppliers of the machine, we just didn’t find a way to make the barter part of the trade work. It happens that way sometimes, with trading…
We have a deal! And so we are one step closer to finalising the last onematchstick trade for the office space to help some start-up entrepreneurs get their business off the ground! Here’s the overview of this part of the final trade: To summarise this deal A box of gear -> Telana for podcast consulting -> Brian for Sales Training -> Clear Design for a podium -> Allon for office space. And a reminder of the blinds part of this…
O no!! 😠After all those meetings and proposals and waiting… my trade for the brick making machine to go to Ketha Innovations, for the TV and Projector (which would go to Allon of Raizcorp for my final trade for the office space to help start-ups) is just not going to happen… Such a bummer! Ketha Innovations will still be able to get their brick making machine, but in this current economic climate, we just could not find a way…
Here is the list of 5 sales trainers who are willing to barter with me to help me get the podium. Let’s hope we get an answer soon
Do you know a Sales Expert? Someone who can deliver an exceptional, motivational talk to inspire a sales team? Please introduce me to them, as I need to find someone to trade with to finish my last onematchstick trade, to help start-ups. This will help me get the awesome “Forescolor Eco Podium” from Clear Design, that is part of my last trade. And Clear Design want to get their sales team all ready to ace 2024 next year, in exchange for…
Thank you for helping me as now we have a name for the podcast – the overwhelming majority of votes were for “Risk & Rise” over the name “Catch Courage”. So we need a logo now – some way to represent the podcast show that will be all about taking risks by overcoming our fear of failure or rejection, so that we can rise up to opportunities and make wonderful things happen! Below are a collection of just some rough…
With my final trade that is in progress with Allon, the blinds were installed this week Tuesday! Wynand and his team did a superb job, and were so precise and cleaned up the mess from the drilling. The roller blinds, in black blockout material, look awesome and it was so great to see the old mats that had been used to block some of the windows, being taken away to storage 🙂 I say a BIG THANK YOU to Wynand…
Earlier this week I met with Wynand of Blind Guys at Raizcorp to measure the windows for the blinds. We discussed that I could offer some of his franchisees some coaching in exchange for the blinds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Telana Simpson – Courage Coach (@telanasimpson) So today we swapped proposals, and sent our offer to Allon of Raizcorp, and now we wait to hear if we have a deal! Here’s the lowdown on my…
Networking helps! I put out a request for help within my network, and I got this great whatsapp back on the weekend: So we set up a Zoom and yesterday I got to virtually meet the team at Ketha Innovation: Cindy, Frans and Vuyo! What a trio 🙂 Not only do they get bartering, and are open to it, they also already have an idea of what they might trade for, if they offered me some TV’s and a projector…
My updated Wish List for my final trade I’m busy with some negotiations to try make my final trades happen, and in that process the Wishlist for the final trade with Allon has changed. Off that list comes carpets – as that fell through (see the story here.) And onto the list went a new item: A projector! So, to make my final trade happen, I need to find some people who will trade with me for the following items:…
