💡 SME TIP: YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE YOUR BUSINESS

Prof. XN Iraki, Professor, University of Nairobi, Faculty of Business & Management Sciences, shares a powerful reminder for entrepreneurs: “Money is made from people.”

Profit may be the goal, but your customers are where that profit comes from. As an SME, don’t focus only on making sales, understand the people buying from you, listen to their needs, solve their problems and give them a reason to return.
