It ranks among businesses that survive through the advancement of telecommunication in Nigeria.This is because the world is advancing in technology. New phones keep coming and that gives people the opportunity to use and sell.

Where To Buy From

This is the most critical aspect of buying. The readily available sources of purchase don't sell with much discount. Most people who are successful in this line of business have sources overseas, that helps them to get it cheap and make it affordable. Therefore, the source of supply is one of those things you need to consider before you start.

Your Customer  

The success of every business like this depends on customer relationship. Your customer's satisfaction therefore should be your priority. The price, the quality, the smile on your face will make it happen. The best advert isn't that seen on TV, but testimony based on experience. A well treated customer begets adverts.

Phones, like every other device is problem prone. Even new ones aren't exempted. When your customers bring reports of problems, check it out and fix it. One lost customer makes a hole on your road to success.

It's apparent that used phones don't come with accessories. So sell them as well. It will make it easy for your customers, saving them the time to go about looking for accessories for their phones. It also will help your financial well being.

Save And Proceed

The more money you make the more thoughts of expansion you should entertain. Your growth wouldn't come if you remain where you started. Look for other strategic locations, employ reliable sales reps, run media ads if you have to. Always think of how you can make progress.
