How to Start a Laptop Sales Business

Written by Uchenna Nwite - During the last 60 years, the use and making of computers has grown from something of a novelty into a multibillion dollars industry. fifty five years ago, there were only about 100 computers in the world. I could remember, in the 90s when in Nigeria,
having a computer then was such a sight seeing and very few knows how operate it. 

Talking about the first set/types of the computers we had (the desktops) those who sold them were envied and looked upon with such respect. Suddenly the computer that everyone then yearned to have became obsolete. Because technology learned to make life easier through the birth of laptops.

One could no longer need to get home or to the office to do what he wants to do with a computer. After all' it's a computer age, everyone needs it, and that means the world will ever need computers. Today, virtually everyone needs computer, either for business, education, or for fun. In the quest to belong to the to have your own computer and belong to the advance world of technology, there is always a question of "where do I buy a good computer?" Especially in a developing country like ours and if you provide answer to the question, you are rich. 

You may think you needs all the money he can lay your hands on, to get to establish a radiant office (for attraction) and, run the best TV or radio ads  to sell laptops. That impression is wrong, even the most advertised offices don't always give people what they want. But you can, there is only a question of' "from what source?" You should know that the success of everything you do depends on how much you know about it. 

So the first step you take is; getting to know your way around a laptop. This goes beyond the normal use of laptop that the average person on the street can do. Deepening your knowledge about computer will not only upgrade you personally, but will also enable you to determine when a laptop is good or bad. 

The second step is; finding a reliable source of supply. This will enable you not buy laptops that had been worked on, or have some missing features. 

The third step you should take is; making sure that the price is affordable. This will help you to win the interest of potential buyers. 

While the first step is solitary, the latter two work harmoniously. Remember, the most trustworthy ad is not that seen on TV or heard on radio. It's recommendation based on practical experience. So how well you treat your customers and how well you provide the solution answers to the "where do I buy a good computer" question results in how many more people you bring back to your business. 

One thing that will help you do this is honesty, always state the condition of the laptop (no word saved) especially when it's a fairly used (Tokunbo). if it's a new one, make sure that the warranty arrangement is in place. If you thoroughly work yourself through this process you are ready to begin. But there is yet another question of; how do I begin? The capital intensive status of the business is undeniable, but that does not mean there is no room for low capital people. 

Here, the saying "cut your coat according to your size" applies, if you do not have what it takes to get a befitting office, start with the people around you. Tell your friends about your new venture, prove true to them. you can use online marketing, that will help you to reach as many people as possible. But one thing you should not loiter at is "focus" know where you are going. 

Be diligent, set targets for yourself; and do not be discouraged when it is not met. Remember it is the first steps of your journey of a thousand miles. And that is  one of the reasons why you should not sell on credit no matter who it may be. If a buyer wants to pay install-mentally, keep the computer with you and let go when he pays up. what if you have the financial respect for an office? Then the chances will better. But you need to keep an eye out for something. 

A lot of businesses liquidate in a short-while due to their locations. So look for a place that could easily be accessed by people even if you have to pay more. Pay attention to the demands of the people who patronize you, and build enduring customer relationship based on that. Set your own standards. 

Do not try to copy what others have laid down a long time. If you follow these practical steps, in a very short while people will be looking for you for the very reason that you looked for them.
