One day he saw a job advertisement on the local “Gazette” titled “Office Boy Wanted”. The young man woke up as early as 5am, shined his shoes, ironed his shirt and wore his favourite suit. He quickly ran to catch the combies to apply for the position of "office boy" at a very big company "The World Wide Group of Gurus". Sir, tlhe mona hook me up on a job I got ''Bsc hons in E-Commerce''. The employer interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor. “Congratulations, You are hired, hahaha” – the employer said. “One more question though. What experience have you got and can you 18 give me your profile”. The man replied, “I don’t have any experience, neither do I have profile. I'm a fresh graduate, with innovative ideas”. “I’m sorry,” said the employer, “if you don’t have any experience ,you cannot have the job.” The young man left with no hope. He didn’t know what to do, with only P 900 in his pocket. He then decided to go to SEED CO, and bought sachets of maize (midi), water melon, morogo, tomatoes and beans which he sow in his backyard garden. When harvest time had a approached, he then started selling his fruits & vegetables door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded and doubled his capital. He repeated the operation 3 times and returned home with P 3000. The young man realized that he could survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and returned late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the young man’s company was one of the biggest food retailers. He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his experience. The young man replied: “I don’t have any experience.” The broker replied curiously, “You don’t have any experience, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what position you could have if you had experience?” The young man paused for a while, and replied: “An office boy!” Don’t be discouraged if something is not in your favor today. 19 Better opportunities are always waiting ahead.

Many of the other children at school wore similar shoes. These shoes were called “grasshoppers” and Kgosi wanted to get grasshoppers too. One day at home he asked his mother for new school shoes, but his mother told him grasshopper shoes where very expensive for a school kid and that he could buy himself once he got a job. But Mom, all the other children have grasshoppers at school, so their mothers think its ok ”. A few days later, Kgosi was seen at school wearing a pair of grasshopper shoes. "But, all others have it..." What can this teach marketers about how to promote and advertise products and service? Marketers do not always sell the product by selling the product. Rather, they can sell the product by simply selling the idea that everyone else is buying it.

He owned many mines for miles and miles to the end of the country. The company dag the finest and best diamonds to be sold in the market, also accepted in foreign markets. Three young investors visited Botswana. All of the three man noticed that huge profits existed here and that there where few coal mines. The first young man had readily available capital, bought the necessary equipment and started operations right off. Not long after, the second applied for a CEDA loan and began later. With arrival of the second the first got jealous and agitated, he claimed that he was first and that the land was too small to accommodate both, so the diamonds belonged to him. They spent much time fighting. One day after a long quarrel, the two found the third young investor next to a stall with a sign written “The Only Coal for Sale in Town, last chance! High Demand at Power Stations” Moral of the Parable of the Niche Market it is better to be first than better ● Capture what you can than to fight over what you might not get. 29 ● ● ● Do not always strive for the largest market; strive for the market that you can dominate.
