Okay, madam, if it's like that, you should be looking at this grade of timber with this kind of grain and this kind of, uh, you know, whatever, whatever." That's how you narrow it down, and then you don't get lost to this whole thing of, uh, uh, this kind of timber.
Taveshimma AyedeHOST
Somebody said they will give it to me at fifteen thousand per square meter or however it is you guys sell your timber.
Taveshimma AyedeHOST
You know, why is your own eighteen thousand per square meter? It's when you narrow it down like that, that you can focus this conversation directly on, "Look, madam, this is exactly what you need.
Taveshimma AyedeHOST
I've been doing this business for the last twenty-five years.
Taveshimma AyedeHOST
Even if you don't buy from me, if you go to anybody, madam, you start the conversation on this kind of timber because it will be the best for your house, for your construction.
Taveshimma AyedeHOST
Madam, you say it is, uh, it's duplex you're building, abi? And it's Ile-Ife you're building, abi? Madam, this is the timber for you." You have a very focused conversation.
