"Sacked From The Bank, But Now An Investor With Banks" Mrs Oluchi Abraham






 "After all, all the world cares about is you make of the challenges in which you find yourself". These were my exact thoughts when I first learnt of the ordinary woman who climbed the corporate ladder in the banking sector, got her dream dashed. And went a heard to create a better dream, which she is now living in, with her family.

And she says, "You too can live your dreams".


This is a story of a woman was transfigured from an employee sacked from a bank, to the investor banks are low lobbying to have her patronise them.


Mrs Oluchi Abraham had graduated from a university and landed a choice job, as a banker. A job she loved and had worked passionately at for over 15yrs.

Through the years, working in one of the most famous banks in Nigeria, United Bank for Africa (UBA), she rose to become a branch manager at one of the branches in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom state.

Then, one day, tragedy struck. In the most shocking and heartbreaking fashion.

Walking up to her desk on a bright and hopeful day, she discovered that she could not log into her portal. Her password had been retrieved. Upon inquiring, she had lost her job with the bank.



Devastated and clueless; where does she go from here? That was her only source of income. As a manager, who would've thought that her job was not secured?


She had tried to redeem herself financially by taking up small businesses, until she came across the business called Network Marketing.


Exploring the world of Network Marketing with the popular Forever Living products for a few years and giving too little to show for it, she was invited over by a friend to look at a new company; a Chinese company that was seeking to plant its roots in Africa, LONGRICH BIOSCIENCE INTERNATIONAL.



Judging by her experience with Forever Living Products, she was understandably sceptical about continuing with another company, a new company.

She had requested more time to consider the offer from this her good friend, who was a former colleague. While she thought through the offer, she had directed her friend to meet her younger brother, Obinna, in hopes that he will critically analyse the business offer and, if convinced about it, he would be her first team member (downline).


However, there was a little twist of fate as Obinna was more impressed than his elder sister, Oluchi imagined as he instantly signed up into the business the moment he was told about it. Leaving Oluchi, who was the first to be told of the business, coming under Obinna later, against Oluchi's original plan.


That not discouraging her, she took over her business with great belief and passion, building and impacting.

Although she had started slowly in a bid to thread with caution, but everything changed when on one fateful Thursday, she earned a commission is over a hundred and eight thousand naira.

That did it for her, and she went all out.

8yrs down the line, she became the second black person to reach the topmost rank in Longrich, together with her compatriot, Dr (Mrs) Ejimagwa.

By her account, she now has accumulated so much wealth that she does not need to go to the bank anymore

"I don't go to the bank. The banks come to me", as she had popularly put it.






Today, she is not just celebrated globally, but notable banks with their branches in the city of Uyo make it a duty to send her gifts (like Christmas goats, cakes, cards, etc) and congratulatory messages, with top bank officials accompanying them to celebrate with her even without her inviting them. Most recent is on her celebration of attaining the topmost rank of Longrich, where Access Bank, Zenith Bank, GTbank, were amongst the well known financial establishment who sent delegates and congratulatory cars and cakes to her mansion.

This truly is a story of from Sack to Sought after.


For more details of the story as written by herself, get a copy of her book, "You too can live your dreams".


Mrs Oluchi Uzomah Abraham is the second Black 5-Star Director with Longrich Bioscience international.

She is married to Mr Mfon Abraham, and blessed with kids.

"I will rather borrow than save up to start a business" -DODTheory

  "Save up or borrow to start a business?" You'll see my personal take... Let's assume there are two young friends who want to do business. Amara and Chioma. Maybe they both wish to start retailing beauty soap. They both go to the wholesaler to get 100pcs of the product to start, each costing ₦50. Totalling ₦5,000. Amara calculated the cost of transportation and other expenses incurred and arrives at a retail price of ₦80 per piece. Targeting a gain of ₦3,000 to cover transportation, and other things including take home. This may take Amara a month to achieve before she would have to restock. Chioma, on the other hand, sells her at ₦52 per piece. In that case, reaching more people because they know it's one of the cheapest rates they can get. In a week, she has effectively sold everything and made a gain of only ₦200. She goes back for restocking and gets more, maybe about 120pcs this time. She sells to maybe 90 of her old customers of last week and 30 new c...

The Difference between Direct Selling and Network Marketing

Image
  Network Marketing and Direct Sales have frequently been mistaken to mean the same thing. In fact, they have more similarities than differences. But it is worthy of note that there is a very vital difference between the two systems of products movement. Most people have erroneously believed that it's just a matter of point of views; if you're looking at the mode of sales of produces, it is called 'direct sales', where as if you're looking at the structure of the business model, you call it network marketing because it is a network. This is not true, as investigation has shown that the difference between both business schemes is more than just point of views. Let's go straight up to the differences, since we probably know the similarities. In this post, I will be talking about the three most obvious differences: 1. PRODUCTS .
