A day in the life of Retail Distributor.
DAY 1
7:30: Sited kwa ndai already, first thing - a word of Prayer; you gotta mention three vital things - "Safe journey, Great Sales & zero ku cross'ian na gava".
Proceed ku'call two friends, doing same gig kujua routes wako ndio u start planning out your routes for the next 7 if not 14 days. Pick kitabu ya order, with ka excel for fast balancing na ile capital iko.
Mahesabu ikiwa fiti call importers na wasee wa warehouse to place the orders, halafu sasa call one very important guy; Trolley Guy. Yeye ndio ako responsible ku collect all the items by the time uko CBD ashazipack, otherwise day inaeza anza mbaya sana if there is any inconvenience.
9:30: Unaingia chaos; CBD. Road rage ukuwa nayo lazima and its a skill uta acquire with time. Juu jam throughout, pedestrian, nduthi guys then wenye ku create lanes from no where; wasee wa Mat. All this una balance ku make calls na Trolley guy and make sure gava haijakuona on call while driving. Amidst hii chaos uko na split seconds za ku saka place uta park ndai. Three option, Enda Ngara pea m'youth u'Own hizo parking soo, lipa kanju kwa phone, ama msee wa petrol ka finje akuruhusu ku load kwa station (best alternative kama trolley guy ako punctual).
10:30: Beating CBD jam uko sasa Jogoo Road -> Outer Ring -> Mombasa Road. Vuala!! out of chaos with lots of headaches. Destination ni warehouse; Community Road.
11:30: Hapa usha jijengea jina wanaruhusu uingie na ndai hadi loading bay. Kuna hadi loaders wata offload kila kitu wa kupangie products in more professional way. Hii ndio time fiti ya ku verify products from invoices. Kutumia msee wa Trolley kakitu and kumthank, incase kuna item missing follow up na importers for confirmation immediately.
12:30: KFC 😋 Athi River. Pick your favorites delicacies juu the next 7 if not 14 Days you will be off Nairobi takeaways. Anza biz ka umeshiba mseya.
Essentially Day 1 ukuwa ni chaotic day. Stick around for the experience of the next 14 Days.
