Discussion iPhone sellers in Gaborone

6 Upvotes

So far i only know shops to avoid: Smart Tech, Gadget Hub and Prestige Electronics (all at riverwalk).. then Milestone Unique or something at Mainmall.. they sell overpriced apple certified refurbished… i mean just bcoz its “certified” by apple doesnt mean its worth 5x above its market value 🙄🙄
Whats you guys’ experience with Sebele Mobiles?
Where can i find a brand new 15 pro max?

Discussion Why we men are afraid of going to the hospital?

I noticed that me as guy, and men around me have this fear of going a hospital, is it the environment? What's it about? Everytime I think of going to the hospital I just feel I'd rather not go.

Question move to Gaborone or start my nail business in Francistown first?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys I have been contemplating on where i should start doing my business, I have the options between Gaborone and Ftown I have been living in Francistown for a while and noticed that a lot of nail techs have move to gabs and I’ve also realized there aren’t many in ftown as much as Gaborone but I do want to live Gaborone long term , the only cons is i will be living in extension 2 and the nail industr is quite saturated there and in Gaborone in general so i don’t know how to decide

Another thing to note is that in Francistown I will not have to spend as much on rent ,food etc but in Gaborone I will have to contribute rent within the city and also food transportation etc

I will be doing business at home,Gaborone honestly I don’t really have a great set up it will be at home you can see my bed etc I’m thinking of trying to cover that part by dividing with a curtain and that might cost a bit together with painting because the walls are messed up but in Francistown we have a private outdoor space thing I don’t know what it’s called but it’s shaded and I believe the customer will be comfortable

What would you do in my situation? Would you start in Ftown, build your clientele and save, then move to Gabs, or take the risk and start in Gabs from the beginning? I’d appreciate your honest opinions!

Discussion The problem with sending applications by email...

3 Upvotes

...is the silence.

Your email gets pushed down into e-mail inbox with time
HR doesn't respond to say they acknowledge your cv submission and consider you if at all there's an opening.

So but hand applications, I'm nervous. Wondering if it's worth the try.

Please share your experience or takes on this.

Big plus if you're a recruiter or work in HR.

Question Marketing partner wanted Botswana SaaS for local shops

3 Upvotes

Building myrewardflow - a simple promotions/coupon tool for local businesses in Botswana.

Product is live. Marketing is the hard part for me, and I want to work with someone who is strong at it — especially reaching small local businesses.

I’m not looking for free labour. A new product means commission-only can be unfair at the start, so I’m open to a proper arrangement, for example:

• a clear trial period with agreed terms

• commission / revenue share when shops start paying

• if it becomes a real long-term partnership, room to discuss ownership

I know people here are careful about new things, and that’s fair. I don’t want anyone to feel used. I’d rather agree something clear upfront than make big promises.

If you market to small businesses in Botswana and this sounds interesting, comment or DM and we can talk through how it could work.

Question About renting office space.

1 Upvotes

ive never rented office space before, so maybe im ignorant of procedures, but apparently if i rent an office space in Gabs, and that office space has faulty electricity sockets and broken windows and door hinges , i have to pay out my own pocket to fix those? apparently theyre called "consumable costs" .

can someone clarify this to me coz i dont see sense in paying to fix stuff i found broken, and nowhere in the agreement lease is this mentioned...aa ke jewa ntsoma
