A few weeks after the launch of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), a friend decided to take a business trip to the Coast with his team using the state-of-the-art Madaraka Express. From the beautiful scenery to the wildlife, everything was enjoyable for Fred and his team.
The hospitality of the SGR staff and the comfort of the couches was simply not comparable to the long bus rides on bumpy roads that Kenyans have been used to.
Halfway into the journey, a call came through of an urgent business deal that had to be attended to.
In the middle of the journey with no internet connection apart from their phones, Fred and his team were stuck.
Failing to attend to the situation would see them lose a business deal they had followed for seven months and which they were on the verge of winning.
Out of panic, one member suggested that they should alight at the next station and hurry to the nearest cyber. However, being new, the team could not be sure of getting a cyber cafe with reliable internet connection on time.
Emily, a lady seated nearby, saw the panic and frantic consultations going on between Fred and his colleagues and enquired what was going on.
Apparently, she had heard the team mention "internet, business and cyber" and had a slight idea of what the conversation was about.
It was a relief to the team when the lady offered to help them out by sharing her Safaricom Easy Data Bundles with them.
The team hurriedly set up their laptops and created a hotspot using a wireless router. At last, the moment came and the team was engrossed in negotiating a deal, outlining various aspects of the business and assuring the investor why he needed to invest in the business.
The joy in the team could not be hidden when at last, the investor invited them to go sign the deal upon their return to Nairobi.
From her experience in business, Emily shared a few tips with Fred and his team to ensure that they do not miss out on any deal in future.
