Sales Mastery with Miss Amran Abdi

On January 12th, a sales guide and training session was conducted by Miss Amran Abdi, an expert in school consultation and an entrepreneur. The training started with an introduction from the alumni team present and kicked off with a powerful quote: “Everything is Everything”, a business concept that emphasizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of a company. It’s like a harmonious orchestration where each department, decision, and action functions like musical notes contributing to the success and flow of the business.

 Sales Mastery Training

The main aim of this training session was to teach attendees how to sell anything to anyone. The training covered various aspects of business, including knowledge of the product, evaluation, the importance of a call to action, effective communication techniques, the power of listening, the impacts of telling a selling story, understanding client needs, aligning with the client’s objectives, and building trust and rapport. 

The attendees also learned the benefits of seeking feedback and the power of testimonials. Miss Amran offered our alumni an opportunity to work as sales agents for her new school consultation firm. She promised to continue educating them on business innovation and how to go about it. 

The session ended with two powerful quotes: “Innovate or die” – by constantly exploring new ideas, technologies, and processes, businesses can remain competitive, attract new customers, and retain existing ones. And “Some will, some won’t, so what next?” – the key is to focus on interested people and find ways to connect with them. It is important to understand that not everyone will be your target audience, but that doesn’t mean you should give up. Instead, you should keep looking for ways to reach those interested and find creative ways to engage with them.

The sales mastery was not just a training session but a transformative experience that left our alumni with a new perspective on the art of selling a business. We are continually ensuring that we equip our alumni with skills that will help them in their personal and professional journeys of transformation.

An Aspirational Journey to Legal Advocacy

Legal Advocacy

My name is Jennifer and I’m a 19-year-old with big dreams and a passion for helping others.  I have been a part of the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation since 2010 and I currently live with my aunt. In my free time, I love to read novels, play netball, and try out new recipes.

I’ve always had a deep desire to help others, so I want to pursue a career in law and criminology. I want to work on cases that are often ignored and gain more insight into solving puzzling cases. Being able to complete my high school education at Ruthimitu Girls High School last year was a great joy for me, and I am looking forward to joining a reputable University this year and starting my law course.

In my free time, I regularly visit the children’s home where I volunteer and help out. I also love attending the Saturday program and volunteering. My years in school have taught me valuable skills such as problem-solving, effective communication, and decision-making, which I intend to practice in my future career.

In a few years, I see myself as a respected figure in the community, working as a lawyer to help those in need. I strongly believe that my unwavering determination and kind heart will positively impact the lives of many. I am grateful to my sponsor and the NRCF fraternity for making it possible for me to get to these academic heights.

Transform a life today.

Fun, Talent, and Celebration at Ngong Road Children Foundation

Last Saturday at Ngong Road Children Foundation was nothing short of spectacular! The day kicked off with an energy-packed warm-up session of singing and dancing that left our souls buzzing. But that was just the beginning!

During the short break, high schoolers rejoined us for the end-of-term holiday, creating a vibrant atmosphere of mingling and interaction. Lunch was a hearty affair, with children enjoying good food and connecting with their mates. The day gained even more significance as we celebrated the birthday of one of our esteemed alumni, Elizabeth.

What made the day truly special was the initiation of rehearsals for our upcoming Annual General Meeting presentations. The music and drama club took center stage, working on a captivating choral piece that focused on discipline. With a new, professional, and kind trainer leading the way, the club formed a fantastic team, setting the tone for an exciting AGM.
