Episode Transcript:

Hi, everyone. I hope you are having a great day. Thank you for giving me your time. I am Sabine Taylor, the host of "Selling with Sabine," and today I’m super excited to talk to you about a young man who goes by the name of iShowSpeed.

About two weeks ago, he announced an Africa tour where, for twenty-eight days, he will be visiting twenty countries. He’s going to places like Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

I hope I have people from Africa tuning in because if he is about to come to your country, I hope small business owners are getting ready for a potential highlight by iShowSpeed. The last time I checked TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, he had about forty-five million to almost fifty million subscribers.

So, what does that mean to you? It means that he could potentially come to your restaurant with a whole film crew. If you’re a dancer, maybe he can come do a little dance skit with you. If I were a business, I would get my sales pitch ready. I would be able, on the fly, to say the name of my business, what my business does—whether it’s a product or a service—and what solution it provides.

So, if you’re an eatery, maybe you want to say the name of your eatery, what kind of food you specialize in, why people come to your shop, and describe how they enjoy the place. I would maybe have a T-shirt made with my social media on it.

There are going to be so many eyeballs on his tour. People are going to be tuning in on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and they’re going to be making commentary about it. You want to get your talking points written down, practice them, and get ready. Find out where he’s going to be, and you might want to show up there, too, and invite him to your place of business.

But whether you’re in Africa or in any part of the seven continents, you want to have your elevator pitch ready—which means that in the time it takes to go from one floor to the next, you can succinctly state what your business is.

These opportunities don’t come every day, so you just want to be ready. So, that is my tip for today. Please like and subscribe. And if you want to contact me because maybe you have a sales team and you want me to work with you to help develop your sales team, I’m totally interested in having that conversation. You can reach me at [e-mail].

You can also go to my LinkedIn profile to learn more about my background. So with that said, tune in and watch this young man. I mean, he's making grown women cry. People are making commentary on the socials talking about how they're touched his work

And I'm telling you I'm making this post because I wanted to cry because brought me so much joy just showing what he's doing in Africa and I believe tourism for these countries are probably going to increase, and that's gonna be very good for the country With that said thank you for listening Go iShowSpeed I fully support you.

Have a nice day!  Bye.
