A bonus class on eCommerce and mini importation was taken by his partner and Assistant Facilitator, Mr Tunde Oladejo, an eCommerce expert based in Lagos, Nigeria. The expectations of the women rose when a few secrets in mini-importation were revealed to them vis-à-vis how to do your market research in order to make over 1500% Return On Investment. The profit margins the class calculated was an eye-opener.
