There were times that I was broke and didn\u2019t have money. But, since I joined Easybuy my experience has been very good. Today, if people with a million naira in their bank account are asked to come out, I will be among them. My plan now is to work harder, and maybe in two years time I should have saved enough to start building my own house,\u201d Precious said.\n<\/p>\n<p>For Precious, making money once meant putting money at risk. Before joining Easybuy as a Sales Talent, she ran a small food business, preparing meals and delivering them to employees of a company during their break periods. It was a modest hustle, but one that initially seemed to work.\n<\/p>\n<p>The employees paid for their meals with tickets issued by the company. Each meal ticket was priced at \u20a6250. At first Precious was making decent profit. Like many small business owners, she thought she had found a way to turn her time and effort into stable income. Then the economics changed.\n<\/p>\n<p>Unsavoury Business Experience<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was three years ago. It was sometime around 2023 and 2024,\u201d Precious recollected. \u201cI was making profit until the price of foodstuffs in the market began to rise, and the company could not increase the value of the meal tickets to match the higher cost of ingredients,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Her experience was playing out against one of Nigeria\u2019s most difficult periods for food businesses and households across the country. In December 2024, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/microdata.nigerianstat.gov.ng\/index.php\/catalog\/154\/download\/1126\/CPI_DEC_2024.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">National Bureau of Statistics<\/a> (NBS), food prices were on average nearly 40 per cent higher than the year before, with average annual food-inflation rate for the twelve months ending December 2024 at 39.12 per cent.\n<\/p>\n<p>When Nigeria\u2019s food price crisis began eating into her margin, and the numbers no longer added up, what had once been a source of income for Precious turned to losses.\n<\/p>\n<p>From Food Business to Easybuy<\/p>\n<p>When food inflation began to ease in 2025, the damage had already changed Precious\u2019 approach to business. She found another opportunity with Easybuy. Today, more than a year as a Sales Talent, Precious says what attracted her to the role was the difference in the risk she had to carry.<\/p>\n<p>In the food business, she had to spend money before she could make money. She bought ingredients, prepared meals and absorbed the loss when rising costs made it unprofitable. With Easybuy, it\u2019s different. \u201cI don\u2019t see myself going back to the food business,\u201d she says. \u201cFood business is okay, however, the reason why I prefer being a Sales Talent with Easybuy is because you get paid for your effort.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Her job as a Sales Talent is to go into public places in search of prospective customers, introduce them to Easybuy\u2019s smartphone installment payment plans and help the customers purchase smartphones. She does not have to buy the smartphones herself or maintain an inventory of devices.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not buying anything, therefore, I am not taking any loss,\u201d she explains. \u201cI go out every day to market Easybuy\u2019s smartphone installment payment plans and get paid anytime a customer buys.\u201d This distinction has become central to how Precious now thinks about entrepreneurship. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn business there are lots of losses, but not so in Easybuy,\u201d Precious says. \u201cYes, you put in more energy trying to market the company\u2019s services, and set sales targets to meet your monthly targets set by the company. However, you get paid for your efforts. It is what you sell that the company will pay you.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Describing her experience with customers, she said she feels confident representing Easybuy. \u201cMany of the people I have helped purchase smartphones through Easybuy have returned with positive feedback about the devices, telling me that they have had no issues with the phones\u2019 performance.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>That feedback matters to Precious because her work is ultimately built on trust. Her journey may have begun with a \u20a6250 meal ticket and a business whose margins disappeared when food prices rose. However, today, Precious is living her Easybuy dream. She earns by connecting customers to smartphones and is thinking about something far bigger than her next meal sale.\n<\/p>\n<p>Easybuy Sales Talent Program<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2243366 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/easy-1_1789478792.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"355\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Set to run throughout 2026, the maiden Easybuy Sales Talent Program is a revolving initiative designed to unlock income opportunities for thousands of talented Nigerians from sales professionals and young unemployed graduates to stay-at-home mothers, POS operators, and SIM registration agents.\n<\/p>\n<p>A strategic response to Nigeria\u2019s unemployment challenge, the Program, popular among the country\u2019s young and vibrant population, has welcomed thousands of interested applicants.
