Meet the President/ Chief Executive
Officer (CEO), GreenHunters Sports International
AND
Founder, Inspire Football Life (IFL Network)
AND
Founder, Inspire Football Life (IFL Network)
Q5. We understand that you published GreenBall Trial Camp on your company website; ‘Cheer on Nigeria’ and ‘Inspire Football’ for 2 years running, but the camp never actually hold and many of the registered players were discouraged. Why did you decide to just raise their hopes for nothing? It’s like giving out a dude check.
A5. It isn’t
a dude check. It’s the approach we took. We know that the event will require a
lot of finances, over #20 Million Naira, and players pay to participate in most
trial camps around world. But our aim is to get sponsors to subsidize the cost
so that great talents, who may come from less privileged homes, may participate
and be discovered.
We’ve not
given up on the project! We’re determined to hold the GreenBall trial camp. Our
attempt to get Jumia and Vconnect to sponsor the event didn’t come through as
expected. We’ve opened talk with other potential sponsors and we’re hopeful
that by November or so, we may hold the first edition.
Q6. Most of the discouraged players
said there was no real intention to hold any trial camp at first place, that
you were only using it as gimmick to sell your eBook. What do you have to say?
A6. The
eBook, ‘How to Achieve Your Football Dream’, is a bestseller! The demand is
still very high on Amazon online bookstore. We don’t need to use a gimmick to
sell it.
I think the
eBook is a must read for every footballer and I strongly recommend it if you
have read it already!
The eBook is
presently sold at US$10 (equivalent of #1, 600 naira) at Amazon bookstore, but
we decided to subsidize the price at #1, 000 Naira. Guess what, only 26 players
eventually purchased the eBook.
I don’t really
blame them. It seems like we have dashed their hopes at the moment, but that’s
because they aren’t aware of the enormous work we are doing from the backend.
We were only enforcing the eBook because we know how important it is and how it
will help prepare the players ahead of the trial camp. Some of the players that
read the book got back to thank me for such expositions.
Q7. Finally sir, tell us a little of
what’s going on with your IFL Network?
A7. It’s
getting interesting. We’ve members who have taken up the IFL networking full
time, organizing big rallies and seminars across the world.
You know,
once you register and get 5 new persons to register, you get into the money
making tree. And as your down line grows, you could earn over US$39, 000 in a
complete stream. We have members who have built many down line streams and are
earning much more.
Brands like
Perfect Sports Clothing Dubai has joined the affiliate program and our reseller
groups can now save up to 30% discounts from cooperative purchases.
Picklive
Nigeria has also joined and integrated their system to automatically recognize
members of IFL network, to top up their account up to 20% at anytime they play
the live fantasy football game. A lot is going on.
Q8. Thank you very much sir for your
time
A8. You are
welcome.
