Peddler power – master salesmen

June 23rd, 2010 by Catherine Herbst

The internet and bookshop shelves are littered with advice on the how-to of sales; everyone from Dale Carnegie (yes I am that old); to Richard Branson, Jim Collins and Stephen Covey has the secret to sales success. But I think the real deal can be found on the street.

Must have GEES!

June 9th, 2010 by Monique Boucher

You can keep your Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos; this winter the only two ‘must-haves’ is a South African flag and a vuvuzela!

Around the country South African flags wave a colourful welcome to the world from shop windows, homes, social networking sites (thanks to twibbon) and most notably on our roads where flags are hoisted from car windows and hug side mirrors.

Our nation has been gripped by the ‘gees’ (spirit) and excitement to be the first African country to host the FIFA Soccer World Cup! It’s a pretty big deal and it’s doing more than putting us on the map – its igniting our patriotism.

Our team showed Table View our ‘gees’ during the nationwide call to trumpet vuvuzelas at noon today.
