Here’s a recent phone SMS from a prospect (edited for clarity): "Tayo, good evening. I read your article online – Producing Good Catfish Is Important (But Finding Good Buyers Is Imperative).Thank you for such insight. I want to start a catfish farm business from scratch as a business. Please any helpful information to get me started? I have never attended any seminar whatsoever. What’s your advice? God bless. Edwin."
This article is based on excerpts from the response I eventually sent to the enquirer.
Like I told him, more people are reaching out to me for help with along similar lines.
I’m however a VERY results focussed person. 12 solid years of experience have taught me to screen out time wasters. This is so as to devote my scarce time resource and expertise to serious minded enquirers.
So, about a year ago, I began to respond with the 2 option offer described below.

With my help, and support, you can significantly boost your chances of farm business startup, and management success.
1. A One-Off Needs Analysis/Consulting Service
This requires a N10k payment, 100% in advance – for a ONE hour session. I will send you a questionnaire that you will complete and return to me.
Then we will speak on phone for 30 minutes to one hour, during which I will discuss your questions and answers with you, and also give you tips, insights, information, education and suggestions you can use.
Any questions I am unable to answer, I will research and get back to you on.
24 to 48 hours after the interview session, I will send you a formal PDF report based on my review of our discussion, in conjunction with the responses you give in the questionnaire.
The PDF I send you will be written like an Action Plan you can follow, with modifications where you want, to implement your project’s plan.
2. A Monthly Needs Analysis/Consulting & Support Service
This requires a N25k payment, 100% in advance.
Basically, you signup for a month of access to me.
We will do EVERYTHING mentioned in 1. above.
But it will not be limited to ONE session.
Instead, it will be a month long relationship in which you will be able to ask me questions and get answers you want. (Terms apply).
The PDF report I send you AFTER the Needs Analysis session, will be written like an Action Plan you can follow, with modifications where you want, to implement your project’s plan.
As you implement the plan, you will still have access to me, to discuss your progress and review your plan implementation process.
I will also offer you information (including reports and guides) that I have access to, which will help you achieve your intended goals.
Where appropriate, I will link you with contacts I have, towards implementing any plans we discuss and agree upon.
