It all started with a broken phone and a simple comment from our mom.
Our Story
From a Comment to a Big Thing
One day, I (Victor) was heading out to get my phone fixed. As I was leaving, my mom stopped me and said, “Instead of always paying people to fix your phone, why don’t you learn how to fix phones yourself?” I didn’t think much of it at first. But later that day, I brought it up with my brother, Light. We started talking about phones, repairs, and business. The more we talked, the more it made sense.
Our mom mentioned the idea to a friend who worked in Computer Village, Lagos. He told her, “This is a great business. People will always need their phones fixed or replaced.” That was it. We knew we had to give it a shot.
We didn’t have much when we started. No fancy shop. No big capital. We only had a drive to learn and a belief that we could make it work. We asked questions, learned from people in the business, and practiced every chance we got. Soon, we weren’t just fixing phones. We started selling them too. That’s how The Phonepreneur was born.
At first, we called our business iPhonePreneur because we focused on iPhones. But people kept asking, “Do you only sell iPhones?” That was a problem. So we changed it to The Phonepreneur to show that we work with all phone brands. And now, we not only deal in phones but in almost everything tech!
Running a business isn’t easy. We’ve had our fair share of struggles. The biggest challenge was during COVID-19. Everything slowed down. People weren’t buying phones like before. We had to think fast. So, we focused on selling online and started doing deliveries. It worked. Another challenge was finding good suppliers. In this business, where you buy your stock matters. We made mistakes at first, but we learned. Now, we work with trusted suppliers to get the best deals.
A Day at The Phonepreneur
Our day starts at 9 AM. We check online orders (most come from Instagram) and get the store ready. By mid-morning, the place is busy. Customers come in for repairs, swaps, or new phones. Some just stop by for consultations. We work non-stop until 6 or 7 PM. At the end of the day, the goal is simple: Make sure every customer leaves happy.
We believe in treating customers right. That’s the key to our success. Some businesses just want to make a sale but we want to build relationships too. Even when a customer is difficult, we stay patient. We explain things. We help them make the best choice. That’s why people trust us.
Also, our customers know that they will always get quantity for us at affordable prices. So, they are stuck with us and we love them just like that!
