PAV Telecoms provides real opportunities to real people. Here are the stories of 2 people that have seen the fruits of being and PAV Agent and have climbed to the top to become PAV Place Owners.
This is the Story of Precious Mavuya
My name is Precious Mavuya.I can only describe myself as ambitious.
I was nineteen years old when I had my first paying job and that was in 1992.Which is 26 years ago. Growing up I wanted to be my own boss , provide my own cheque and be the best entreprenuer as I can.As an entreprenuer you must always look careful for opportunities and that is what I did and I saw the opportunity and seized it and start the business. I am motivated with various things but what remains outstanding in me is having a stronger desire for success and building a successful business empire.
When I first joined the industry I did worked for various companies like Smartcall, Second cell to mention a few and I even deregister myself from PAV. I almost give up due to false promises which I get from other companies in form of financial and none financial incentives.I only never give up when I realised that PAV is home and I come back and re-register in 2014 as all my promises were fulfilled and here I am proud to be PAV family.
Simcards industry business can be demanding but due to the advancement of technology whereby people have moved into cellphone world, where internet can be accessed on your phone, computer and for that phone to be connected you need the simcard and hence it was an easy decision to start the business. It is also one of the fastest growing industries in South Africa whereby about R40billion is generated. Zonke do help the community through employment creation from all people of walks of life by recruiting them to be rica agents and by bring the product nearer to them.My advice to someone about to start out is ,’When you know what you want, you will find a way to get’. Perseverence and commitment is required.
I did choose PAV through their fairness policy , financial and non financial incentives are above all. It is a company which take cares of the sheep, unwavering support in good and bad times and their willing to lift another person to be like them and provide what is required to build bigger business. Today I have a hub and a car through PAV and these are the results for PAV.I appreciate you being friends and stand with the smaller friend in needy who wants to shine. Your success is my success.
I am capable of fitting to a particular situation, as we operate in the world where risk is associated with business.I do budget, remain revelant and monitor changes in markets and are some of the things which takes me through worst times.
My responsibility as business operator is to make sure I deliver the promises , lead the team surrounding me to the right direction. Managing and implementation of the vision, satisfying customer needs and wants and looking possible ways of growing the business and maintaining good relations with the supplier.
I started as a rica agent 8 years ago and I was trained with Daniel Molefe who used to own a hub in Dobosonville, Soweto. I was his best activator hence he promoted me to manage agents in Johannesburg cbd and from there companies started to approach me and a dream was realized and I become my own boss.
