Business Development Cannot Be Underrated: Zulaiha Abdullah of Divaloper
The founder of Divaloper, Zulaiha Abdullah, has emphasized the critical importance of business development, highlighting that many entrepreneurs neglect to fully develop their business ideas before launching into the market.
In an exclusive interview with DTC Official Gh during the recent Business Development Training organized by Divaloper and sponsored by the KGL Foundation, Zulaiha stressed, “There are people running businesses who have no idea who their competitors are, lack vision and mission statements, and are unaware of their customer base. Some don’t have a clear financial management strategy, so we’ve initiated this training to help young entrepreneurs overcome these challenges.”
