Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

@mlennyama,Maichblack
Ata street light is counted as a connection.So if on a highway 15 of them are connected and lit up;those are counted as 15 homes
Hizo numbers are so cooked up you won't believe if you go to the details.
That is why the numbers are not corresponding to the bottomline/revenue

Even in our homestead, we have 4 meters main house ya mbuyu and 3 simbas. Main house is active, simbas are very inactive lakini are counted. Replicate that to Kenya

Kuwaga serious @Ericsson!!! Where did you see a single lamp post with it's own meter?? Ama what do you understand "connections" to mean??? Next you will tell us they counted the number of bulbs in our houses!!!

Some things you don't even need to argue! Just take a road trip to a random village that did not have electricity 5 years ago.

You guys try so much!!! And not in a nice way. Why would a main house and 3 simbas owned by the same entity have four different meters???

Again, take a road trip to a random village and you will realize the reverse is actually true. Someone gets electricity into his house and then "vutias" his mother (the grandma of the family) and his son who's house is just next to his!

MB I think our argument is that the increment in the number of connections will not directly translate to increment in revenues .... profits .... in a proportional manner. Revenues and profits will lag behind .... I hope I make sense smile

This issue of not letting facts get in the way of a "nice" argument is not nice! Not at all!!

I haven't read that anywhere. It was stated in post #???

If that is what you are saying NOW, it makes a lot of sense - it is actually 100% true. Profits will INCREASE but not by the same margins because you cannot compare the consumption of an industry and that of a home and you cannot compare the consumption of a rural homestead to that of an urban homestead. And of course you cannot compare the consumption of a home in Runda to that in Kibera.

Therefore a 60% increase in connections will definitely NOT translate to 60% increase in profits. BUT there will be a increase in profits!!!
