oWith pre-ordering via WhatsApp/Instagram, you can “lock in” 1–2
days’ orders in advance, minimizing spoilage.
2. Low Barrier to Entry
o No heavy regulatory bottleneck (unlike visa agencies).
o No need for large physical classrooms (unlike tutorials).
o You don’t have to “prove” credibility to a corporate buyer (as in
consulting). Your “proof” is simply on-time delivery and taste.
3. Margin & Volume
o On a ₦2,000 average check, you only need ~83 orders/day to hit ₦5
million/month, which is doable in well-targeted micro-geographies
(e.g., 5 estates or 3 busy office clusters).
o By bundling: “Corporate lunch combo” at ₦1,800 × 50 orders =
₦90K/day from one corporate partner alone.
4. Scalability Tactics (to Hit ₦10 M in 2 Months)
o Corporate Lunch Programs: Approach 5–10 medium-sized offices
within Lagos Island/Ikeja. Offer “trial week” discounts (₦1,600 per
pack instead of ₦2,000) to lock in a 30–50 orders/day contract. If you
secure two offices at 50 orders/day each, that’s ₦200,000 revenue/day
→ ₦4 M/month.
“Late-Night” Micro-Events: Weekend “suya & small-chop” packs for mini parties
—sell sets at ₦7,000 (feeds 4 people). If you do 30 sets over weekends
(Friday/Saturday), that’s ₦210,000/week extra. Over 8
Cold-Call Cadence: Adopt a 4-touch sequence (call, voicemail, email,
LinkedIn) targeting a 2 %–2.3 % meeting rate

1. Business Development Manager
A dedicated Business Development Manager (or Sales Lead) will build and
maintain a robust sales pipeline, identify high-value prospects, and negotiate
contracts to secure revenue-generating engagements (Essential First Hires for
Early Stage Startups: Key Roles to Consider).
This role requires a proven track record in consultative selling and the ability
to adapt to the firm’s deal sizes, as early-stage hires must have “sold at your
price point” to ramp up quickly (Dear SaaStr: When Should a Startup Hire its
First Sales Person, and ...).
The first sales hire should demonstrate deep domain knowledge and
measurable results, aligning their outreach with Inner Energy’s service pillars
to maximize conversion efficiency (How to Hire a Salesperson for a Startup:
10 Critical Steps).
2. Service Delivery & Project Management Lead
Often titled Engagement Manager or Project Leader, this person is responsible
for planning, executing, and closing client projects—ranging from corporate
training workshops to student excursion logistics—while managing team
members and client relationships (Management Consulting Roles and
Responsibilities - Prepmatter).
They serve as the primary client contact, ensuring deliverables meet quality
standards and timelines, and capturing lessons learned for continuous
improvement (Navigating Growth: The Essentials Role of Business
Consultants in ...).
By centralizing project oversight under one leader, Inner Energy can deliver
consistent, high-impact services that reinforce its brand reputation in the

One).
3. Operations & Finance Manager
An Operations & Finance Manager will streamline internal processes—such
as scheduling, procurement, and vendor management—and oversee
accounting, cash flow, and budgeting to maintain financial health (When
should your startup make its first operations hire?).
This role often doubles as an HR coordinator, managing recruitment and
compliance, which is especially critical for organizing school excursions and
HR outsourcing solutions (Essential First Hires for Early Stage Startups: Key
Roles to Consider).
Small firms can engage a fractional CFO or qualified CPA initially, but having
an in-house operations leader ensures greater agility and process optimization
as the business scales (Spencer Stuart).
Experts recommend making your first operations hire by the time you reach
around eight to ten employees to avoid founder burnout and process
bottlenecks (When should your startup make its first operations hire?).
By filling these three cornerstone roles, Inner Energy Consult Limited can secure new
business, deliver exceptional services, and maintain operational excellence from day
one.
