Keeping Customers


I've been reading about JIM CATHCART concept of Relationship Selling. It made me think about what we do best.

I started defining what is the Key for us to getting and keeping our customers. Are we being too direct. Almost Nobody cares about customer service and satisfaction here in Maldives. Specially is Food Delivery Services.
In fact, very few people even understand how important a single customer is.

Our customers do return. They do love our web interface , how easy and simple it is to be use. Result is We have more return customers. Its Addicting isn't it ?
All what our customers are concerned about is whether the item can satisfy there Hunger.
I belive Sales is a supportive activity that is done to fill needs. And my role is to fo out and find the rigt item for our customers , make shure they get the Right item they orders and if any mistakes are being done by our side be responsible and also make our vendors responsible and offer a compansation to satisfy the customer.
Why shouldn't we copy the Pizza Huts HATE-LATE concept :)

This is why our Customers Keep Returning...
They love badhige :)

Nothing for Kids

Almost 70% of Maldivians go out for a snack or Coffee at office break time even after working hours. All they want is to relax there minds.

Mostly they go in Groups. Are they Relaxing there minds going to Crowded Cafe's or getting more headache with a Cup of Coffee and couple of cigarettes they have ?

Due to this , there are no Child friendly Cafe's and restaurants in Male' Island.
I am sure no one will take Kids to a place crowded with Groups with Gossip and Filthy words.

People always want something different. This represents tremendous opportunity!

Open BOX



What most people don't realize, especially in business, whatever it is that the business does it's not for them but for their customers. Most think in terms of what is it for them? Well it is not about them it is about ME - the customer.

So make it easy for the customer... make it easy for them to push a button and everything happens, make it easy for them to register, make it easy for them to find what they want and be satisfied.
They are the customers and by definition they are the people who pay.
So charge them high but give them something they'll never forget.

It's Now Time


It just going to be 2 years after i left Philippines. Spending around 3 years in self-exile to be away from all the memories at home. ( Broken Business and with a Broken Heart )
Returned with, so many ideas ,sweet memories, and hoping those ideas and experiences can make a difference.


After being treated and well injected in jail cells. I learned myself life is beautiful and if we do things it can happen.

I can close my eyes and let things go. Life is not to give up, just keep trying until we reach a goal. Life is all about a secret. The secret of Positive thinking. Some call this Law of Attraction.

Lets not talk about what i have lost on my Way...

I used to work and live alone is my Codo room in Mandaluyong city and order food online using Macdonald's online food delivery service. It was so easy and convenient for me. My Fav Big mac and Mac nuggets arrive to my door step in just 30 minutes on such a Big City like Manila.

So why no Macdonalds in Maldives. Yes our population is only 300,000 and our economy is weak to generate the target sales for a MacDo. But why can't we really get Food at the door step. with a click.

Yes we can, and we did it.

It was a simple night - I met with the good-matured web programmer over a coffee with some other friends. And that's how this started. Just in few minutes time i realized this is going to be another tough but a successful project. It did not take me long to get a positive response from the the crowd about it, immediately had a meeting ( at a anonymous meeting room ) there were around 5 of us planning to give some commitment on the project
Same night, the name " Badhige " came into our Mind. At that time some laughed at us.

After months of motivation. Those who laughed left us, and its only 3 of us remaining who belive in big time sucsess.

It had just begun.....

What business you might ask? What's the revolution in today's communication in the Maldives bigger than we've ever seen? Badhige.com is a start of a New Online Trend of Business !

It have started really small, a very pleasant play with the new delivery service business I have put up with Hassana and Ixy. It is a very simple concept that will form a relationship with the restaurants and its clientele.

NO NO its here

We always hear a lot of people say they are out of creative ideas....


NO NO its here.....
I just have to say there are so many ideas to play with and we never run out..
This i think is human nature.

What people think of running out of ideas ready to be applied and business concerns.
What i think why people are running out of ideas is cause they FEAR ...

There are so many ideas that can be implemented. I believe when the right time come we have to apply those ideas...and it happens in the form of business.
