Wouldn’t it be great if all of your bank transactions could be solved in five minutes or less? If only it was that easy. Covid may have forced us to migrate online, but that hasn’t necessarily been a smooth transition. And after one too many phone calls with customer service, you have to wonder, why is everything so complicated? Contrary to popular belief, banks don’t put customers through long wait times and paperwork just to annoy us. What we don’t see are the methods banks use to protect us and our money.

Executive Chairman of the Think Grow Lead (TGL) Group, Duane Lue-Fong, has asserted that several businesses are now finding it difficult to get sales during the pandemic because staff lack the skill to connect, convince and persuade people the right way.

Lue-Fong noted that some businesses do well in sales because of the conditions. However, when those conditions get harsh, he said sales people will find it more difficult to grow a business if they do not possess the right skills to be able to quickly adapt and execute their mandate in a particular way.

He said with the pandemic changing how potential customers are reached, sales teams must now find alternative leads to reel in potential customers or continue to suffer losses.

We know this country for its very festive carnival, steelpan, its spicy food and its beautiful people but what do we know about its stock exchange? Trinidad and Tobago, also known as the Twin Island Republic, is a Caribbean Country situated just off the coast of Venezuela. Its location near oil and natural gas deposits gives it a different economic environment from the other Caribbean countries that rely heavily on tourism. Trinidad’s economy is supported by petroleum, petrochemicals and some manufacturing. It also has the largest stock exchange in terms of market capitalization in the English-speaking Caribbean.
