“GTCO gave a maximum of 4 vendor tags per stall because they know it takes a village. You need someone taking records, another collecting payment, and another just smiling at people and encouraging them to shop. Like I said, you need a team, so if you’re a solopreneur, you’d definitely need some employees/volunteers to help. GTCO corporate social responsibility is robust, far reaching and impactful. The bank has added value to many businesses and rekindled people’s hope”
