He was basically gloating about how he has been in business for more than 15 years without any need for a salesperson. He was braggy about it because his team has been the pioneer for DM in Malaysia, and therefore, there was no compelling case for him to be actively selling, let alone, hire any salesperson since he obtains his prospects thru the onlineThu, 11 Mar 2021 15:17:08http://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/marketing-vs-saleshttp://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/the-chronicles-of-the-green-cow​"Ships will sail round world but the flat earth society will continue to flourish," said a wise old investor. The more you think about such a statement, the more interpretations you will have. And this is the sort of answers people like to throw out when they are asked a difficult question or given a high expectation to share the secret of their success.If you have recently lost your job (or your main source of income) just as I have, and you have tried relentlessly to get back intoWed, 17 Feb 2021 12:04:10http://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/the-chronicles-of-the-green-cowhttp://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/to-market-to-marketRemember the story of Jack and the Beanstalk? Bet you read it as a child, and fondly remembered how Jack slayed the giant after he stole the hen that laid the golden eggs and the golden harp that would not stop harping. I am not here to help you relive that childhood memory, but will focus on the most important part of the story - the moment the adventure was rendered possible when Jack made the trade of all trades.A trip to the marketPut yourself in Jack's shoes.

If you don't believe me, you haven't lived long enough. Truth be told, when you only want to hear what you want to know, then you are not listening. Listening is becoming a rare skill these days and will continue to be in a world that is buzzing with information and multimedia overload. Don't believe me?

Change is a primary attribute of time. Civilizations rise and fall as a result of change. If history has taught us anything, change is not something to be taken lightly. We need to constantly remind ourselves that the changes that we think we are so aware and ready for may not necessarily make life comfortableThu, 11 Mar 2021 03:51:47http://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/chasm-of-changehttp://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/the-sun-no-longer-shines-on-sunshineI am a fan of local enterprises, especially the ones that had to rely on their own ingenuity, business acumen and sheer hard work and not be given nor expecting handouts from the government. For a country with so many resources, it is unfortunate that we don't have many born and bred Malaysian enterprises that rise to the global stage. So when an enterprise is making a splash or getting noticed on the world stage, I am always a fan and truly wish them all the success.

And any Marketer today who is not savvy enough to navigate the digital tightrope will find out that his or her market value will drop significantly. Online biz is no longer limited to just having a website or a FB presence - it is so much more complex. However, does it really have to embrace it all?Thu, 11 Mar 2021 03:55:46http://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/digital-marketing-in-malaysiahttp://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/investing-a-necessity-or-a-luxuryThis is by far the most intriguing question one can put to a friend, "Hey what sort of investments are you into?" Why? Well, it solicits many reactions, mostly the negative ones. And I will be honest that if you asked me this question a year or so ago, I will be slightly skeptical about your motive and will also avoid answering your question.And why do you think people really dislike this question?

In the business world, it is no different. We will be fools to ignore that the big corporations with deep pockets and an almost unlimited resource will not mow over anyone that dares to stand in their way - in this case, threaten their existence. The business world gets more ruthless these days when we start to learn (often from whistleblowers as well as their smaller competition - the little David that got stomped) of the subtle things thatThu, 11 Mar 2021 03:53:19http://site4858676.arealm.net/my-3cents/david-vs-goliath-who-wins
