Getting Business Without Even Meeting The Customers!
Can you imagine getting businesses without meeting your customers or clients at all?
Nope, we’re not talking about using high tech media here. Just through telephone and emails.
You see, Mr Yong Hin Fei, a Flat World partner in Ipoh, Perak, has gotten more than 15 deals for his business card printing services in this manner.
On top of that, a few more back end deals are expected to take place, following those initial business card transactions.
“And do you know what’s interesting? I’ve never met these customers at all! We only deal through telephone and emails.” Mr. Yong exclaimed. “They are mainly from Kuala Lumpur. We transacted by having them depositing the money into my bank account, and I send them the cards by courier once they are ready.”
Now, how difficult is it to get business deals where your customers or clients have never ever seen you in person?
The relationship is not there. Trust is not there… I mean can you trust the person and give them the business (and bank in the money first) without meeting them in first place? (Frankly, I couldn’t!)
Yet, how can Mr. Yong did it?
“Well, it’s through Flat World’s affiliate marketing services. To just give a business without even meeting that person, you must have complete trust in that business. Especially, where you have to deposit the money first.” explained Mr. Yong.
“In Flat World’s affiliate marketing services, the element of trust is there because of the 5-Heart Monitoring Mechanism. Moreover, people will talk about your business during the networking dinner.” Mr. Yong emphasised.
And trust is one of the important values Flat World seeks to promote.
“In those days, when your forefathers agreed to the terms in their business dealings, their words are as good as gold. When they passed on their businesses to the later generations, they would remind them that they have to stick to the terms which were committed by their words. If any of them breached that trust, it’s really embarrassing to the families.” Matthew, the founder of Flat World said in many of his presentation. “It’s better to die than to suffer that embarrassment!”
“These days, you can have the best lawyers to draft out the agreements in writing, yet it can still end up in court!”
“In Flat World, we want to promote the value of trust among our entrepreneurs.”
So, by building the platform based on values and principles, trust being one of them, Flat World offers a very unique service which is one of its kind in the world. (No, this is not exaggeration. You can’t find any comparable platform in the world yet.)
And Mr. Yong’s case is one of the many example of how businesses can take place through Flat World without the two parties meeting in person at all!
More to come…
