A new friend

He saw my blog and read out my posting to me. A new friend. “ken” I engage him to work for me during one of the MOE event in Suntec somewhere in March this year.

I actually wanted to write this post earlier, but was busy with other things and keep pushing this back. After the March show, I went on to engage his services for a couple of times more.

Typical “Ah Beng” style will be your initial thoughts when you get to know him. but then I find this young man full of drive and he is willing to go the extra mile to finish up works and this is what I had when I started business 13 years back. Always going the extra mile for my clients handling late night servicing calls and so on.

When I see the way he works and the attitude, I saw something familiar which over the years become lesser and lesser in me. Customer are always demanding, our level of service has to be always there for them. With the increasing business cost and the dropping of service dollar, how long can we keep up with this high level of service with diminishing income. Well that is something we have to think and work out on.

Coming back to my friend, Ken. He kind of motivated me again, but for how long, I won’t know. He also make me rethink my business strategy and the level of service I’m providing. He is now serving the army, but then I would like to take this opportunity to thank him and wishes him all the best in his life. This post is dedicated to you.

3rd quarter coming to an end

In a zoom, we are soon finishing the 3rd quarter of this year 2010. a little more than 6 weeks and we will be in the last quarter of the year. This seems to be a very fast year for me, lots of happening things this year and I really have not enough time to express my thoughts on this blog.

I just got my company site redone, put in new products and new pictures to enhance it. Still have lots of works to be done but then hope to be able to roll out everything smoothly and quickly.

Life is really hectic for the past 4 months or so, after the stationery business starts rolling. No time for any other things. Servicing my clients is more than enough to flatten me out. Really tiring but fulfilling. Friends asking me to go for a holiday with them, but then cannot commit. I wish to go but got no idea what is holding me back.
