How much money to be rich?

Money goals are subjective — one person’s idea of a fortune could be another person’s version of the poorhouse. But how much would you need to walk away from a job and say, I have achieved enough? What’s your number?

According to the survey, the average annual income of respondents was $120,000 and the average net worth $1.3 million. The highest earners came from South Korea ($148,000 on average), but Hong Kong and India weren’t far behind, at $138,000 and $134,000, respectively.

India (211): $4.3 million

Marketing Management Macau Project

 My part organization structure.
The new Organization structure is in lines with the marketing plan.
The main focus of MGTO is promotion and awareness of Macau for that we  need to spend heavily on promotions and marketing, hence we have a separate manager for each activity.
All  activities are outsourced to appropriate Event managers. Sales & Distribution manager is responsible for maintaining a good relationship with them for carrying out the activities
 Finance has to be managed as there is a limited budget and we need to maximize the output. There is Budgeting and Financial Controls Manager to manage the same.
Market Research and Customer Relations Manager  does continuous research on what attracts Pinoys more and also manages retention of the tourists.
This proposed organized structure works closely with the head office and targets needs to be aligned.


We came 1st in this presentation.

Tips for Elevator Pitch


You should always give your recommendation at the start only.

Here are 9 Tips for Creating Your Powerful Elevator Speech.
  1. In your opening sentence, make it very clear who you work with. A suggested format is, "I work with target market who ..." For example, "I work with self-employed professionals and coaches who ..." If the person you're talking with is a member of your target market, they will immediately be intrigued. If they are not part of your target market, then depending on what you say next, they will most likely think of friends and colleagues who could use your services.
  2. Describe the biggest problem you solve for your target market. Your solution should be short and punchy. A suggested formula is, "I work withtarget market who has (describe problem). For example, "I work with self-employed professionals and coaches who are struggling to sell their services." I am suggesting you focus on a problem you can solve as opposed to an aspiration or a desire the potential client has. People will act more quickly and pay more money to solve problems than they will to have their aspirations or desires managed. However, if you do want to focus on aspirations and desires, just replace problem with aspirations/desires.
  3. When you get the response, "that sounds really interesting, tell me more," resist telling the person anything about your solution, your process or how you go about doing what you do. It is far, far too early for this information to be given, and if you give it now, you'll lose their interest. Nobody cares about your solution unless they know first that you can solve a problem. People do not buy the process — they buy the end result. So when they say, "tell me more," respond with some major key results your clients will receive. My own example is, "The people I work with find the selling process a lot easier, a lot less stressful and, as a result, they consistently get more clients."
  4. Remember that most people tend to think of stereotypical images of various professions. When I say "lawyer" to you, what comes to mind? When I say "accountant", what comes to mind? Also, if I was to say I was a lawyer or an accountant, would your natural reaction be to say, "tell me more?" To avoid being labelled with stereotypical perceptions, do not put a label in your Elevator Speech. Another label to avoid is the name of your company. No one cares at this stage.
  5. Remove jargon from your Elevator Speech. Check to see that you are using simple, conversational words. Simplicity is the key. Your Elevator Speech is what you say to everyone. Everyone is either a potential client or knows of a potential client. Everyone needs to understand what you're saying in layman's terms.
  6. Remember it's all about them, not you. Hence check to see that you only mention "I" once. The one time you can use it is at the beginning when you say, "I work with target market."
  7. Practice, practice, practice. Practice saying your Elevator Speech until it becomes an automatic and natural response to the question: "What do you do?"
  8. You're in the business of helping people solve problems. You're a big problem solver. It is your purpose, your moral obligation to help as many people as possible. See this, know this and let your passion and enthusiasm shine through. It's not just the words in your Elevator Speech that will have an impact but it's also the passion and enthusiasm with which you convey the words that will positively influence your potential clients. Being passionate and enthusiastic about helping people solve their problems is very magnetic to people. They will naturally want to know more.
  9. Test, tweak, test, tweak, test, tweak, and test your Elevator Speech.Test for the verbal responses like, "Tell me more" "Wow that sounds really interesting." Also test for non-verbal responses. Is the person opening their eyes, looking at you more intently or leaning towards you? You will know and feel when you have a powerful Elevator speech.

Elevator pitch - WAC 10


Here is my pitch..
Good Afternoon, i am Arshad, I am here to sell the JLR deal between Ford & Tata.
As you know Jagaur is counted among the top in luxury vehicles and known for its sophistication & style
Land Rover is 2nd oldest SUV and known for its rugged and rough  looks.
Both are iconic in their own ways, Ford has to sell of its valuable assets due to the financial crisis.
There are many benefits for Tata Motors in this deal
First, Entry in the luxury Segment and SUV segment
Second, wide and Advanced market Distribution Channel.
Third, access to R & D and talent that will not only help it in these 2 brands but back home in its local models.
Forth, to acquire a global footprint and have made in india cards in developed markets.
Finally, Create a synergy to Tata group on a whole. Considering Tata Corus deal and supply of steel.
I would highly recommend this deal, it’s an once in a life time opportunity for Tatas

How To Value A Young Company



Say you're lucky enough to find a willing investor in your young company. At some point (sooner rather than later), the guy will want to know: "How much do I have to pay for a slice of the pie--and how big a slice can I get?"
Placing a valuation on young companies is a tricky, subjective game, but it's one small-business owners have to know how to play, especially when investment capital remains stubbornly scarce. Quote too low a figure, and you'll give away the store; shoot too high, and the investor may blanch at your grasp of the underlying economics of the business.
Here are three techniques, some broken into parts, to help you put a value on your company. Your best bet is an amalgam of all of them. When it comes to impressing investors, the more ways you can speak their language, the better.
Technique No. 1: Asset Valuation
Of all valuation approaches, the asset approach--placing dollar values on all the assets on a company's balance sheet and adding them up--is the most concrete.
Start with physical assets, including machinery, office furniture, computers, inventory, prototypes (and the cost to develop them). Young companies tend not to have much in the way of physical assets, but add up what you do have.
Then move on to intellectual property. This includes patents, trademarks and even incorporation papers (because the company's name is protected). This approach may seem squishy, but the dollar amounts are real. A (rough) rule of thumb often used by investors is that each patent filed might justify $1 million increase in valuation.
How To: Five Techniques For Putting A Price On A Start-Up
In Depth: Meet America's 20 Most Promising Companies
In Depth: Uncommonly Clever Economic Indicators
Next up are all principals and employees. The value of most companies is in their people. In the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, it was not uncommon to see valuations rise by $1 million for every paid full-time programmer, engineer or designer. Don't forget to include the value of sweat equity--as in the theoretical salaries that would have been paid to founders and executives who didn't take them.
Also, don't forget the customer relationships. Every customer contract is worth something, even those still in negotiation. Assign probabilities to active customer sales efforts, just as sales managers do in quantifying their teams' forecasts. Particularly valuable are recurring revenues, like subscriptions, that don't have to be resold every period.
Technique No. 2: The Market Approach
Another way to look at valuation is by estimating a company's earning potential based on theoretical demand in the market.
Start by estimating the size and growth of your addressable market. The bigger the market, and the higher the growth projections (ginned up by independent analysts), the more your start-up is potentially worth. For a young, asset-light company looking to attract deep-pocketed investors, the target market should be at least $500 million in potential sales; if your business requires plenty of property, plants and equipment, the addressable market should be at least $1 billion.
Next, assess the competition and determine the barriers to entry. The stiffer the competition, the lower your valuation. On the flip side, the more fortified your company against new challengers (based on factors such as location, contracts with key customers, first-mover advantage, etc.), the more it's worth. These intangibles translate into what's known as goodwill--the amount a buyer might pay for your company above the value of the assets on your balance sheet. Goodwill can well bump up a valuation by a few million dollars.
Third, look at other similar companies that have managed to raise money--an exercise not unlike appraising the value of your house by comparing it to similar homes recently sold in your area. A thorough news search on Google ( GOOG - news people ) might get you pretty far when looking for comparable deals. There are also professional valuation consultants who can pitch in--for a price, of course.
Technique No. 3: Income Valuation
The method, used extensively by financial analysts, involves projecting a company's future cash flows and discounting them, at some rate, to arrive at their value in present dollars. The discount rate applied to start-ups is typically steep--from 30% to 60%. The younger the company, and the greater the uncertainty of its future earning power, the larger the discount rate should be. (Note: In the case of very young, pre-revenue companies, this technique may not prove very useful.)
A variation on this approach involves tallying your company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA, to finance types) and multiplying that figure by some reasonable factor. Calculating typical EBITDA multiples for publicly traded companies in your industry is easy: Just take their market capitalizations (easily found online) and divide by EBITDA.
If running all these numbers sounds like a bit of work, well, that's true. But, then, would you rather give away the store?

Business Strategy game


My Learning from Strategy game played for Shoe factory, 5 Mid-day sessions.

  • ·         Demand is very unpredictable, the forecast must be done considering many factors.
  • ·         Increase number of shops by seeing the demand.
  • ·         Brand image is very important to create awareness of your product to the consumers, Brand endorsements helps in marketing.
  • ·         Superior value of your product should be monitored and maintained with respect to the industry, Don’t change your vision and product line. 
  • ·         Sufficient liquidity is critical for the smooth functioning of the company so that the company can focus itself more on sales. It helps maintain bond rating.
  • ·         Pricing strategy should be based on each individual market e.g. Customers in Europe are willing to pay higher than US and Asia market. 
  • ·         It’s better to raise cash from external sources (debt and equity) rather than operating with minimum cash.
  • ·         It’s better to hold some levels of inventory rather than face stock outs which has a tremendous implication on the sales. As it reduces image rating bad time.
  • ·         It’s better to invest in productivity improvements (automation) to reduce on the costs on the long run.
  • ·         Labor compensation should be little above the geographic regional average to ensure high productivity and less quality issues.
  • ·         Rebates help in increasing sales.

Business Models, Strategy, and Tactics are different


  • Strategy. The company decides which business it wants to be in and how it will compete, creating a “unique and valuable position involving a distinctive set of activities.” It’s another way of saying, I think, here is what we can do better than anyone else and how we can defend our position in a competitive marketplace.
  • Business Model. I like the authors’ description of the business model as the “logic of the company.” This is how the firm organizes and operates, how it delivers value to customers, and how it captures value for stakeholders. It must align with company goals.
  • Tactics. Tactics are the steps used to compete in the marketplace, and they are defined largely by the business model. If your business model is built around direct sales, your tactics won’t involve incentives to retailers, for example.
The authors turn to the auto industry for an analogy. For them, strategy is designing and building the car, the business model is the car, and tactics are how you drive the car.

Marketing Project Macau

We had spent many days making the Marketing Project for Macau. finally we made a good presentation this Thursday. the presentation started at 1 pm and continued till 7 pm.

The data analysis (cluster analysis and perceptual maps )stood apart in our presentation. We were in 2nd position.  I introduced the presentation, talking about Macau.
The main insight of the project was the study about people's perception about Macau. We prepared a value proposition of Macau.
"Capture the essence of culture and entertainment in a new world."
Already macau is famous for gambling and adult entertainment, but we need to talk about the discriminator 'sino portugal culture' that sets it apart in the world. We need to attract people on this parameter.


MC End Presentation

MC was a 30 classes course, I really learnt how to do a presentation.

The MC End Presentation was to talk about what we all learnt as a Learning team in the 30 classes.

We did a 12 days of Christmas song showing what 12 things we learnt.


It was a great experience. Thanks a lot Mary Chua for a good time.

Also check the materials before making payments.
