The Reason Why Samsung's Sales Drop

According to Samsung, its market share for smartphones has declined by 28% as at June 2014.  The market share now stands at 25%, compared to 35% in 2013.  Samsung attributed the drop in business to the onslaught of cheap smartphones from China (they never mentioned Xiaomi, but we all know who they're talking about).  

So is it true that your competitors take away your business?  We know that even if you half your price, you may still not able to beat your competitor.  (read here for explanation)

If you look at the models introduced by Samsung in 2013 and 2014: they are all iterations, that is, incremental improvements over the previous models. Whether it is Galaxy Note 4, S5, Alpha or Note Edge, they all spotted faster processors, sharper screens and higher pixels for cameras. All these are good, but they are just iterations and not major improvements or quantum leaps, unlike the revolutionary Note and S 2 in 2011.  The point is not whether they are good, but the previous models were already very good, how to expect consumers to fork out money again to buy something that is just marginally good?

According to marketing guru Jack Trout, if you don't differentiate, you will die.  (read here for the 8 ways to differentiate)  Of course not die in a fast way, but die slowly when cheaper competitors take away your business.  What's the way out of this?  Be different.  But not just minor improvements, but making quantum leaps like what Apple's i-Phone 6 will be doing in September 2014. 

All these require a change in mindset.  The human brain likes to limit itself, and most people are using only less than 10% of their brain.  Imagine if we could use 100% of our brain, interesting things will happen.  (read here for article).  We need a new way of selling, called Limitless Selling.  From now onwards there is simply NO LIMIT in what we are selling.

Limitless Selling starts from ourselves: where we burst all barriers and attain the unattainable. We will work out a plan to double and treble our sales in the next 12 to 24 months. All our products and services need to be revamped or re-packaged. Our solutions and services to customers will also be changed to no-limits. Plus, our customer support and technical people will have to be changed to give us limitless support.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co
