Yes, remote selling is now a must, even you are selling to people just across the street, for we cannot meet people. Even after the lockdown period, people are still cautious.

Think of all the good things that your office brings you: a sense of community, instant hands-on, going lunches together, exchange gossip or information about work or anything, plus sharing of tidbits and goodies.  Now they are all gone. We know that sooner or later the lockdown will be lifted.  But until the new daily COVID-19 cases are zero consecutively for at least a week, we cannot go back to the old days.  All offices must practise the following: 1. Social distance , that means you cannot get close to your colleagues or customers for whatever reason, there must be at least a 1-metre gap in between 2. Barriers in between workplaces so that no 2 persons can get close accidentally 3. All meetings beyond one person are to be disallowed.  That means you cannot do product launches, seminars, talks or training that make people sit together.  All meetings must be virtual 4. Al after-work entertainment eg go to bars, karaoke will become difficult or impos...

People often want to get results in the fastest way, and they asked me what types of people should they bring to our Mobile Number Profiling Zoom talks.  They are: 1. People that Are Not on Fixed Salary, or people on fixed salary but now their job is at jeopardy . These people do not have a regular income, and COVID-19 simply made their little irregular income vanished overnight.  So they are hungry and want to seek a part-time or even full-time income from a platform that is not affected by COVID-19.   We know we are in the business of helping people reduce uncertainties, and in such uncertain times, the demand for our services naturally increases. You can verify this fact with Teacher Li or talk to Stella Ouyong, our staff.  2. People that are already very much into Chinese things including Fengshui, Bazi, Yijing etc.  For these people, mobile number profiling using Yijing principles is very in tune with their interests and they will sign up immedi...

Yes, we know that there are many difficulties to overcome when you use WeChat outside China.  Many people from China could not understand this, and they often find it difficult to use WeChat with us. This chapter looks at all of the difficulties and the solutions: 1.   People outside China, especially Singapore, use WeChat very infrequently .   Most use it at most once or twice a week, and many don’t even use it for months. We know that if you don’t use WeChat for more than 3 months, your account will be blocked and many people don’t know how to unblock it.   Besides, friend requests in WeChat has a 3-days validity, so infrequent usage makes it difficult to increase your friends 2.   Bias against China and anything from China .   Because of years of influence by the Western media, especially Facebook, Google and the media, many people I know view anything from China with a negative bias.   If the things from China are good (eg phones very lasting),...

(This is covered in lecture 22 of our course Financial Intelligence) The time value of money -- the idea that money received in the present is more valuable than the same sum in the future because of its potential to be invested and earn interest -- is one of the founding principles of Western finance. Let's say you lent your friend $2000. Would you rather he repaid you today, or tomorrow? The logical choice would be today, because you'll be able to use your money, and potential gains that come with it, sooner. What Is the Time Value of Money? Money is worth more more in the present than in the future because there's an  opportunity cost  to waiting for it. In addition to your loss of use if you don't get your hands on it right away, there's also  inflation  gradually eroding its value and purchasing power. If you're going to part with your money for any period of time, you probably expect a larger sum returned to you than you started ...
