Nowadays IT profession has customers from all walks of life with different demands but the services and management are still poor as Malaysia hasn’t have any IT brand franchise. PC WORLD emulate experiences from successful franchise establishment, management and development which match with SQPT Services.

At present, most of the individual computer shop do not care about customer networking, brand marketing plan, culture of organization, training and so on. This caused them to have a weak brand consciousness, innovation, market positioning, characteristic and brand image. However, PC WORLD has set branded as target of development which will establish stronger sales and online purchase

Marketing system

As the headquarters provide alliance with the plan of propaganda of advertising and so on, this will be saving the time and cost of partners and yet a small amount of fund will get the biggest propaganda effect.

When The Company Expands The Business Domain To The Rural Area:

While going to the rural area to expand in company's business, people will asks if it is worth it for developing business?

The answer is: To deserve and be meaningful, the business success or failure does not lie in how much money you make. 

Many years ago, a customer has agreed to send his computer to me for maintenance in city the center. I waited for a whole day, but he failed to turn up without any reason. I felt disappointed and thought that perhaps he was unable to come due to certain reasons. 2 weeks later under the hot afternoon, I looked outside from the window of my shop. I saw the customer using his right arm to carry the computer, the left hand to carry the keyboard and mouse, walked with a limp. Then I left and went forward to open the door to greet him at once. He was struggling with the computer. Actually he did not fail to keep the appointment that day; rather it is because he was too shy to trouble us to make outdoor service because he lives far from the city. His child needed to use the computer. He had only a shabby motorcycle and rode it to PC World with his son bringing the computer. Our shop were about 20km from his house.

Because of carelessness, they fell of the bike and damaged the computer case. Son's condition was serious, with fracture arm and has already been discharged from hospital. Looking at the incident caused me to feel apologetic. We determined to give a brand-new computer to him but he refused our gesture and thanked us. This taught me that accomplishment has nothing to do with being rich or poor, educated or none, without higher knowledge. He has more social value than other lofty person. He reminded me to treat people and conduct oneself in society with responsibility.  The company vision was setup since that day, all the service and marketing tactics will emphasize on citizen welfare and security matter. Let the citizen get the most convenient service, shorten their journey and reduce unnecessary risk in sending computers for servicing.

Our mission is to "be dedicated to customer service ". The favorable efforts to citizen are implemented progressively with “responsibility" being the most importance key for all PC WORLD future plans.

Father:

A dull afternoon with few cars on the street, the air seemed motionless and in this sleepy period of time, me and another employee are settling some problem. The door suddenly open and a 50 to 60 year-old man followed by a young man entered my small scale computer shop. The old man has a dark complexion, old-style trousers covered with pieces of the washed off T-shirt and a pairs of gray black sandals. The young man dressed in an outdated piece of cheap blue jeans and Pangkor island T-shirt. The old man look humbly shy while the young man's face could not conceal his excitement. I greeted them. Old man was shy and speechless, saying that he wanted to buy a computer for his son to learn. They have shallow knowledge of the computer. He was always nodding. I can totally feel their confidence in me. After a long conversation, when the father and son busy on the selection of computer, he raised his head and ask me if he need to pay cash if he buys now? Because back then, the company was still small, so we do not keep stock. Each order needs to be back-to-back order. At that time I told him to pay only RM300 deposit and collect the ready computer set after 4 days. At the same time I saw the son looking at his father's with concerned eye. The father and son discussed for a while. The son asked his father to buy the computer priced at RM4899 which was most expensive.

Frankly speaking, I was worried, because a bowl of wonton noodles cost RM8 then and there is no installment allowed. I quickly turn the situation around and try to smooth things out. At the end, unexpectedly, the father did not hesitate. He pulled out a bunch of pink plastic bag containing the money! I have to use "a pile of" to describe it, because it is a mixed bundle of folded money. The old man place the money gently down on the table, with small value of  RM2, RM5 and RM10! From this, I can imagine money is not earn to easy. It is earned from hawkers and other hard-earned money jobs. I wondered how long it took him to save the amount? I did not dare to ask. I am afraid and I am feel sorry. That one afternoon, the father and I spent around 30 minutes counting the money. They fully paid the balance and was apologetic about carrying this amount of money. What I saw was a great father caring for the child's education. And I also saw a fully trustable and acceptable man. I certainly happy to close a sale but that sale is not important for me.

I feel like I was virtually helping this father and son because the computer sets costing
was over the selling price. I think this is the only thing I can give back to him for his full trust and confidence on me. A few days later, the father and son came to my shop. The moment the son collected the new pc set, he was all smiles and his eyes brightened with joy. I took 2 hours to teach him how to use the computer. Before leaving the father was thankful and still humble. I helped them to carry the computer set into the car. I felt grateful and blessed. Hope that all parents can be like the father, with such attentiveness to their childrens' education and future so that the next generation can lead a better and comfortable live. As a result, this single transaction earned was not money, but the father's share of earned "trust".

Colleagues In An Accident:

Many years ago, while everyone prepared to have lunch, the phone rang. The wife of my new colleague called informing that he met with an accident on the way to work that morning. He met with a car accident. She did not explain his condition but judging from her anxious voice, I knew the situation was not good. When I arrived at the General Hospital at the end of the corridor, I saw a pregnant woman. She had haggard eyes, red and swollen, teary, showing heartbrokenness. There were a group of his family members, looking solemned. At that moment my heart felt so painful. I approached to say hello, as this was my first time knowing his family. Looked across the room window, I saw him lying on the bed, with body full of intubation and instrumentation.  The head was wrapped with gauze. His cheeks, lips and limbs are all injured. Eyes and facial bruises were too outrageous. I almost did not recognized him! His wife said he was on his way to work and was hit by an on going lorry. Her tears hardly stopped and I could not bear to raise other question.

Seeing the hard-working colleague, laying there dying, I feel particularly heavy with emotions. He was working in KL and just came back to his hometown to take care of his pregnant wife and parents. He lived at the rural area and needed to take about 40 minutes drive to the office. In order to save on expenses, he rode a motorcycle to work every day. The doctors couldn't say if he could survive this ordeal. I was really worried that she would not be able to handle the situation as she was about to give birth. However at that time, in addition to giving financial help and a few comforting words, there was nothing I could do. We prayed for him and hope there will be a miracle. After several days, a miracle finally happened! The moment I received the good news, I was truly relieved and began to resume normal work. 

I began to think of the impact of the accident. If the staff do not need to travel long distances to come to work, then he would not have a car accident. If he work near to home, then he might be able to escape the day of the accident. What can I do to help those young people who want to stay in their hometown? What we can do is to create more rural employment or entrepreneurial opportunities, then the young people do not need to travel long to cities.
