Beliawanis reaches out

By YENG AI CHUN

KUALA LUMPUR: Beliawanis, the Young Women’s Bureau of MCA, has created a blog to reach out to young Malaysians.
The blog address is http://beliawanis.blogspot.com and the movement welcomed feedback, Beliawanis chief Tee Hooi Leng said yesterday.

She said Beliawanis would be undergoing rebranding by highlighting economic matters, raising political awareness of young women and touching on issues affecting the youths. It used to take up social issues.

Tee said this year’s line-up of Beliawanis state leaders reflected the new direction of the bureau.“Last time, at least 80% of our committee members are educated in Chinese. This year, we have a more diverse pool of members, some are English educated and not that fluent in Mandarin,” she said, adding that the bureau had also lowered its membership age limit to 35 from 40.

To kick start the year with its new outlook, Beliawanis is organising a seminar on business solutions and strategies to survive the current economic downturn.
Entitled “From Cold, Wet Fish to Sushi!,” the seminar will feature business change expert from Britain, Dr Ted Jones, and speakers from the Shangri La group and Singapore Airlines.

Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, who was also present at a press conference in Wisma MCA here yesterday, said: “This is the first project of the year by Beliawanis and it is in-line with our plan of transformation after the March 8 election.”

Organising chairman Jessica Lai May Kum said 600 seats are available on a first come first served basis. The seminar will be held at Wisma MCA on Jan 19.
For more information, contact Lai at 012-203 9028 or e-mail beliawmca@gmail.com; or visit the Beliawanis website.

Expert: Improve Customer Service

NEWSPAPER ANNOUNCEMENT - SEMINAR BY DR. TED JONES

Expert: Improve customer service

KUALA LUMPUR: Instead of slashing prices, smaller industries should improve on their customer service to compete with the bigger companies to ride out the global economic crisis.
“If companies continue to lower their prices in a competitive environment, only the larger and well-established organisations will survive,” Institute of Customer Service chairman Dr Ted Johns said.

“Smaller players will not be able to keep up. “Companies should instead treat their customers with more warmth and courtesy, as this would transform consumers into their regular patrons even though their prices are not as low as their competitors,” he told a press conference at the seminar, “From Cold, Wet Fish To Sushi! – How To Create Added Value From Your People And Your Customer Service Using A World-Class Formula To Survive This Economic Downturn”, organised by Beliawanis, the Young Women’s Bureau of MCA, at Wisma MCA here yesterday.
Dr Johns said customers given excellent service and value for money would even help promote the company by sharing their positive experience with others.

“Such word-of-mouth communication will help companies expand their market and reduce costs on advertising,” he pointed out.

He said among the worst performers in customer service were those from the professional service, public sector, utilities, and information technology and telecommunication industries.
National Beliawanis chief Tee Hooi Ling hoped local companies would identify their weaknesses and try to pull through the economic crisis by adopting a more efficient customer service.

Seminar organising chairman Jessica Lai May Kum said the talk drew more than 500 people.including doctors, nurses, and representatives from the hotel business, airlines, Transport Ministry and Human Resources Ministry.
