There are of course some directives of certain ways to deliver the products.<br /><br />Once, someone deliver the product it is considered good. Not one ask if it is more effective than other products.<br /><br />Of course, we cannot based everything on sales results, but I always believe there must be some value add even if not "increased sales"<br /><br />I have a colleague who asked me for<br />Permission to skip certain product delivery. I ask, so what are u going to replace? <br /><br />He say er... I say cannot be nothing. He did mention his concept, I have him some feedbacks, but ask him to review the results as that is the best feedback. <br /><br />Also, the people behind the delivery of products is more important that the delivery process or product, but I saw trend of product over people. <br /><br />The verification should be more on the person.

Trust but verify! <br /><br /><br />Apply it to our investing that's where the real fireworks start! LOL!<br /><br />Offer me land banking or fine wine investments? Eh... But I've no clue where to begin my verifications.... <br /><br />Better stay out unless I know a lot about land or zoning development (not residential property investing OK?) or connoisseur wine collecting (it's more closer to stamps and coin collecting than wine appreciation) .<br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-24513236953706189982014-06-23T17:33:43.543+08:002014-06-23T17:33:43.543+08:00Hi SMOL
