Life and Business

Sit in front of me, a close friend facing real deep business problem.. He looks very stressful that he did not say anything during his visit to my office. He even refused Stressedwhen I offered him to order lunch… “I feel numb… don’t have passion for food..”, he said. I kinda aware of his situation from everyone else but him before. His group of companies which employ more than 200 people in Jakarta and more in Surabaya is going down. No major business case happened since last year so cash flows were running slow and slower. Today, he confirmed what I heard elsewhere, that he already decided to sell the company’s 9 level building, as his last resort to keep the business running and all employee stay on board. Frankly, I have such similar problem… I’m not sure wether mine are worse or lighter than his. The outstanding debts are over 1,2 billions which is even me find it so hard to imagine that I have such a huge debt… probably you noticed that I am not a glamorous person who spend a lot on luxury stuff… I don’t even have much of anything from my spending… but daily consumption. However, it is not my only concern… the bigger problem is to maintain rational and stay alive… for those who relies on me.

future_aircraft

Ide 10yearsfromnow.com lahir di bakoel koffie barito… kira-kira hampir setahun yang lalu, pada saat kita lagi jenuh ngerjain program promo salah satu minuman dan balbalan.com (tidur juga sekarang). Bermula dari iseng nyari ide portal tetapi dimulai justru dari pencarian nama domain yang menarik. Pencarian nama domain yang menarik itu juga langsung diikuti dengan pengecekan availibility nya dengan bantuan N70 dan koneksi GPRS Indosat. Saya berpikir, sesuatu mengenai masa depan selalu menarik buat orang banyak, bahkan untuk sebagian orang menjadi sangat menarik.. bukan hanya inovasi saja melainkan trend atau konsekuensi dari perilaku manusia hari ini tentunya akan membawa perubahan di masa depan… contohnya: global warming…

Berimajinasi mengenai masa depan adalah bagian dari subconcious semua orang, begitulah premis dari ide portal ini.

SHOW ME THE MONEYYY!!!!!

Does the title remind you of something? The phrase was shouted by Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire Movie (Gooding role part was a football player which represented by Tom Cruise as his agent). In this movie the phrase shouted first by Gooding to gain better respective cooperation from his agent (Cruise) and then he also ask his agent to yell it out as well; a mellodrama happened because at the very moment Cruise were losing every other client.nigerian dollar Talk about showing the money… Muswardi and me agreed that we will strictly yell-out "show me the money!!!" to our potential clients during this hardbreathing moment. We think, it is our right to yell out such phrase since we always yelled by our vendor and partners. show me the money!!!! However… It will pass once we can have a normal mode moneyflow (not cashflow) to our pockets.

Call Center and CRM

sekitar enam tahun lalu, CRM adalah makanan sehari-hari pico dan tim nya… bikin call center outsourcing service ditunjang IT yang terkini sudah jadi impian sejak masih di batcave (2002 – 2003), tapi apa daya memang kesempatannya belum ada.. sudah belajar ini itu, sudah nanya ke sana kemari untuk beberapa perangkat yang memungkinkan call menjadi lebih murah… belum ngerti juga sih sebenernya…. hari ini kesempatan itu ada, sudah siap untuk diambil… investasi relatif bisa dipegang…� sayang ilmunya sudah ketinggaloan zaman… jadi mesti diupdate lagi dech.. CRM ternyata tidak dijalankan full di komputer dan media komunikasi lainnya, justru untuk kasus consumer goods aktivitas komunikasi user-brands tidak difasilitasi oleh komputer. Hanya saja semua aktifitas tersebut tercatat dengan baik dalam sebuah database yang pada akhirnya dapat menampilkan report yang dibutuhkan. anyway… mungkin yang saya sebut di atas juga masih salah… mari belajar lagi….

Draka – NET meeting

The 3rd week of this February was period of new experiences for me as a businessman. Two gentlemen from Netherland visit us for exploration of mutual beneficial partnership, focused on opportunities in Palapa Rings Project.

They are : Hans Schwirtz from Draka Comteq bv Draka

Theo van der Hagen from PIM bv also NTCS NTCS

These two guys were very nice and really professional in what they do. Both also already familiar with Indonesia. Even Theo previous experiences, assigned several times by KPN to do consulting services for Telkomsel and PT Telkom. and of course I represent my own company LogoNET

There was no final result on this meeting since there was no minimum expectation set. We are happy to know each other, be friend and that would be the best foundation for next level opportunities. For me… there's significant progress going on. As in my objective, leverage my leadership to the next level. :-)

Scary Internet (jerkophobia)

My comment about sahabatnestle.co.id regarding NET's introduction at Nestle office, Thursday, November 17, 2006
They were afraid when interactivity feature unmoderated. They think that someone will say a bad thing about the product or someone will upload adult material.
I say, that as the web owner we always can trash offensive content at anytime. But to fear that might happen is ridiculous since the internet is the most democratic area for everyone to say just about anything.
I think it's about wisdom to be exist on the internet or not. If one big brand like nestle does not ready, better be not exist at all. Unilever seems adopted such policy for they don't have enough resources to manage very intensive image fluctuation.
 
is it safe for them forever? definitely not! soon they will found a blog post says very bad thing about one of their brand. How that can be happen? How to respond? Have you hear that dancow could kill? of course it could kill when one got hit very hard in the softer area of the head by its can… Did you hear that dove is a popular jerk off tool?
Have wisdom to face every new changes in life is the best ethical way to survive the life…
