Throughout these three days, the other learners have also shared their issues with what they are dealing with at work and it has provided an insightful discussion as we all get to learn from it. The knowledge gained has enabled me to handle future issues better should any arise. I highly recommend others to attend!"

The map is handy when I am trying to enhance their experience with us. By having a complete picture of what the customer go through, I can better relate and smoothen the process of interacting with my company. I believe that I can now make the customer journey better with us and as a result improving sales volume."

With all the new theories and information shared during class, the facilitator uses all the examples of case studies and real life experiences. This makes the material easily digestible. He really delivered it really well, engaging everyone as their eyes are glued throughout the entire class. I will definitely apply what I have learnt to my work, creating the best experience for my customers. Thumbs up!"
Zhang Shushan, Accounts Executive

"The Experience Track is well planned and structured. The trainer brought us on a journey and we learnt how to deliver exceptional service at the emotional level as emotions directly impacts customers overall experience with the company. It was interesting as we started with learning the theories on our human mind which is important as it helps in the incorporation of stimulus to evoke positive and right emotions for the customer service journey. During the course, it was amazing to hear from our course mate who shared how he turned a negative business deal to a successful one via creating the customer persona. This shows how important and useful the creating of customer persona is as it combines attributes such as understanding the needs, motivations, expectations and behaviors of customers so that we can paint an accurate picture of customers wants and needs.I also enjoyed the case study on designing and customizing of customer service journey via a few stages, the touchpoints, customers’ thoughts, feelings and what positive and negative experiences occurred so that improvements can be made. Delivering good customer service is not enough; we should deliver exceptional service! Thank you to our trainer and his team from Universal Stage."

Transforming Enterprise Module 2: Negotiate
"We have always been negotiating throughout our lives. Andy has made it more structured and easier for us to understand our existing negotiation skills / style. By understanding ourselves better and learning new negotiation skills, we get to improve our confidence levels. Also, improve our chances of success when we are involved in negotiations. Rather than explaining negotiation theories, Andy focuses on daily application and examples. Thus, making it very easy for us to understand and apply the new skills. I would highly recommend this programme for all to attend!"
Dr Garrie Giam, Director

"As a returning learner for the RESULTS programme, I can proudly say that the programme has proven so beneficial to both my work and personal life. In the new Negotiate Track, I learnt new negotiation techniques like BATNA and the method to bargaining, getting the best deal possible. The knowledge imparted from our trainer, Andy Lim, has definitely made me more confident in my negotiation skills. The real life examples given during the class has made negotiation more relevant than ever. These skills and knowledge gained from over the course of three days can help me collaborate with more potential clients in the future."
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"The Negotiate Track has taught me that it is necessary to prepare and have a strong Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement before entering into a negotiation. At the end of the day, negotiation is a multi party discussion. There is a need to actively listen to other participants sharing so as to understand matters from their perspective. The Track has empowered me to better lead my team to greater heights, this is a Track not to be missed and I highly recommend everyone to come and learn the art of negotiation."
Daniel Poon, General Manager
Wholesale Trade Industry
"The Negotiate Track reshaped my perception of everyday negotiation. It taught me practical and applicable techniques which I can utilize to approach new customers, control the conversation and most importantly to achieve a mutually beneficial deal out of the discussion. I finally understood what it means to keep things up my sleeve in a negotiation and to never be too desperate in securing projects. Negotiation is an everyday task. In every conversation there is always a negotiation going on. Moving forward, I believe I am now better equip to achieve higher sales for my company."
Ken Lee, Sales Engineer
Wholesale Trade Industry
"The whole Negotiate Track was truly enlightening as I have learnt many things. One of the many things I have learnt is the way to negotiate and how to position yourself better when negotiating. As this is my first time attending this Track, I was genuinely pleased to have Mr Andy Lim as my facilitator as he is not only truly knowledgeable but have many relevant experiences to share with us. As my jobscope mostly revolves around doing sales, it is of utmost importance to know how to deal with customers, distributors and superiors. These soft skills learnt will definitely push me to be better in the future."
Tony Goh, Sales Account Manager
Building and Construction Industry
"Through this Negotiation Track, I learnt that Negotiation is an art. It is not restricted to only the realm of sales but also in everyday conversation. The skills and techniques taught in the class can be used in our daily lives. It can be used not only with clients but also with family and friends. The Negotiation Track taught me to look out for key areas when I am in a discussion with a potential client in order to achieve a higher rate of conversation. This truly enlightened me on the importance of negotiation and its impact in our lives. A must attend for all!"
Elson Low, Director
Furniture Rental Industry
"From the Negotiate Track, I have learnt the various methods of negotiation skills and how to tackle/handle them based on different scenarios/situations. Proper preparation is important in the process of negotiation so as to better understand the other party's needs and wants. The skills which I have learnt will be beneficial to my everyday life which involves handling customers, bargaining for best deals and to avoid any conflict or argument in the midst of any negotiation with family members, because at the end of the day we just want to close the deal without offending/hurting anyone emotionally. At work, I often have to chase the outstanding accounts from clients. Despite many reminders we are still unable to retrieve the bad debts and we have to resort to nasty comments/actions taken. Now, I know that there are alternative ways to tackle this through the skills that I have learnt from the Negotiation Training."
Zhang Shushan, Accounts Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"As expected, the RESULTS programme never disappoints. I have been enrolled in other different Tracks from the programme itself and there are always key takeaways applicable to my personal and working life. This time, the Negotiate Track taught me the different ways of negotiating such as the integrative and the distributive method. What benefitted me from the Track is the exposure gained whilst the trainer, Andy Lim, imparted insightful knowledge to us. This allowed me to understand questions posed by the clients so I can better negotiate with them. Sales is my main job responsibility. Through this Track, I am able to better prepare better prior to meeting clients, therefore understanding them from their standpoint. This will allow me to get a better deal and close the deal effectively and promptly."
Mike Lim, Sales Manager
Furniture Rental Industry
"Almost every conversation could be a form of negotiation. That is my biggest takeaway from the Negotiation Track. When I understood what is at stake in every conversation, it is critical to think before I speak as words cannot be taken back once spoken. There is a need to be tactful as some of the topics discussed can be sensitive. An example of which would be the discussion of salaries at a job interview or even over a problem encountered at work. We always need to prepare before entering any form of negotiation to give us a higher chance of achieving the best outcome for everyone. Preparation enables us to carefully choose the right technique to utilize in the conversation, making it easier for us to control the flow of the conversation, gaining the upper hand."
Marcus Han, Warehouse Supervisor
Furniture Rental Industry
"Attending the negotiation training has expanded my knowledge in the art of negotiating. I have grasp the different strategies used and know how to better prepare myself for important negotiating sessions. Through the knowledge imparted from our well-versed trainer, Andy Lim, I found out the importance of keeping an open mind and understanding that not all negotiation needs to end in a win-lose situation. We have to explore other possibilities together to realise each other's shared interests. These skills taught are very relatable to my daily work. When having to negotiate an important deal with our clients, there is an alternative to discuss bigger possibilities such as future collaborations other than just giving discounts to build a long term relationship."

Transforming Enterprise Module 4: Present
"Though it is only a two days training programme, the Present Track have taught me a lot on how to conduct a better presentation. I have also learnt the proper steps to take prior to giving a final presentation, regardless to potential clients or my employees. This Present Track allowed me to refresh and fine-tune all of my presentation skills, benefitting me especially during work since I have to conduct presentations every quarterly. I recommend this programme for all to attend!"
Daniel Poon, General Manager
Wholesale Trade Industry
"One of key things I have learnt from the Present Track is to knowing how to break my presentation into parts. For example, it is important to know how to prepare and start a presentation, then breaking it down into different segments. Apart from that, the pointers shared throughout the presentation must always be backed up and proven with facts. To further improve my presentation skills, I have made it a point to practice it with others. This Present Track has definitely benefitted me. In the past, I am always not prepared before conducting presentations. I do not even know how to deliver my points across. I have always made great emphasis on my pointers and even have a script to read from. Now that I know better, I learnt that audience engagement is as imperative to make a presentation great. I can also use these new found skills when introducing my company to new and existing clients."
Ken Lee, Sales Engineer
Wholesale Trade Industry
"This Present Track has enlightened me in a way where I now can understand and create proper content for presentations. Through this, I know how to work my way around to drive interest, keeping my audience immersed and engaged in my presentations. Understanding the art of presenting is as important too as it helps getting the message across the board. Having good presentation skills can definitely help boost my confidence when presenting. These skills come in exceptionally handy when I am in a conference or I am having a face-to-face meeting with clients. I recommend this programme to all."
Elson Low, Director
Furniture Rental Industry
"I never knew there was so much to learn about presentations. The knowledge gained from this Present Track aided me in structuring my presentation effectively with the layout provided by the trainer. It helps me plan out presentations from introduction to conclusion. Prior to this Present Track, I never knew that I can prepare my presentations in this manner. Being able to properly sort out the content of my presentation in a structured way allows me to have more confidence in presenting it to my audience. Applying these skills back to work, the Present Track has taught me the need to be well prepared before meeting potential clients. Some preparation work includes simplifying and focusing on important pointers prior to conveying message to these clients. A highly recommended Present Track to sign up for!"
Zhang Shushan, Accounts Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"No doubt coming up with a presentation and presenting in front of people is something many can do. But there is a clear distinction between a bad presentation, a good presentation and a presentation that lingers in the memory of the audiences. This Present Track I have enrolled for taught me the different ways to present in front of people. Another thing to definitely note are the steps to take in order to prepare for a presentation. Gaining these skills has given me more confidence in terms of presenting since I am now equipped with the knowledge to conduct a good presentation. I know which are the key areas to look out for to keep my audience engaged, at the same time getting my point across. I can easily relate this to my day-to-day work as I know how to prepare in advance should I have meetings with clients."
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"This Present Track has boosted my confidence level in presenting as I have now learnt to plan and construct an effective presentation. I used to fear not being able to deliver my message well to my intended audiences, but with the new skill set I have gained, I will definitely make sure to practice and hone it well eventually. Now, I am more prepared when presenting to clients for different projects. I also know how to arrange my presentations so that I can bring the points across better. This allows the clients to grasp and comprehend my pointers with ease."
Mike Lim, Sales Manager
Furniture Rental Industry
"After attending the Present Track, I have learnt so much about formal and informal presentation, the ways to approach different topics and the importance of preparation. Using an insurance agent as an example, he needs to be well prepared to explain the points he is bringing across to his clients in detail. Both parties should also be able to see from each other’s point of view, making sure that they have a common end goal. The knowledge gained from the Present Track are applicable to my job. It increases the efficiency rate in sharing ideas with others. As a Warehouse Supervisor, I constantly have the need to find and arrange for more storage space. With these new skills gained, I can write up a proposal and present it effectively to convince the other party on the changes. I definitely recommend others to attend!"
Marcus Han, Warehouse Supervisor
Furniture Rental Industry
"My biggest takeaway from the Present Track would be the need to plan before every presentation. A normal preparation would constitute planning for what to say and what to show during the presentation. However, we can strive to be better by analysing our audiences to better cater our presentation in order to achieve the most optimal RESULTS. I stand to gain when my presentation is interesting and not dull or boring as it will ingrain my idea into the audiences’ memory. Nothing is more satisfying than a successful pitch in any presentation. A big thank you to the lead facilitator in equipping me with these presentation skills which will stay with me throughout my career. I believe that I am capable of performing better in my marketplace with these new skills, getting better RESULTS out of every presentation. "
Low Pei Hong, Officer
Furniture Rental Industry
"Presentation has grown to become a norm in our corporate lives. Hence, the need to execute it well is critical. The content delivered was most importantly practical in essence. It was able to communicate complicated concepts into layman terms which aided in understanding. The facilitator stood out from the rest as he was excellent in not only conveying the main learning points of the track but also delivering it in an engaging way for his learners. With my presentation skills sharpened, I look forward in utilising them to achieve better RESULTS for my company and myself. A must not miss for anyone serious about climbing the corporate ladder."

Growing Enterprise Module 1: Strategy
"The Strategy Track taught me how to tap on the company's Vision, Mission and Values to craft the company strategy. Only when we do things that are aligned, we can attain maximum RESULTS. Having a clear strategy can go a long way as it aids everyone in the company to understand why we are doing what we are doing. This not only creates motivated employees, it also creates a sense of belonging as everyone is clear of their role and purpose in making the company function."
Beh Keng Siong Ignatius, SGUS Learner
"I deeply appreciate the lead facilitator’s authenticity in conducting the lesson. He shared passionately and provided his own personal experience in life to help make the lessons more applicable and easier to understand. Strategy creation is something very complicated but the Strategy Track has equipped me with tools to help make the process easier and more efficient. I am confident that now I can perform better in my work through enhancing work processes, achieving better RESULTS."
Lim Siyuan, SGUS Learner
"I will hold the lessons and skills I learnt from the Strategy Track dear to my heart. The lessons are not only engaging but most importantly applicable to my own work as it helps me see the bigger picture and loopholes which I can improve on to achieve better RESULTS. I am looking forward to my next few modules with Universal Stage and moving forward, I am confident that the RESULTS programme is sure to enhance my capabilities as an individual and help me see greater RESULTS in work and in life."
Shong Raymond Ralph Chong Han, SGUS Learner
"The Strategy Track has helped me gain a better understanding of the SWOT analysis methodology. Previously, I was leveraging this method of analysis however the class has deepened my understanding on how to accurately utilise this analysis such that I could get much more information out of it. By not seeing it as a lone analysis but rather linking it to the various objectives and goals of the company. In the current fast changing landscape due to the COVID pandemic, the SWOT analysis has provided me with a better understanding and view of the situation so that I could use the right strategy to achieve the best RESULT."
Goh Swee Yee, Catherine, Assistant General Manager
Beauty Industry
"Learning how to strategize accordingly regardless in work or in my personal life is one of the key things I have taken away from this Strategy Track. I am able to cultivate this to my daily needs. After this Strategy Track, I went back home to brainstorm the different areas which I need to focus on. With the new skills taught, I began analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the various areas in my life. I am confident that I can put it to practise and see things at a bigger and clearer picture now. Thank you for an opportunity to learn and I strongly recommend it with my friends and tell them about this programme, The RESULTS programme."
Leona Zarifah Mohamed Sofi, Customer Service Assistant
Beauty Industry
"The Strategy Track has enabled me to effectively identify and determine the lifetime value of customers. By knowing their value, I can adjust my strategy in order to deliver the highest possible level of RESULTS. Planning is fundamental in all that we do. With a good strategy, that is already half the battle won. Now, I am confident that I can better lead and communicate ideas to my team, ensuring that productivity is maximised as well as playing to the strength of respective individuals in order to deliver better RESULTS."
Tiew Luan Suan, Valerie, Branch Manager
Beauty Industry
"The Strategy Track enabled me to develop my own personal mission, vision and values. With a better understanding of myself, I am able to set and achieve my goals with a clearer plan. The beauty of this class is that not only is it applicable in my workplace, it is also applicable in my own life. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Strategy is indeed critical in all that we do, If we want to see higher RESULTS in our life, we have to become a better strategist. I highly encourage everyone to attend this so as to be able to unlock the potential they have within! "
Azhar Bin Rahmat, Project Manager
Pest Control Industry
"After the three-day class, I find the Balanced Scorecard is the best approach to use. I will apply what I have learnt – from doing the PEST analysis, SWOT analysis, identifying the current to future state, formulating the strategic objectives, selecting the KPIs to the designing of action plan at work. Initially I thought I could do it quick but I realized that enough time has to be allocated to do a good job. So I plan to use 7 weeks to come out with the initial actionable and strategic map. The guided template given at the class will be very helpful to facilitate the entire process."
Philip Chua, Vice President of Sales
IT Industry
"I graduated with a degree in business management and I have learnt all the theories. However, this Strategy class opens my eyes on how to really manage a business. The class tells us exactly what we have to do in a guided manner, points out when we should do and how we should go about doing so. In the next few weeks, I am going to relook the foundation of my business, what have gone wrong, how we may streamline our products to target at our customers specifically so as to reach them in a more effective manner. I am glad that I was given an opportunity to work on the Value Curve in front of the class. Thanks to the class and Andy for sharing your true views. I will continue working on the Value Curve to find out the competitive advantage of my business."
Kevin Cheng, Asst Manager of Business Development
Pest Control Industry
"Strategy is a set of long-term choices undertaken by company based on competitive advantage.” I am asking myself what is the competitive advantage that our company has. It is important to find out our Red Ocean and Blue Ocean and design a new Purple Ocean using the Value Curve. It is not easy but I determine to complete this. We want to be different in the eyes of customers and we want to be the game changer."
Francis Tan, Sales Director
Food Manufacturing Industry
"I have been wanting to set up a company specialising in bringing local businesses to venture into Vietnam as part of their expansion plans. This Strategy module sets me thinking in identifying my value proposition to my target customers. Also, I have made up my mind in setting up this business and make it real."
Edwin Tan, Business Development Director
Floral Wholesaler Industry
"Based on my years of observation, I noticed that failure of many companies was not due to their wrongdoings but rather they have been doing the same old things with no change made even the environment has changed so much. The various analysis, i.e. PEST, SWOT, competitive analysis, taught in class are very critical in allowing us understand the external environment that we are operating in."
Geoffry, Financial Controller
Cigarette Distributor Industry
"Company’s strategic direction is not dictated by only one person, rather it is the effort of a team that is able to contribute their inputs that best direct the company forward. I, as a HR, play a critical role in getting the right people with right skills and setting the right culture for strategy implementation."
Chen Jinfeng, HR & Admin Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"I attended all four tracks of the programme and this strategy development is the most complex for me, especially the alignment of the enterprise vision to the perspectives in financial, customer, processes and growth. These broad and holistic areas are not what I am familiar with. Andy the facilitator noticed the challenge I am facing and redirected my focus to my personal aspects - the vision for my family and I was then able to craft out a vision for my daughter to be the Musician that can let others “feel the music” and the Mission of “playing music as a game to so as to let audiences have fun.” Subsequently, I am able to understand and work out the vision for the enterprise I work in. The facilitators' ability to work out something adhoc, without advance notice and on the spot for me, even showing me videos of Gustavo Dudamel is great. The assistance for me to see the integration of work and life is incredible. This ability to make difficult things become easy is simply eye opening."
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"Company’s strategic direction is not dictated by only one person, rather it is the effort of a team that is able to contribute their inputs that best direct the company forward. I, as a HR, play a critical role in getting the right people with right skills and setting the right culture for strategy implementation."
Evelyn Lee, Assistant General Manager
Service Industry
"The materials taught in this Strategy module are very practical, realistic and close to the real situation any company would be in, especially the SMEs. As CEO of my company, I find Andy’s great experiences and his way of delivery very helpful to allow learners at different position levels to understand what strategy is and how each of them can play a role in the strategy development and implementation in their own area of work. We are now in talk with Andy to enroll our employees for the four modules under this RESULTS programme."
Kelvin Ong, CEO
Food Manufacturing Industry
"This three-day of Strategy module sets me think deeper. My day to day focus at work now seems like more on solving problems and issues. However these three days made me realized that I need to think and plan more to ensure our unit direction is in line with the overall corporate strategy. Each supporting unit should have its own strategy towards achievement of the business objectives."
Yen Yen, Business Support Manager
Service Industry
"Many principles learnt at class are not just applicable to work but also applicable to personal life. In class, Andy shared about the concept of competitive advantage. I was asked what my personal competitive advantage is. I shared in class that being meticulous is my competitive advantage. Andy asked how I could strengthen it as competitive advantage has to be something that can be continuously improved on. I had no idea and Andy asked me to think about it. To my surprise, Andy brought the “colored rice” the next day to class. The activity is to sort the “colored rice” according to the color as a way of sustaining and continuing my competitive advantage. The part on vision, mission and values also set me thinking of our current version on where is the critical focus point."
Joyce Lo, Accountant
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"We were asked to think of each of our personal competitive advantage in class. I shared that my competitive advantage is problem solving. I am able to solve difficult problems. The next step I am going to take is continuously improving in this area to strengthen it further."
Goi Hidekazu, Assistant Sales Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"Value proposition is to occupy a distinctive place in the mind of targeted customer. I was asked what my value proposition to my wife is. When I reached home after the class, I explained and posted the question to her, she told me my value proposition to her is “filial piety”."
Kenny Loh, Account & Office Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"After attending the Strategy Module, it helps me to learn and understand the importance of seizing market opportunities by making the choices that differentiate us from the competitors. It's not about competing with the competitors or trying to be the best, but UNIQUE. It truly opens my eyes on the importance of Vision, Mission and Value of an organisation. It gives me a purpose of me serving the company by fulfilling and doing my role well in the company. Personally, I love the Value Curve as it is truly important to find out our Red Ocean & blue Ocean to create a Purple Ocean, so we can better understand the consumers’ behaviour. By doing so, it gives a better idea of the balance scorecard to formulate a strategic objective to track progress and drive SUCCESS. Lastly, thank you Mr Andy and his team for imparting us with ALL his fruitful experiences and knowledge without any reserves."
Chia Jiawen, Marketing Executive
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"Attending this course has really helped to enlighten me on many concepts that I heard about, particularly on the balance scorecard. I have been in the company that implemented this. I saw the results but I did not know that so much thought and works have gone into it. Having the exercises in class really helps to nail down and pin down what is the vision and mission of the company. More often than not, companies just either have somebody to do it for them or don’t even pin it down. I feel this framework will be very beneficial for my company to look into areas that we need to improve on and ultimately how to link it up. I will take this back to my organisation and see how or where the resources shall be pumped into to improve on the processes and culture that need to be changed."
Bianca Teo, Marketing Communications Manager

"Mission is about getting the core purpose of why the business exists. If we can get the purpose of what we are doing, the steps and words deployed in each task and processes can be flexible."
Doris Leong, Accountant
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"One of the activities in class is to identify the competitive advantage, vision, mission and values. Through this activity, this is the first time I worked out my personal competitive advantage, vision, mission and values as a property agent. These have provided me even clearer picture and focus for my career."
Alvin Cheong, Associate Division Director

"I love the explanation on the key performance indicators. Andy used simple illustration of a journey from Singapore to KL to explain the concept of indicators."
Patricia Sim
"I wanted to start a wedding planning company since young. Recently, I was helping a friend for his wedding preparation. There are really many things to be handled. Even at the last minute, the vendors are calling him for confirmation, payment and etc. That even made me more determined to run a wedding planning company that provide hassle free service so the couple can enjoy this special moment. In the class, I craft out the vision of my “future” company - It's your wedding, enjoy it!"

"I attended the SMU Growing Enterprise Module 1: Strategy Development on 22 Oct 2019. At first, I was skeptical of this course but in less than 30 minutes, the lecturer Mr Andy Lim has proved me wrong. His knowledge on the topic taught was fantastic as he and his team made a tremendous effort of the topic and of course the course materials was totally easy to understand especially for student of mid age like me. As you know, when we talk about business strategy, usually lecturer would use very chimp jargon words or speech. But not for him. With his style and lingo in teaching & sending the message across to the audience, he was always patient in explaining the "Secret to the Strategy of a Business Growth". He will bring himself down to our level so as to make all of us understand. He created jokes at times has never made the 3 days lesson dry. I had never understood better on how to create a better Vision & Mission Statement for a company without him. He goes deep to teach us on how to find the core of it. He made us cracked our brain on how to discover formula on this issue. Every time he explained on the challenges faced by SME, he will use real life examples and it always remind me of the past mistakes I made before as an entrepreneur. His explanation on 'Purple Ocean strategy' was none than the best. He does remind us to always be honest to ourselves in creating one best formula for our business. Just before the end of the course, I had actually found some light in the dark tunnel. With the equipped knowledge past down to me by Mr Andy, I truly believe that I will make it one day. Without him realising it, he has built up my confidence and self-esteem high. Why? Because the knowledge and experience taught was superb! Without the best knowledge, one won't be having a true confidence to make it happen. As Ms Selina mentioned to me personally just before the lesson, "Be positive" and you will make it! My dearest thanks and gratitude to SMU and staffs of Universal Stage for organising such an awesome course. To Mr Andy Lim, I wish that his contributions and vision will one day be able to lead the true Singapore Entrepreneur Spirits as he is a real Singapore Entrepreneur Guru!"
Hairuzzan, Director

"As a newbie in the working environment and with background of fashion design, strategy is an “alien” word to me. I thought it will be very difficult to understand and wonder it will be useful. Actually, strategy is about alignment, aligning the four perspectives to reach company’s purpose statement. Now I am able to relate and align to management directions."
Adriana, Operations Executive

"I love the idea of the site visit. It sets us into the real context that allows us to apply what we have learnt in class into practice with a step-by-step workbook as guidance."

Growing Enterprise Module 2: People
"The People Track offered me a new perspective when looking at time and self-management. When I better understand myself, I can better work together with others as I know what works for me and what doesn't. In any situation, teamwork is of utmost importance to see a successful RESULT. Looking back, I am heartened that I enrolled for the People Track as education is a lifelong journey and this track has shaped me into a better person and unlocked a better version of life for me. A must not miss for anyone!
Oon Keat Lee, Joseph,Graphic Designer
Spa Industry
"The People Track has taught me how I should set my work goals and my mind straight, making sure I keep up to my performance consistently. I am more driven to set targets for myself at work. One thing the facilitator said was "If you do not do beyond your best, than how do you know your best?" That is the main sentence that hit me. I have benefited a lot actually and I wish to still be given the opportunity to take up courses, solely focus on the course and help to benefit me at work. I feel like constructing plans and strategy is very important in the workforce, and it is also important to know my capabilities. Regardless if it is work or my personal life, I feel that building a strong rapport with colleagues is very important as we can upsell our product better with a great team working together. I definitely aiming to being a productive worker and being able to bring something to the table for my company. I know I have a lot of potential in myself and I want to strive for that and see in what areas I should focus on to improve myself. Thank you for a fun filled and knowledgeable lesson that I can definitely take away and put it to everyday use.”
Leona Zarifah Mohamed Sofi,Customer Service Assistant

"Setting the right goal will give me the necessary motivation when it comes to work. The People Track teaches us how to set the right goals in order to achieve my version of success. The key is to focus on myself. To become a better team player, a better employee, a superior or even a family member, it all boils down to becoming a better version of myself. This is definitely a programme not to be missed as it helps you to understand the key factors to success as well as increasing your awareness in working towards your definition of success. ”
Dong Mei Yan Andrea,Customer Service Assistant

"I love the activity on Making Choices. We tend to make each other happy at discussion but overlook the real objective of the discussion. At the end the company suffers. I learnt through the exercise that as a team, we need to focus on the objectives, be open to hear to each other ideas, practice supportive communication and reach to a conclusion meeting the intended objective. I will share my learnings with my team so we could use our discussion time more productive and with the right focus.”

"Our company is specialising in the supplier of seafood to hotels and restaurants. I am in charge of the business development and customers may call me anytime in the day to place order whenever I am. I love this new term that I learnt from this People module called " Work Life Integration". Yes I truly agree that we shall integrate our work with personal life. Inject fun elements into daily work to make it fun for myself and my team to sustain the productivity level. Work a little while away from holiday to avoid the piling up of work so I can ensure my positive energy built up during the holiday can be prolonged and will not be exhausted immediately after the holiday. I find the true "balance" when I integrate both work and life.”

"As a graphic designer, it is imperative that I am able to communicate my proposal well to my superiors and managers so that they can make better decisions for the company. The People Track has provided me the necessary skills to handle my superiors such that my proposals are more likely to be accepted by them. My biggest customer is none other than my direct superior, knowing how they work will allow me for better career progression. ”

One of my main takeaways would be the technique of effective communication. The People Track has helped me better communicate to my junior staff such that they understand my expectations as well as desires for work and for them. It is also of importance that I know how to present myself in order to be likeable and good connections always come in handy in unexpected times.”

"This class enlightens me that what we can do in personal life can be done at work too. I saw people who are good at work but having challenge in personal life, vice versa. As a sales person, I spend quality time talking with my customers so I shall spend more quality with my friends and family. At home, I give my love and care to my daughter. I shall apply this love and care to my customers to deepen the relationships with them. I can do well both at my work and life.”

"I learnt that First step to successful problem solving is to be able to diagnose the root cause of the issue. At workplace, I observe people tend to draw boundary. Most organisation will look at this symptom and go for team bonding activity and wishing that the people will bond thereafter. As a HR, I find this is a myth to break. I would say people behave so as they are defensive over their own boundaries. To break this, I would say the people have to build real trust among them to solve this challenge.”

"To increase productivity, we need to do the right things and do the things right. As the Executive Director, I am overseeing all companies under the Group. When I go back to office, I will get my people stop doing all the wrong things first. By doing so, we will not waste our productive time and have resources savings. Thereafter we can identify the right things to do to bring better results for company.”

"The “Say Yes” activity is very interesting. It is right that in our daily life we seldom say yes to other. When we are able to say Yes, people around us also tend to say yes to us more. It’s a positive influence to each other.”

"This People module is very interesting. A variety of activities were being used in the class to share and explain different learning pointers. Those activities are practical and helpful in grasping the essential of those key pointers. I enjoyed those activities very much as they help in my learning over the three days.”
Patricia Sim
"I am currently looking for new employment. Practicing supportive communication is one key area that I need to make improvement on. After years of working in the field, I realized that I sometimes may overlook the emotion and feeling of people working around me as too much focus was being placed on getting the work done in tight schedule. I am going to constantly remind myself in this perspective when I get into my new job.”

"After attending the class, I am now able to link my experiences, strengths, skills, beliefs, interests and proudest achievement together to form my personal unique positioning statement. This allows me to understand myself better and let people to know me as who I am. This helps me build up my confidence and I will share with my boss when I get back to work. So I can contribute more to company with my experiences and strengths. I have been to multiple courses like this before, but this course has been the best as it really requires your full attention and has a balance of theories and activities. Andy the facilitator is a very energetic and pleasant individual. He is super approachable and always ready to engage in a conversation whatever he may be busy in. The real world examples are very relatable and help us understand easier.”
Yasir, Operations Executive

"I love to attend Andy’s class as he always share the real things. We have to bear in mind the competition in this real world and be productive as an united team. One thing that I need to immediately apply is Listening. I never listen to my staff. I will cut them off within 7 seconds. I will tell them what I want and ask them to just follow. Moving on, I will listen to my staff’s ideas and suggestions. They are on the ground. Listening to them will help me make improvements, build a harmonious team and bring better results for my division."
Suradi, Sales Manager

"The People Track offered me a new perspective when looking at time and self-management. When I better understand myself, I can better work together with others as I know what works for me and what doesn't. In any situation, teamwork is of utmost importance to see a successful RESULT. Looking back, I am heartened that I enrolled for the People Track as education is a lifelong journey and this track has shaped me into a better person and unlocked a better version of life for me.

"The People Track has taught me how I should set my work goals and my mind straight, making sure I keep up to my performance consistently. I am more driven to set targets for myself at work. One thing the facilitator said was "If you do not do beyond your best, than how do you know your best?" That is the main sentence that hit me. I have benefited a lot actually and I wish to still be given the opportunity to take up courses, solely focus on the course and help to benefit me at work. I feel like constructing plans and strategy is very important in the workforce, and it is also important to know my capabilities. Regardless if it is work or my personal life, I feel that building a strong rapport with colleagues is very important as we can upsell our product better with a great team working together. I definitely aiming to being a productive worker and being able to bring something to the table for my company. I know I have a lot of potential in myself and I want to strive for that and see in what areas I should focus on to improve myself. Thank you for a fun filled and knowledgeable lesson that I can definitely take away and put it to everyday use."

Growing Enterprise Module 3: Customer
"Understanding our customer's service journey is very important. These touch points are key moments we express our brand as a service provider and also opportunities to impress and delight customers. In this world of digitalisation, we need to nurture and grow our loyal customers to be our ambassadors to spread the excellent word of mouth. Thank you Andy & team for the specially curated RESULTS programme which is pivotal to help Mary Chia to enhance our service journey to bring our customer's wellness experience to greater heights.”

Chee Yong, Group IT & Data Security Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"We often look at companies and customers as technical or functional. Through the class, I realized that we have neglected that people as people that they need to be related to, each has their preference and requirements, likes and dislikes. I will engage my customers more to understand their preferences, get their feedback after purchase so we can provide better service to them."
Kevin Cheng, Asst Manager of Business Development
Pest Control Industry
"I am so touched. This Customer module is my fourth and last module. The organizer Universal Stage really goes the extra mile to make their teachings real. They live up to their promise of providing excellent customer service. I am having a bad cough. The facilitator brings me his home grown bualonglong and guides me how to make a drink that is good for my throat. I get better after the drink and can sleep at night without waking up. As a senior HR, I would recommend this entire RESULTS programme to all enterprises.”

"We are in the seafood distribution business. I am in charge of the Business Development. I face different types of customers and situations everyday, both internal and external. After today's lesson, I know how to manage the different type of customers. I should help customers who have difficulty in making choices by asking them questions to help them focus and narrow down the options. I also realized that the service team has to work together to manage more difficult cases. It is especially true in the case of facing violent customers. We have to find reason to excuse ourselves or help our colleague to be out from that moment and seek support.”
Faye Chen, Business Development Executive
Seafood Industry
"Starting a day with sharing of happy news that we have experienced the day before is great. Happy employees create happy customers experiences. An idea that I can bring back to office and apply with my colleagues. Appreciating your workers with words and show your appreciation with little gifts or snacks is an excellent way to build lasting relationships!"
Andy Goh, Manager
Air Conditioning Industry
"I am a restaurant manager for Central Thai. From the class, I learnt that understanding and focusing on the emotion of customers is very important. I need to let our customers feel the warmth and welcome when they visit my outlet. To do so, it has to start from myself being a joyful role model for my team so they are also in the joyful mode to serve our customers. Mr Andy is very professional and his team will follow up by calling after the course. I would like to say “Thank you” to them."
Bobby Tan, Assistant Manager
F&B Industry
"This is the third module I have attended under RESULTS programme. This module is on Customer. I have learnt a lot. One secrets of customer service I learnt is on Showing Appreciation. I would like to appreciate my lady boss for sending me to this RESULTS programme. Saying thank you is not enough, I will buy a bouquet of flower and give her when I go back to work."
Claire Chua, HR Manager

"The first day of the lesson strike me as I never considered my friends, families and colleagues around me as customers. I always thought the paying customers are my customers. With this understanding, I can manage everyone with improved service and build long term relationship.”
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive

"I am the outlet manager of an aesthetic clinic, Scinn at Orchard. Through the role play, the facilitator Andy pointed out that I tend to speak too much and without getting customer to share their requirements. Being in sales for years, I acknowledge that I have this challenge that I need to overcome. I will ask more questions to get customers to share more about themselves so that I can serve my customers well and achieve better sales.”
Crystal Tham, Sales Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"I did the role play in the class. This role play allows me to experience the reality and I realized many of those theories learnt in the past are in fact no longer applicable as those are theories that are not implementable. “Perfect practice makes perfect 練習は嘘をつかない”. Excellent customer service complements my sales process.”
Goi Hidekazu, Assistant Sales Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"After attending the Customer module, I realise that there are much more depth in customer service that I have to know. It is actually indeed a great class to attend to improve service skills. Customers nowadays are smarter and we have to strategize and use the right ways to serve our customers properly. I am now applying what I have learnt in the class at my daily work. As a working “newbie”, this class has taught me what I exactly need to perform to enhance my service performance, to both my internal and external customers.”
Adriana, Operations Executive
Fashion Industry
"Indeed it is a need to stay focus on the positive things as what Andy has shared in class. There are too many obstacles we face everyday and are never ending. So I always look at the positive side and focus on my positive emotions.”
Hafidz, Assistant Operations Manager
F&B Industry
"I am a restaurant manager working for Central Thai restaurant at East Coast Park. We are so accustomed to say sorry to customers whenever there is a queue at a restaurant. Sometimes, it just becomes a habit to say sorry before saying anything to customer. At class, Andy has enlightened me that there is no need to apologize. That’s true. It should be a happy thing when our restaurant is full. Instead of saying sorry, I shall say “our restaurant is full at the moment. Would you mind waiting for X mins?” I will share this with my crew.”
Rahman, Restaurant Manager
F&B Industry
"I am working in an event company. One of my job responsibilities is to contact customer to deliver the props for setting up the venue. Often, I encountered customers who speak to me very rudely. After the class, now I can relate their emotion and speak to them correctly. “I am here to work with you to ensure the on time delivery to meet the completion schedule, pls let me know when it is good to talk to you again”! When I can relate my customers’ emotion, I can also regulate my own emotion. I look forward to attend other modules so I can give the best customer experience.”
Yasir, Operations Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"I find the programme is useful and pragmatic. It reminds me not to become a “zombie” at work, manage my emotion well regardless of the situations and also provide excellent customer service not just to external clients but also internal colleagues. I will definitely apply what I have learnt in class at work. Thank you."
Sharmiliah, Director

"I was talking to my son yesterday while celebrating his birthday. I was sharing with him about the Customer FIRST framework, relating emotions so can better manage situations and other things that I learnt through the previous two modules - sales and strategy. He was surprised as I have never used all these words with him. He was impressed with the effects of the training that I have gone through. My son is now in the midst of arranging his schedule to enrol for the programme."
Suradi, Sales Manager

"Through the Customer Track, an important takeaway of mine is self-confidence. There has been a positive shift in my mindset towards customer service. I feel challenged to rise above to meet expectations.Beyond self-confidence, the Customer Track has benefited me immensely. I was able to explore and attain more knowledge about business growing and customer service.. In the future, I will be able to relate these by having a more progressive customer-orientated mindset to raise our standards. Thumbs up to the Customer Track and the facilitator!”
Oh Lai Yan, Cheryl
SGUS Learner
"I have learnt so much for the Customer Track! There are too many for me to list them all. The most important thing I have learnt is Emotion Management. For instance, I try not to be affected by difficult or unreasonable people. Instead of harping on the problem, I will choose to focus on doing my job well and do what is best for both parties. Additionally, the Customer Service Track has allowed me to reflect. At times, it can also be difficult. This track has inspired me to shift my perception and improve my behaviour from now onwards. I hope to be able to raise the standards of my customer service. I can apply what I have learnt in both my future workplace and in my daily life. Specifically, the emotional management aspect. I will do my best to become a better, more loving, caring husband, father and son. It’s also beneficial for me to help my wife in her work occasionally. I would like to thank the facilitator for conducting such an extraordinary and unconventional coaching programme.”
Chua Beng Hwa
SGUS Learner
"Through the Customer Service Track, I have learnt about the correct strategies for running a business and handling customers. As such, I have benefited immensely as I will be able to apply them in real life scenarios and the next business I enter. For instance, I am aware of the strategies to improve customer engagement and better communicate with them to increase retention. As a result, improving the services and the future business that I enter. I highly recommend all to attend!”
Ng Mun Heng, Francis
SGUS Learner
"Before the Customer Track, I didn’t know that vision, mission & value of the company can lead to better strategy planning which can be connected and related to the people in the company and their performance which further connected down to the customers and their experiences. It changes the way I look at things now. I have been trying hard in my life to relate to those vision, mission and value statements of the previous company and cannot link them up to work. Now with better understanding, I can manage my internal customers by aligning department goals and individual goals with the company’s vision, mission and value. With the understanding of the customer, I now have progressive mindset to connect with customers.”
Beh Keng Siong Ignatius
SGUS Learner
"The Customer Track has taught me useful models and frameworks to understand and analyze issues related to customer service excellence. The frameworks and models are very practical, easy to understand as well as to handy to apply in actual environment and situations. Some of the relatable frameworks and models are the Customer F.I.R.S.T Framework and Personal Canvas. Attending the class exposes me to the blind spots that are often overlook in attempts to improve customer service. Now I am able to view issues on customer service with more empathy and appreciation, especially on how building a delightful customer experience it is intertwined with the other aspects of the company’s operations like the Customer Service Journey and Service Touchpoints. I can relate most to the part about handling difficult customer and managing difficult situations. From the vivid and relevant examples shared by the course facilitator, I have learnt that there are ways in which we can turn the “storms” situations into a pleasant experience, by adopting certain tactics such as empathy, staying focus on customers’ needs and adopting the spirit of inquiry.”
Mohamad Latiff Bin Rahmat, Director(Technology)
Training Industry
"I have gained so much from this Customer Service Track! First of all, I gained a thorough understanding of the process for strategic planning, knowing ourselves & empathizing with others. I need to focus on my objectives of staying happy and motivated. Secondly, I know the importance of working independently as well as being an effective team player. This will ensure that we can uphold service standards and establish strong customer relations. I have also benefited in terms of the shift in my mindset. The facilitator was able to encourage me to look at scenarios from different perspectives and put ourselves in the shoes of the customers. Lastly, I will definitely be able to apply in this my future workplace. The Customer Service Track has taught me beyond service standards. I will be able to use what I have learnt at my workplace as well, by maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships with my co-workers.”
Chang Wai Harn
SGUS Learner
"Able to tap into creativity in thinking outside the box is one of the key takeaways I have for the Customer Track. To retain customers, we must learn how to engage them and provide good customer service. Throughout the class, the facilitator has provided many real-life scenarios, practical examples and case studies. I can easily relate to these and with all that are provided, the various concepts and principles behind these examples can be clearly understood and applied to the business environment. This Customer Track also helped me rediscover and understand myself better. Having proper understanding of the environment, the people and knowing how to positively influence others is important to build peak performance.”

Growing Enterprise Module 4: Sales
"I have worked in the sales line throughout my career. I thought I know everything in sales. Just within the few hours in the morning session of the first day class, I realised that I am wrong. I could not even answer the few basic questions about sales. The three day class really got my full attention and focus. This course is an eye-opener for me as it really gets me think deeper on the key definition of sales on how we can plan and perform better to engage with customers to close the deal. Thanks to the facilitator! After repeating at least three times in the class, this statement will always be in my mind “Sales is about matching products and services to our targeted customers in exchange of money via a proper plan to achieve targets.” The class is truly engaging and interactive. A lot of real life experiences and examples are being shared. We were also given many opportunities to put the knowledge into practise. I was given a toy gun physically and asked to sell to the class on the first day. On second day, as a team, we designed a product factsheet. Our team designed one for a high end premium condominium situated at the Orchard. The third day assignment is most challenging yet fun. We were tasked to sell to a panel of external judges consisting of SMU students and staff. I really enjoyed the class and truly believe I can gain more by attending the other three modules under this RESULTS programme. Immediately after the class, I have written my review to my HR and MD to seek approval for enrolment to the other three modules and recommending that our colleagues should also go for the programme and benefit from it.”
Francis Tan, Sales Director
Food Manufacturing Industry
"Two parts of the Sales lesson impacted me much. First is on the sales closing techniques. I find those techniques are useful and practical that I am able to immediately apply at my daily work. Second part is on the moving on with rejections. None of the previous training I attended highlight on this critical point. Indeed I agree that the more rejections we get, the better we can do our sales better. Also at the right time, instead of stubbornly holding on to the impossible leads, we shall disqualify them and spending our limited resources on the right prospects. SP Homes is new establishment that using industry 4.0 technology to produce customised furniture in mass production way. I will build what I have learnt in this module as part of the OJT to my newly recruited young executives.”
Arjen Wong, Director
Personalised Home Industry
"Human by nature yearns to make purchase. The purchase makes us feel good and happy. So everyone is finding reasons or excuses to buy. When we are unable to sell, the issue lies in us. I need to find the “feel good” factor for my customers to buy more from us. As a sales, I am creating “happiness” for customers.”
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"As a regional business development, my duty is to expand our business to overseas. One part of the training talks about using of effective communication too. It comes in very handy as those are exactly the tools we shall explore to communicate our brands to more people and more countries.”
Feon Fong, Senior Regional Business Development Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"Before coming to this Sales module, I used to think sales is very simple - you go out and try get someone to buy your products. I never know the nitty gritty go into how to sell, how to close a sale. During the past two days when we going through all the plans and frameworks. Finally I understood that Sales is not a simple things and it is very complicated. Most of people out there doing sales now are losing out valuable information to help them get the sales. From today onwards, I am confident that my sales will be able to increase two folds, three folds even to hundred folds in the future.”
Kevin Cheng, Asst Manager of Business Development
Pest Control Industry
"There are three different types of targets we need to set in sales. Our current way is to set one sales target for our sales personnel. At this sales class, I learnt that we need to set three targets especially when we launch new products and services. The three targets are for Early Innovators, Early Adopters and Early Majority. These three targets are about 50% of what we can achieve. We will need positive reviews and words of mouth at the first two stage to drive sales to attract more people to reach the early majority stage.”
Andy Goh, Manager
Air Conditioning Industry
"Through the class I have learnt the true value of money. The value of money is dependent on every individual’s perception of the importance of this medium of exchange to them. Value of money is relating to the time needed to earn them. Understanding this fundamental concept allows me to understand why some customers feel our products are expensive while some others don’t. This also allows me to better pitch to my customers through this new perspective.”
Faye Chen, Business Development Executive
Seafood Industry
"I find the ability in handling objections is powerful as we can turn the impossible to possibly by applying the right techniques. Also we need to know when to “disqualify” prospects so we won’t waste time. These techniques are very helpful for our frontline employees to spend time effectively to target on the right prospects. This is the area that I will want to guide my frontline staff.”
Wendy Ho, CEO
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"Doing sales is like planting. Plant the ideas in the mind of customer is the same concept as seeding. Once we are able to put the “seed” in the brain of customers, there is a higher chance to close the sales.”
Claire Chua, HR Manager
Food Industry
"Understanding the different types of prospects allows me to adapt and respond to them. The four different types of prospects are price sensitive, challenging, knowledgeable and affluent. I would categorize our prospects as knowledgeable. They require information and facts to make purchase decision. As a salesperson, I need to educate them. I will work with my colleagues to look into our current ways of pitching to our prospects and to make adjustment to ensure we give our prospects the required information to facilitate their purchase decision.”
Goi Hidekazu, Assistant Sales Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"When I looked through the brochure of this RESULTS programme, I find the programme is comprehensive and will be beneficial for me. I was so looking forward to attend my very first module which is this Sales module. I shared this programme with my boss and he is very supportive and grants me the permission to attend the programme without the need of applying for leave. I told my boss that I would also want to get my two Managers to attend too if I find the training is useful. After first day of the lesson, I decided that I will want to get my two managers to enrol for the programme too. I have new idea that I would like to implement in my division, and I need my managers to implement them together with me to bring better results. After second day of the lesson, I realised that this training is very different from the training that I have attended before. It is not only about work, it broadens my mind and perspective as a person. I have a 27-year-old son working in the F&B industry. I find that this programme is useful for him. Their competition ground is the world and to fight well in this battle, he needs such training that can broaden his mind and perspectives. I would fund him for the programme if his company doesn’t do so. As a father, it is my duty to ensure he gets the best thing in life and enjoys useful and practical training like I did. One of the things I would like to implement is to come out a proper sales plan as it is just like a GPS to let us know where we are, when is the right time to make the right move and make adjustment when we took the wrong route. I strongly believe that our division will perform better and more productive when we have the sales plan.”
Suradi, Sales Manager
Air Conditioning Industry
"The class started with a Warning page stating that the class has to be ready for frontline action - to have direct contact, to face the fire and all our toes at all times and to get things done. Immediately thereafter I was given an opportunity to sell wooden clips to the class - facing the class as my audience; think of the relevant pointers to sell the product to the class and try to get the class to buy. I did not manage to sell but this frontline action term ingrained in me.”
Yasir, Operations Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"I am in the fashion industry. Our company is selling the high end premium clothings and accessories. It is critical for me and also our frontline employee to be able to take the consultative approach to understand the value that is important to them and knowing why they buy. Instead of focusing on the features and benefits, we shall focus more on the value. We are doing a series of Facebook Live every Thursday evening. I will suggest to the team that we shall emphasise more on the values that our products and service that our customers care.”

Workshop on Managing Difficult Customers and Situations
"It was a very fun class. Unlike any other workshops, it is very engaging and easy to understand. As a Guest Service Executive working in a hotel, I always encounter guests that request for early check in. In scenarios where we cannot offer them this option, they would turn unreasonable & demand for an early check in. In the past, I would not know how to handle such a situation but after attending this workshop, I am now equipped with the skills to handle such a situation. I would highly recommend this workshop as it is useful and I am able to apply it back to my workplace.”
Nur Shaqillah

"This workshop has exceeded my expectations! As an assistant outlet manager in a reputable hotel, this workshop has equipped me with relevant skills to handle both internal & external customers. During this Covid19 situation, the management wants us to clear our leave by a certain date, resulting in complaints from my staff. After the workshop, I applied what I have learnt by sitting down with them to hear their concerns and explained to them the purpose. Now, they are willing to clear their leave. For external customers, I have encountered various rude & demanding customers in the hotel's restaurant where they comment that the buffet price is too expensive. If it happens again, I will know what to do. I will first show respect to them, be firm & then focus on identifying their needs. Thank you Universal Stage!”
Thanaselan

"In my line of work as a Senior Customer Service Officer, I face fierce and angry customers whenever I need to chase for payment. Before the workshop, I realise that whenever I deal with such customers, I will panic and not know what to do. However, after attending this workshop conducted by the very experienced trainer, I have learnt the techniques on how to deal with angry customers. I have learnt to practice patience and exercise good listening skills. I would highly recommend this workshop to my colleagues and friends as it will benefit them greatly.”
Sally Chan
Cooking Appliances Industry
"This workshop has taught me to respond, rather than react to difficult situations around me. For example, when I deal with internal staff like my colleagues, there are moments where they can become unreasonable in their requests. Now that I have attended this workshop, I have become more confident and I have learnt what it means to say “No” in a firm but polite manner. In the past, I used to be defensive and at times, overly apologetic when it is not even my fault. Kudos to the trainer and Universal Stage team for their awesome service, content and delivery! I will highly recommend this workshop to my friends, relatives and colleagues!”

"Through this workshop, I have learnt to embrace problems as challenges. As a clinic manager, I can apply this back to my workplace. For example, whenever there are complaints from dissatisfied customers, instead of passing the complaint to my superior, I can solve it myself by keeping an open mind so I can solve the issue in a calming manner. From now onwards, I will not take the easy way out in managing difficult customers and situations. Well done Universal Stage!”

"I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the Experience module. The lead facilitator is full of life and effectively delivered the lessons in an exciting and engaging manner. Experience is something that will make the company stand out from the rest. I now know that to be differentiated from others, I need to create the most memorable experience for my clients in order to be remembered by them and gain their continuous support."
Ho Pei Jia Anna, Sales & Operations Director

"The Experience Track has been eye-opening for me. It has taught me a lot on creating memorable experiences that will be a lasting memory for my clients. This can help the company grow as a whole. Throughout these three days, the other learners have also shared their issues with what they are dealing with at work and it has provided an insightful discussion as we all get to learn from it. The knowledge gained has enabled me to handle future issues better should any arise. I highly recommend others to attend!"
Low Pei Hong, Officer

"Customers are our utmost priority. The module has taught me the different categories of customer as well as how to design and map out my own customer service journey map. The map is handy when I am trying to enhance their experience with us. By having a complete picture of what the customer go through, I can better relate and smoothen the process of interacting with my company. I believe that I can now make the customer journey better with us and as a result improving sales volume."
Lim Hin Soon, Mike, Sales Manager

"From emotions of customers to theories on the human mind, this is an interesting module that covers different aspects of the customer experience journey. With all the new theories and information shared during class, the facilitator uses all the examples of case studies and real life experiences. This makes the material easily digestible. He really delivered it really well, engaging everyone as their eyes are glued throughout the entire class. I will definitely apply what I have learnt to my work, creating the best experience for my customers. Thumbs up!"
Zhang Shushan, Accounts Executive

"The Experience Track is well planned and structured. The trainer brought us on a journey and we learnt how to deliver exceptional service at the emotional level as emotions directly impacts customers overall experience with the company. It was interesting as we started with learning the theories on our human mind which is important as it helps in the incorporation of stimulus to evoke positive and right emotions for the customer service journey. During the course, it was amazing to hear from our course mate who shared how he turned a negative business deal to a successful one via creating the customer persona. This shows how important and useful the creating of customer persona is as it combines attributes such as understanding the needs, motivations, expectations and behaviors of customers so that we can paint an accurate picture of customers wants and needs.I also enjoyed the case study on designing and customizing of customer service journey via a few stages, the touchpoints, customers’ thoughts, feelings and what positive and negative experiences occurred so that improvements can be made. Delivering good customer service is not enough; we should deliver exceptional service! Thank you to our trainer and his team from Universal Stage."

Transforming Enterprise Module 2: Negotiate
"We have always been negotiating throughout our lives. Andy has made it more structured and easier for us to understand our existing negotiation skills / style. By understanding ourselves better and learning new negotiation skills, we get to improve our confidence levels. Also, improve our chances of success when we are involved in negotiations. Rather than explaining negotiation theories, Andy focuses on daily application and examples. Thus, making it very easy for us to understand and apply the new skills. I would highly recommend this programme for all to attend!"
Dr Garrie Giam, Director
Wholesale Trade Industry
"As a returning learner for the RESULTS programme, I can proudly say that the programme has proven so beneficial to both my work and personal life. In the new Negotiate Track, I learnt new negotiation techniques like BATNA and the method to bargaining, getting the best deal possible. The knowledge imparted from our trainer, Andy Lim, has definitely made me more confident in my negotiation skills. The real life examples given during the class has made negotiation more relevant than ever. These skills and knowledge gained from over the course of three days can help me collaborate with more potential clients in the future."
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"The Negotiate Track has taught me that it is necessary to prepare and have a strong Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement before entering into a negotiation. At the end of the day, negotiation is a multi party discussion. There is a need to actively listen to other participants sharing so as to understand matters from their perspective. The Track has empowered me to better lead my team to greater heights, this is a Track not to be missed and I highly recommend everyone to come and learn the art of negotiation."
Daniel Poon, General Manager
Wholesale Trade Industry
"The Negotiate Track reshaped my perception of everyday negotiation. It taught me practical and applicable techniques which I can utilize to approach new customers, control the conversation and most importantly to achieve a mutually beneficial deal out of the discussion. I finally understood what it means to keep things up my sleeve in a negotiation and to never be too desperate in securing projects. Negotiation is an everyday task. In every conversation there is always a negotiation going on. Moving forward, I believe I am now better equip to achieve higher sales for my company."
Ken Lee, Sales Engineer
Wholesale Trade Industry
"The whole Negotiate Track was truly enlightening as I have learnt many things. One of the many things I have learnt is the way to negotiate and how to position yourself better when negotiating. As this is my first time attending this Track, I was genuinely pleased to have Mr Andy Lim as my facilitator as he is not only truly knowledgeable but have many relevant experiences to share with us. As my jobscope mostly revolves around doing sales, it is of utmost importance to know how to deal with customers, distributors and superiors. These soft skills learnt will definitely push me to be better in the future."
Tony Goh, Sales Account Manager
Building and Construction Industry
"Through this Negotiation Track, I learnt that Negotiation is an art. It is not restricted to only the realm of sales but also in everyday conversation. The skills and techniques taught in the class can be used in our daily lives. It can be used not only with clients but also with family and friends. The Negotiation Track taught me to look out for key areas when I am in a discussion with a potential client in order to achieve a higher rate of conversation. This truly enlightened me on the importance of negotiation and its impact in our lives. A must attend for all!"
Elson Low, Director
Furniture Rental Industry
"From the Negotiate Track, I have learnt the various methods of negotiation skills and how to tackle/handle them based on different scenarios/situations. Proper preparation is important in the process of negotiation so as to better understand the other party's needs and wants. The skills which I have learnt will be beneficial to my everyday life which involves handling customers, bargaining for best deals and to avoid any conflict or argument in the midst of any negotiation with family members, because at the end of the day we just want to close the deal without offending/hurting anyone emotionally. At work, I often have to chase the outstanding accounts from clients. Despite many reminders we are still unable to retrieve the bad debts and we have to resort to nasty comments/actions taken. Now, I know that there are alternative ways to tackle this through the skills that I have learnt from the Negotiation Training."
Zhang Shushan, Accounts Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"As expected, the RESULTS programme never disappoints. I have been enrolled in other different Tracks from the programme itself and there are always key takeaways applicable to my personal and working life. This time, the Negotiate Track taught me the different ways of negotiating such as the integrative and the distributive method. What benefitted me from the Track is the exposure gained whilst the trainer, Andy Lim, imparted insightful knowledge to us. This allowed me to understand questions posed by the clients so I can better negotiate with them. Sales is my main job responsibility. Through this Track, I am able to better prepare better prior to meeting clients, therefore understanding them from their standpoint. This will allow me to get a better deal and close the deal effectively and promptly."
Mike Lim, Sales Manager
Furniture Rental Industry
"Almost every conversation could be a form of negotiation. That is my biggest takeaway from the Negotiation Track. When I understood what is at stake in every conversation, it is critical to think before I speak as words cannot be taken back once spoken. There is a need to be tactful as some of the topics discussed can be sensitive. An example of which would be the discussion of salaries at a job interview or even over a problem encountered at work. We always need to prepare before entering any form of negotiation to give us a higher chance of achieving the best outcome for everyone. Preparation enables us to carefully choose the right technique to utilize in the conversation, making it easier for us to control the flow of the conversation, gaining the upper hand."
Marcus Han, Warehouse Supervisor
Furniture Rental Industry
"Attending the negotiation training has expanded my knowledge in the art of negotiating. I have grasp the different strategies used and know how to better prepare myself for important negotiating sessions. Through the knowledge imparted from our well-versed trainer, Andy Lim, I found out the importance of keeping an open mind and understanding that not all negotiation needs to end in a win-lose situation. We have to explore other possibilities together to realise each other's shared interests. These skills taught are very relatable to my daily work. When having to negotiate an important deal with our clients, there is an alternative to discuss bigger possibilities such as future collaborations other than just giving discounts to build a long term relationship."

Transforming Enterprise Module 4: Present
"Though it is only a two days training programme, the Present Track have taught me a lot on how to conduct a better presentation. I have also learnt the proper steps to take prior to giving a final presentation, regardless to potential clients or my employees. This Present Track allowed me to refresh and fine-tune all of my presentation skills, benefitting me especially during work since I have to conduct presentations every quarterly. I recommend this programme for all to attend!"
Daniel Poon, General Manager
Wholesale Trade Industry
"One of key things I have learnt from the Present Track is to knowing how to break my presentation into parts. For example, it is important to know how to prepare and start a presentation, then breaking it down into different segments. Apart from that, the pointers shared throughout the presentation must always be backed up and proven with facts. To further improve my presentation skills, I have made it a point to practice it with others. This Present Track has definitely benefitted me. In the past, I am always not prepared before conducting presentations. I do not even know how to deliver my points across. I have always made great emphasis on my pointers and even have a script to read from. Now that I know better, I learnt that audience engagement is as imperative to make a presentation great. I can also use these new found skills when introducing my company to new and existing clients."
Ken Lee, Sales Engineer
Wholesale Trade Industry
"This Present Track has enlightened me in a way where I now can understand and create proper content for presentations. Through this, I know how to work my way around to drive interest, keeping my audience immersed and engaged in my presentations. Understanding the art of presenting is as important too as it helps getting the message across the board. Having good presentation skills can definitely help boost my confidence when presenting. These skills come in exceptionally handy when I am in a conference or I am having a face-to-face meeting with clients. I recommend this programme to all."
Elson Low, Director
Furniture Rental Industry
"I never knew there was so much to learn about presentations. The knowledge gained from this Present Track aided me in structuring my presentation effectively with the layout provided by the trainer. It helps me plan out presentations from introduction to conclusion. Prior to this Present Track, I never knew that I can prepare my presentations in this manner. Being able to properly sort out the content of my presentation in a structured way allows me to have more confidence in presenting it to my audience. Applying these skills back to work, the Present Track has taught me the need to be well prepared before meeting potential clients. Some preparation work includes simplifying and focusing on important pointers prior to conveying message to these clients. A highly recommended Present Track to sign up for!"
Zhang Shushan, Accounts Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"No doubt coming up with a presentation and presenting in front of people is something many can do. But there is a clear distinction between a bad presentation, a good presentation and a presentation that lingers in the memory of the audiences. This Present Track I have enrolled for taught me the different ways to present in front of people. Another thing to definitely note are the steps to take in order to prepare for a presentation. Gaining these skills has given me more confidence in terms of presenting since I am now equipped with the knowledge to conduct a good presentation. I know which are the key areas to look out for to keep my audience engaged, at the same time getting my point across. I can easily relate this to my day-to-day work as I know how to prepare in advance should I have meetings with clients."
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"This Present Track has boosted my confidence level in presenting as I have now learnt to plan and construct an effective presentation. I used to fear not being able to deliver my message well to my intended audiences, but with the new skill set I have gained, I will definitely make sure to practice and hone it well eventually. Now, I am more prepared when presenting to clients for different projects. I also know how to arrange my presentations so that I can bring the points across better. This allows the clients to grasp and comprehend my pointers with ease."
Mike Lim, Sales Manager
Furniture Rental Industry
"After attending the Present Track, I have learnt so much about formal and informal presentation, the ways to approach different topics and the importance of preparation. Using an insurance agent as an example, he needs to be well prepared to explain the points he is bringing across to his clients in detail. Both parties should also be able to see from each other’s point of view, making sure that they have a common end goal. The knowledge gained from the Present Track are applicable to my job. It increases the efficiency rate in sharing ideas with others. As a Warehouse Supervisor, I constantly have the need to find and arrange for more storage space. With these new skills gained, I can write up a proposal and present it effectively to convince the other party on the changes. I definitely recommend others to attend!"
Marcus Han, Warehouse Supervisor
Furniture Rental Industry
"My biggest takeaway from the Present Track would be the need to plan before every presentation. A normal preparation would constitute planning for what to say and what to show during the presentation. However, we can strive to be better by analysing our audiences to better cater our presentation in order to achieve the most optimal RESULTS. I stand to gain when my presentation is interesting and not dull or boring as it will ingrain my idea into the audiences’ memory. Nothing is more satisfying than a successful pitch in any presentation. A big thank you to the lead facilitator in equipping me with these presentation skills which will stay with me throughout my career. I believe that I am capable of performing better in my marketplace with these new skills, getting better RESULTS out of every presentation. "
Low Pei Hong, Officer
Furniture Rental Industry
"Presentation has grown to become a norm in our corporate lives. Hence, the need to execute it well is critical. The content delivered was most importantly practical in essence. It was able to communicate complicated concepts into layman terms which aided in understanding. The facilitator stood out from the rest as he was excellent in not only conveying the main learning points of the track but also delivering it in an engaging way for his learners. With my presentation skills sharpened, I look forward in utilising them to achieve better RESULTS for my company and myself. A must not miss for anyone serious about climbing the corporate ladder."

Growing Enterprise Module 1: Strategy
"The Strategy Track taught me how to tap on the company's Vision, Mission and Values to craft the company strategy. Only when we do things that are aligned, we can attain maximum RESULTS. Having a clear strategy can go a long way as it aids everyone in the company to understand why we are doing what we are doing. This not only creates motivated employees, it also creates a sense of belonging as everyone is clear of their role and purpose in making the company function."
Beh Keng Siong Ignatius, SGUS Learner
"I deeply appreciate the lead facilitator’s authenticity in conducting the lesson. He shared passionately and provided his own personal experience in life to help make the lessons more applicable and easier to understand. Strategy creation is something very complicated but the Strategy Track has equipped me with tools to help make the process easier and more efficient. I am confident that now I can perform better in my work through enhancing work processes, achieving better RESULTS."
Lim Siyuan, SGUS Learner
"I will hold the lessons and skills I learnt from the Strategy Track dear to my heart. The lessons are not only engaging but most importantly applicable to my own work as it helps me see the bigger picture and loopholes which I can improve on to achieve better RESULTS. I am looking forward to my next few modules with Universal Stage and moving forward, I am confident that the RESULTS programme is sure to enhance my capabilities as an individual and help me see greater RESULTS in work and in life."
Shong Raymond Ralph Chong Han, SGUS Learner
"The Strategy Track has helped me gain a better understanding of the SWOT analysis methodology. Previously, I was leveraging this method of analysis however the class has deepened my understanding on how to accurately utilise this analysis such that I could get much more information out of it. By not seeing it as a lone analysis but rather linking it to the various objectives and goals of the company. In the current fast changing landscape due to the COVID pandemic, the SWOT analysis has provided me with a better understanding and view of the situation so that I could use the right strategy to achieve the best RESULT."
Goh Swee Yee, Catherine, Assistant General Manager
Beauty Industry
"Learning how to strategize accordingly regardless in work or in my personal life is one of the key things I have taken away from this Strategy Track. I am able to cultivate this to my daily needs. After this Strategy Track, I went back home to brainstorm the different areas which I need to focus on. With the new skills taught, I began analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the various areas in my life. I am confident that I can put it to practise and see things at a bigger and clearer picture now. Thank you for an opportunity to learn and I strongly recommend it with my friends and tell them about this programme, The RESULTS programme."
Leona Zarifah Mohamed Sofi, Customer Service Assistant
Beauty Industry
"The Strategy Track has enabled me to effectively identify and determine the lifetime value of customers. By knowing their value, I can adjust my strategy in order to deliver the highest possible level of RESULTS. Planning is fundamental in all that we do. With a good strategy, that is already half the battle won. Now, I am confident that I can better lead and communicate ideas to my team, ensuring that productivity is maximised as well as playing to the strength of respective individuals in order to deliver better RESULTS."
Tiew Luan Suan, Valerie, Branch Manager
Beauty Industry
"The Strategy Track enabled me to develop my own personal mission, vision and values. With a better understanding of myself, I am able to set and achieve my goals with a clearer plan. The beauty of this class is that not only is it applicable in my workplace, it is also applicable in my own life. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Strategy is indeed critical in all that we do, If we want to see higher RESULTS in our life, we have to become a better strategist. I highly encourage everyone to attend this so as to be able to unlock the potential they have within! "
Azhar Bin Rahmat, Project Manager
Pest Control Industry
"After the three-day class, I find the Balanced Scorecard is the best approach to use. I will apply what I have learnt – from doing the PEST analysis, SWOT analysis, identifying the current to future state, formulating the strategic objectives, selecting the KPIs to the designing of action plan at work. Initially I thought I could do it quick but I realized that enough time has to be allocated to do a good job. So I plan to use 7 weeks to come out with the initial actionable and strategic map. The guided template given at the class will be very helpful to facilitate the entire process."
Philip Chua, Vice President of Sales
IT Industry
"I graduated with a degree in business management and I have learnt all the theories. However, this Strategy class opens my eyes on how to really manage a business. The class tells us exactly what we have to do in a guided manner, points out when we should do and how we should go about doing so. In the next few weeks, I am going to relook the foundation of my business, what have gone wrong, how we may streamline our products to target at our customers specifically so as to reach them in a more effective manner. I am glad that I was given an opportunity to work on the Value Curve in front of the class. Thanks to the class and Andy for sharing your true views. I will continue working on the Value Curve to find out the competitive advantage of my business."
Kevin Cheng, Asst Manager of Business Development
Pest Control Industry
"Strategy is a set of long-term choices undertaken by company based on competitive advantage.” I am asking myself what is the competitive advantage that our company has. It is important to find out our Red Ocean and Blue Ocean and design a new Purple Ocean using the Value Curve. It is not easy but I determine to complete this. We want to be different in the eyes of customers and we want to be the game changer."
Francis Tan, Sales Director
Food Manufacturing Industry
"I have been wanting to set up a company specialising in bringing local businesses to venture into Vietnam as part of their expansion plans. This Strategy module sets me thinking in identifying my value proposition to my target customers. Also, I have made up my mind in setting up this business and make it real."
Edwin Tan, Business Development Director
Floral Wholesaler Industry
"Based on my years of observation, I noticed that failure of many companies was not due to their wrongdoings but rather they have been doing the same old things with no change made even the environment has changed so much. The various analysis, i.e. PEST, SWOT, competitive analysis, taught in class are very critical in allowing us understand the external environment that we are operating in."
Geoffry, Financial Controller
Cigarette Distributor Industry
"Company’s strategic direction is not dictated by only one person, rather it is the effort of a team that is able to contribute their inputs that best direct the company forward. I, as a HR, play a critical role in getting the right people with right skills and setting the right culture for strategy implementation."
Chen Jinfeng, HR & Admin Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"I attended all four tracks of the programme and this strategy development is the most complex for me, especially the alignment of the enterprise vision to the perspectives in financial, customer, processes and growth. These broad and holistic areas are not what I am familiar with. Andy the facilitator noticed the challenge I am facing and redirected my focus to my personal aspects - the vision for my family and I was then able to craft out a vision for my daughter to be the Musician that can let others “feel the music” and the Mission of “playing music as a game to so as to let audiences have fun.” Subsequently, I am able to understand and work out the vision for the enterprise I work in. The facilitators' ability to work out something adhoc, without advance notice and on the spot for me, even showing me videos of Gustavo Dudamel is great. The assistance for me to see the integration of work and life is incredible. This ability to make difficult things become easy is simply eye opening."
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive

"Company’s strategic direction is not dictated by only one person, rather it is the effort of a team that is able to contribute their inputs that best direct the company forward. I, as a HR, play a critical role in getting the right people with right skills and setting the right culture for strategy implementation."
Evelyn Lee, Assistant General Manager
Service Industry
"The materials taught in this Strategy module are very practical, realistic and close to the real situation any company would be in, especially the SMEs. As CEO of my company, I find Andy’s great experiences and his way of delivery very helpful to allow learners at different position levels to understand what strategy is and how each of them can play a role in the strategy development and implementation in their own area of work. We are now in talk with Andy to enroll our employees for the four modules under this RESULTS programme."
Kelvin Ong, CEO
Food Manufacturing Industry
"This three-day of Strategy module sets me think deeper. My day to day focus at work now seems like more on solving problems and issues. However these three days made me realized that I need to think and plan more to ensure our unit direction is in line with the overall corporate strategy. Each supporting unit should have its own strategy towards achievement of the business objectives."
Yen Yen, Business Support Manager
Service Industry
"Many principles learnt at class are not just applicable to work but also applicable to personal life. In class, Andy shared about the concept of competitive advantage. I was asked what my personal competitive advantage is. I shared in class that being meticulous is my competitive advantage. Andy asked how I could strengthen it as competitive advantage has to be something that can be continuously improved on. I had no idea and Andy asked me to think about it. To my surprise, Andy brought the “colored rice” the next day to class. The activity is to sort the “colored rice” according to the color as a way of sustaining and continuing my competitive advantage. The part on vision, mission and values also set me thinking of our current version on where is the critical focus point."
Joyce Lo, Accountant
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"We were asked to think of each of our personal competitive advantage in class. I shared that my competitive advantage is problem solving. I am able to solve difficult problems. The next step I am going to take is continuously improving in this area to strengthen it further."
Goi Hidekazu, Assistant Sales Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"Value proposition is to occupy a distinctive place in the mind of targeted customer. I was asked what my value proposition to my wife is. When I reached home after the class, I explained and posted the question to her, she told me my value proposition to her is “filial piety”."
Kenny Loh, Account & Office Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"After attending the Strategy Module, it helps me to learn and understand the importance of seizing market opportunities by making the choices that differentiate us from the competitors. It's not about competing with the competitors or trying to be the best, but UNIQUE. It truly opens my eyes on the importance of Vision, Mission and Value of an organisation. It gives me a purpose of me serving the company by fulfilling and doing my role well in the company. Personally, I love the Value Curve as it is truly important to find out our Red Ocean & blue Ocean to create a Purple Ocean, so we can better understand the consumers’ behaviour. By doing so, it gives a better idea of the balance scorecard to formulate a strategic objective to track progress and drive SUCCESS. Lastly, thank you Mr Andy and his team for imparting us with ALL his fruitful experiences and knowledge without any reserves."
Chia Jiawen, Marketing Executive
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"Attending this course has really helped to enlighten me on many concepts that I heard about, particularly on the balance scorecard. I have been in the company that implemented this. I saw the results but I did not know that so much thought and works have gone into it. Having the exercises in class really helps to nail down and pin down what is the vision and mission of the company. More often than not, companies just either have somebody to do it for them or don’t even pin it down. I feel this framework will be very beneficial for my company to look into areas that we need to improve on and ultimately how to link it up. I will take this back to my organisation and see how or where the resources shall be pumped into to improve on the processes and culture that need to be changed."

"One of the activities in class is to identify the competitive advantage, vision, mission and values. Through this activity, this is the first time I worked out my personal competitive advantage, vision, mission and values as a property agent. These have provided me even clearer picture and focus for my career."
Alvin Cheong, Associate Division Director

"I love the explanation on the key performance indicators. Andy used simple illustration of a journey from Singapore to KL to explain the concept of indicators."
Patricia Sim
"I wanted to start a wedding planning company since young. Recently, I was helping a friend for his wedding preparation. There are really many things to be handled. Even at the last minute, the vendors are calling him for confirmation, payment and etc. That even made me more determined to run a wedding planning company that provide hassle free service so the couple can enjoy this special moment. In the class, I craft out the vision of my “future” company - It's your wedding, enjoy it!"

"I attended the SMU Growing Enterprise Module 1: Strategy Development on 22 Oct 2019. At first, I was skeptical of this course but in less than 30 minutes, the lecturer Mr Andy Lim has proved me wrong. His knowledge on the topic taught was fantastic as he and his team made a tremendous effort of the topic and of course the course materials was totally easy to understand especially for student of mid age like me. As you know, when we talk about business strategy, usually lecturer would use very chimp jargon words or speech. But not for him. With his style and lingo in teaching & sending the message across to the audience, he was always patient in explaining the "Secret to the Strategy of a Business Growth". He will bring himself down to our level so as to make all of us understand. He created jokes at times has never made the 3 days lesson dry. I had never understood better on how to create a better Vision & Mission Statement for a company without him. He goes deep to teach us on how to find the core of it. He made us cracked our brain on how to discover formula on this issue. Every time he explained on the challenges faced by SME, he will use real life examples and it always remind me of the past mistakes I made before as an entrepreneur. His explanation on 'Purple Ocean strategy' was none than the best. He does remind us to always be honest to ourselves in creating one best formula for our business. Just before the end of the course, I had actually found some light in the dark tunnel. With the equipped knowledge past down to me by Mr Andy, I truly believe that I will make it one day. Without him realising it, he has built up my confidence and self-esteem high. Why? Because the knowledge and experience taught was superb! Without the best knowledge, one won't be having a true confidence to make it happen. As Ms Selina mentioned to me personally just before the lesson, "Be positive" and you will make it! My dearest thanks and gratitude to SMU and staffs of Universal Stage for organising such an awesome course. To Mr Andy Lim, I wish that his contributions and vision will one day be able to lead the true Singapore Entrepreneur Spirits as he is a real Singapore Entrepreneur Guru!"

"As a newbie in the working environment and with background of fashion design, strategy is an “alien” word to me. I thought it will be very difficult to understand and wonder it will be useful. Actually, strategy is about alignment, aligning the four perspectives to reach company’s purpose statement. Now I am able to relate and align to management directions."

Growing Enterprise Module 2: People
"The People Track offered me a new perspective when looking at time and self-management. When I better understand myself, I can better work together with others as I know what works for me and what doesn't. In any situation, teamwork is of utmost importance to see a successful RESULT. Looking back, I am heartened that I enrolled for the People Track as education is a lifelong journey and this track has shaped me into a better person and unlocked a better version of life for me. A must not miss for anyone!
Oon Keat Lee, Joseph,Graphic Designer

"The People Track has taught me how I should set my work goals and my mind straight, making sure I keep up to my performance consistently. I am more driven to set targets for myself at work. One thing the facilitator said was "If you do not do beyond your best, than how do you know your best?" That is the main sentence that hit me. I have benefited a lot actually and I wish to still be given the opportunity to take up courses, solely focus on the course and help to benefit me at work. I feel like constructing plans and strategy is very important in the workforce, and it is also important to know my capabilities. Regardless if it is work or my personal life, I feel that building a strong rapport with colleagues is very important as we can upsell our product better with a great team working together. I definitely aiming to being a productive worker and being able to bring something to the table for my company. I know I have a lot of potential in myself and I want to strive for that and see in what areas I should focus on to improve myself. Thank you for a fun filled and knowledgeable lesson that I can definitely take away and put it to everyday use.”

"Setting the right goal will give me the necessary motivation when it comes to work. The People Track teaches us how to set the right goals in order to achieve my version of success. The key is to focus on myself. To become a better team player, a better employee, a superior or even a family member, it all boils down to becoming a better version of myself. This is definitely a programme not to be missed as it helps you to understand the key factors to success as well as increasing your awareness in working towards your definition of success. ”

"I love the activity on Making Choices. We tend to make each other happy at discussion but overlook the real objective of the discussion. At the end the company suffers. I learnt through the exercise that as a team, we need to focus on the objectives, be open to hear to each other ideas, practice supportive communication and reach to a conclusion meeting the intended objective. I will share my learnings with my team so we could use our discussion time more productive and with the right focus.”
Alvin Cheong, Associate Division Director

"The People Track has taught me the importance of being aware of my circumstance. The mechanics of how everything gel together in a company and the role in which I play in making the company work. I am excited to return to my workplace to test out the new skills and techniques I’ve learnt from the People track. I am confident that by utilising the techniques taught, I can see transformative RESULTS. A must attend for all!

"Our company is specialising in the supplier of seafood to hotels and restaurants. I am in charge of the business development and customers may call me anytime in the day to place order whenever I am. I love this new term that I learnt from this People module called " Work Life Integration". Yes I truly agree that we shall integrate our work with personal life. Inject fun elements into daily work to make it fun for myself and my team to sustain the productivity level. Work a little while away from holiday to avoid the piling up of work so I can ensure my positive energy built up during the holiday can be prolonged and will not be exhausted immediately after the holiday. I find the true "balance" when I integrate both work and life.”

"As a graphic designer, it is imperative that I am able to communicate my proposal well to my superiors and managers so that they can make better decisions for the company. The People Track has provided me the necessary skills to handle my superiors such that my proposals are more likely to be accepted by them. My biggest customer is none other than my direct superior, knowing how they work will allow me for better career progression. ”

"The past 3 days of the People Track has taught me the importance of self-mastery. By understanding myself well, I can then better communicate with others. One of my main takeaways would be the technique of effective communication. The People Track has helped me better communicate to my junior staff such that they understand my expectations as well as desires for work and for them. It is also of importance that I know how to present myself in order to be likeable and good connections always come in handy in unexpected times.”

I am so glad that in this People class allows me to discuss the business goals for the next two years and critical success factors to achieve them as case study. I get real insights and guidance from the class with the help of the lead facilitator. Now I know what I should do to make my goals happen."
Kevin Cheng, Asst Manager of Business Development

"This class enlightens me that what we can do in personal life can be done at work too. I saw people who are good at work but having challenge in personal life, vice versa. As a sales person, I spend quality time talking with my customers so I shall spend more quality with my friends and family. At home, I give my love and care to my daughter. I shall apply this love and care to my customers to deepen the relationships with them. I can do well both at my work and life.”
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive

"I learnt that First step to successful problem solving is to be able to diagnose the root cause of the issue. At workplace, I observe people tend to draw boundary. Most organisation will look at this symptom and go for team bonding activity and wishing that the people will bond thereafter. As a HR, I find this is a myth to break. I would say people behave so as they are defensive over their own boundaries. To break this, I would say the people have to build real trust among them to solve this challenge.”
Sally Ho, Senior HR & Admin Executive

"To increase productivity, we need to do the right things and do the things right. As the Executive Director, I am overseeing all companies under the Group. When I go back to office, I will get my people stop doing all the wrong things first. By doing so, we will not waste our productive time and have resources savings. Thereafter we can identify the right things to do to bring better results for company.”
Christine Lee, Executive Director

"The “Say Yes” activity is very interesting. It is right that in our daily life we seldom say yes to other. When we are able to say Yes, people around us also tend to say yes to us more. It’s a positive influence to each other.”

"This People module is very interesting. A variety of activities were being used in the class to share and explain different learning pointers. Those activities are practical and helpful in grasping the essential of those key pointers. I enjoyed those activities very much as they help in my learning over the three days.”
Patricia Sim
"I am currently looking for new employment. Practicing supportive communication is one key area that I need to make improvement on. After years of working in the field, I realized that I sometimes may overlook the emotion and feeling of people working around me as too much focus was being placed on getting the work done in tight schedule. I am going to constantly remind myself in this perspective when I get into my new job.”
Candy Lim
"From the People class, I learnt that I can contribute to the company in many ways by understanding my own experience, strengths, beliefs and interest. Coupling with setting SMART work goals, I can create better results.”
Adriana, Operations Executive

"After attending the class, I am now able to link my experiences, strengths, skills, beliefs, interests and proudest achievement together to form my personal unique positioning statement. This allows me to understand myself better and let people to know me as who I am. This helps me build up my confidence and I will share with my boss when I get back to work. So I can contribute more to company with my experiences and strengths. I have been to multiple courses like this before, but this course has been the best as it really requires your full attention and has a balance of theories and activities. Andy the facilitator is a very energetic and pleasant individual. He is super approachable and always ready to engage in a conversation whatever he may be busy in. The real world examples are very relatable and help us understand easier.”
Yasir, Operations Executive

"I love to attend Andy’s class as he always share the real things. We have to bear in mind the competition in this real world and be productive as an united team. One thing that I need to immediately apply is Listening. I never listen to my staff. I will cut them off within 7 seconds. I will tell them what I want and ask them to just follow. Moving on, I will listen to my staff’s ideas and suggestions. They are on the ground. Listening to them will help me make improvements, build a harmonious team and bring better results for my division."
Suradi, Sales Manager

"The People Track offered me a new perspective when looking at time and self-management. When I better understand myself, I can better work together with others as I know what works for me and what doesn't. In any situation, teamwork is of utmost importance to see a successful RESULT. Looking back, I am heartened that I enrolled for the People Track as education is a lifelong journey and this track has shaped me into a better person and unlocked a better version of life for me. A must not miss for anyone!"
Oon Keat Lee, Joseph, Graphic Designer

"The People Track has taught me how I should set my work goals and my mind straight, making sure I keep up to my performance consistently. I am more driven to set targets for myself at work. One thing the facilitator said was "If you do not do beyond your best, than how do you know your best?" That is the main sentence that hit me. I have benefited a lot actually and I wish to still be given the opportunity to take up courses, solely focus on the course and help to benefit me at work. I feel like constructing plans and strategy is very important in the workforce, and it is also important to know my capabilities. Regardless if it is work or my personal life, I feel that building a strong rapport with colleagues is very important as we can upsell our product better with a great team working together. I definitely aiming to being a productive worker and being able to bring something to the table for my company. I know I have a lot of potential in myself and I want to strive for that and see in what areas I should focus on to improve myself. Thank you for a fun filled and knowledgeable lesson that I can definitely take away and put it to everyday use."

Growing Enterprise Module 3: Customer
"Understanding our customer's service journey is very important. These touch points are key moments we express our brand as a service provider and also opportunities to impress and delight customers. In this world of digitalisation, we need to nurture and grow our loyal customers to be our ambassadors to spread the excellent word of mouth. Thank you Andy & team for the specially curated RESULTS programme which is pivotal to help Mary Chia to enhance our service journey to bring our customer's wellness experience to greater heights.”

Chee Yong, Group IT & Data Security Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"We often look at companies and customers as technical or functional. Through the class, I realized that we have neglected that people as people that they need to be related to, each has their preference and requirements, likes and dislikes. I will engage my customers more to understand their preferences, get their feedback after purchase so we can provide better service to them."
Kevin Cheng, Asst Manager of Business Development
Pest Control Industry
"I am so touched. This Customer module is my fourth and last module. The organizer Universal Stage really goes the extra mile to make their teachings real. They live up to their promise of providing excellent customer service. I am having a bad cough. The facilitator brings me his home grown bualonglong and guides me how to make a drink that is good for my throat. I get better after the drink and can sleep at night without waking up. As a senior HR, I would recommend this entire RESULTS programme to all enterprises.”

"We are in the seafood distribution business. I am in charge of the Business Development. I face different types of customers and situations everyday, both internal and external. After today's lesson, I know how to manage the different type of customers. I should help customers who have difficulty in making choices by asking them questions to help them focus and narrow down the options. I also realized that the service team has to work together to manage more difficult cases. It is especially true in the case of facing violent customers. We have to find reason to excuse ourselves or help our colleague to be out from that moment and seek support.”
Faye Chen, Business Development Executive
Seafood Industry
"Starting a day with sharing of happy news that we have experienced the day before is great. Happy employees create happy customers experiences. An idea that I can bring back to office and apply with my colleagues. Appreciating your workers with words and show your appreciation with little gifts or snacks is an excellent way to build lasting relationships!"
Andy Goh, Manager
Air Conditioning Industry
"I am a restaurant manager for Central Thai. From the class, I learnt that understanding and focusing on the emotion of customers is very important. I need to let our customers feel the warmth and welcome when they visit my outlet. To do so, it has to start from myself being a joyful role model for my team so they are also in the joyful mode to serve our customers. Mr Andy is very professional and his team will follow up by calling after the course. I would like to say “Thank you” to them."
Bobby Tan, Assistant Manager
F&B Industry
"This is the third module I have attended under RESULTS programme. This module is on Customer. I have learnt a lot. One secrets of customer service I learnt is on Showing Appreciation. I would like to appreciate my lady boss for sending me to this RESULTS programme. Saying thank you is not enough, I will buy a bouquet of flower and give her when I go back to work."
Claire Chua, HR Manager

"The first day of the lesson strike me as I never considered my friends, families and colleagues around me as customers. I always thought the paying customers are my customers. With this understanding, I can manage everyone with improved service and build long term relationship.”
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive

"I am the outlet manager of an aesthetic clinic, Scinn at Orchard. Through the role play, the facilitator Andy pointed out that I tend to speak too much and without getting customer to share their requirements. Being in sales for years, I acknowledge that I have this challenge that I need to overcome. I will ask more questions to get customers to share more about themselves so that I can serve my customers well and achieve better sales.”
Crystal Tham, Sales Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"I did the role play in the class. This role play allows me to experience the reality and I realized many of those theories learnt in the past are in fact no longer applicable as those are theories that are not implementable. “Perfect practice makes perfect 練習は嘘をつかない”. Excellent customer service complements my sales process.”
Goi Hidekazu, Assistant Sales Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"After attending the Customer module, I realise that there are much more depth in customer service that I have to know. It is actually indeed a great class to attend to improve service skills. Customers nowadays are smarter and we have to strategize and use the right ways to serve our customers properly. I am now applying what I have learnt in the class at my daily work. As a working “newbie”, this class has taught me what I exactly need to perform to enhance my service performance, to both my internal and external customers.”
Adriana, Operations Executive
Fashion Industry
"Indeed it is a need to stay focus on the positive things as what Andy has shared in class. There are too many obstacles we face everyday and are never ending. So I always look at the positive side and focus on my positive emotions.”
Hafidz, Assistant Operations Manager
F&B Industry
"I am a restaurant manager working for Central Thai restaurant at East Coast Park. We are so accustomed to say sorry to customers whenever there is a queue at a restaurant. Sometimes, it just becomes a habit to say sorry before saying anything to customer. At class, Andy has enlightened me that there is no need to apologize. That’s true. It should be a happy thing when our restaurant is full. Instead of saying sorry, I shall say “our restaurant is full at the moment. Would you mind waiting for X mins?” I will share this with my crew.”
Rahman, Restaurant Manager
F&B Industry
"I am working in an event company. One of my job responsibilities is to contact customer to deliver the props for setting up the venue. Often, I encountered customers who speak to me very rudely. After the class, now I can relate their emotion and speak to them correctly. “I am here to work with you to ensure the on time delivery to meet the completion schedule, pls let me know when it is good to talk to you again”! When I can relate my customers’ emotion, I can also regulate my own emotion. I look forward to attend other modules so I can give the best customer experience.”
Yasir, Operations Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"I find the programme is useful and pragmatic. It reminds me not to become a “zombie” at work, manage my emotion well regardless of the situations and also provide excellent customer service not just to external clients but also internal colleagues. I will definitely apply what I have learnt in class at work. Thank you."
Sharmiliah, Director

"I was talking to my son yesterday while celebrating his birthday. I was sharing with him about the Customer FIRST framework, relating emotions so can better manage situations and other things that I learnt through the previous two modules - sales and strategy. He was surprised as I have never used all these words with him. He was impressed with the effects of the training that I have gone through. My son is now in the midst of arranging his schedule to enrol for the programme."
Suradi, Sales Manager

"Through the Customer Track, an important takeaway of mine is self-confidence. There has been a positive shift in my mindset towards customer service. I feel challenged to rise above to meet expectations.Beyond self-confidence, the Customer Track has benefited me immensely. I was able to explore and attain more knowledge about business growing and customer service.. In the future, I will be able to relate these by having a more progressive customer-orientated mindset to raise our standards. Thumbs up to the Customer Track and the facilitator!”
Oh Lai Yan, Cheryl
SGUS Learner
"I have learnt so much for the Customer Track! There are too many for me to list them all. The most important thing I have learnt is Emotion Management. For instance, I try not to be affected by difficult or unreasonable people. Instead of harping on the problem, I will choose to focus on doing my job well and do what is best for both parties. Additionally, the Customer Service Track has allowed me to reflect. At times, it can also be difficult. This track has inspired me to shift my perception and improve my behaviour from now onwards. I hope to be able to raise the standards of my customer service. I can apply what I have learnt in both my future workplace and in my daily life. Specifically, the emotional management aspect. I will do my best to become a better, more loving, caring husband, father and son. It’s also beneficial for me to help my wife in her work occasionally. I would like to thank the facilitator for conducting such an extraordinary and unconventional coaching programme.”
Chua Beng Hwa
SGUS Learner
"Through the Customer Service Track, I have learnt about the correct strategies for running a business and handling customers. As such, I have benefited immensely as I will be able to apply them in real life scenarios and the next business I enter. For instance, I am aware of the strategies to improve customer engagement and better communicate with them to increase retention. As a result, improving the services and the future business that I enter. I highly recommend all to attend!”
Ng Mun Heng, Francis
SGUS Learner
"Before the Customer Track, I didn’t know that vision, mission & value of the company can lead to better strategy planning which can be connected and related to the people in the company and their performance which further connected down to the customers and their experiences. It changes the way I look at things now. I have been trying hard in my life to relate to those vision, mission and value statements of the previous company and cannot link them up to work. Now with better understanding, I can manage my internal customers by aligning department goals and individual goals with the company’s vision, mission and value. With the understanding of the customer, I now have progressive mindset to connect with customers.”
Beh Keng Siong Ignatius
SGUS Learner
"The Customer Track has taught me useful models and frameworks to understand and analyze issues related to customer service excellence. The frameworks and models are very practical, easy to understand as well as to handy to apply in actual environment and situations. Some of the relatable frameworks and models are the Customer F.I.R.S.T Framework and Personal Canvas. Attending the class exposes me to the blind spots that are often overlook in attempts to improve customer service. Now I am able to view issues on customer service with more empathy and appreciation, especially on how building a delightful customer experience it is intertwined with the other aspects of the company’s operations like the Customer Service Journey and Service Touchpoints. I can relate most to the part about handling difficult customer and managing difficult situations. From the vivid and relevant examples shared by the course facilitator, I have learnt that there are ways in which we can turn the “storms” situations into a pleasant experience, by adopting certain tactics such as empathy, staying focus on customers’ needs and adopting the spirit of inquiry.”
Mohamad Latiff Bin Rahmat, Director(Technology)
Training Industry
"I have gained so much from this Customer Service Track! First of all, I gained a thorough understanding of the process for strategic planning, knowing ourselves & empathizing with others. I need to focus on my objectives of staying happy and motivated. Secondly, I know the importance of working independently as well as being an effective team player. This will ensure that we can uphold service standards and establish strong customer relations. I have also benefited in terms of the shift in my mindset. The facilitator was able to encourage me to look at scenarios from different perspectives and put ourselves in the shoes of the customers. Lastly, I will definitely be able to apply in this my future workplace. The Customer Service Track has taught me beyond service standards. I will be able to use what I have learnt at my workplace as well, by maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships with my co-workers.”
Chang Wai Harn
SGUS Learner
"Able to tap into creativity in thinking outside the box is one of the key takeaways I have for the Customer Track. To retain customers, we must learn how to engage them and provide good customer service. Throughout the class, the facilitator has provided many real-life scenarios, practical examples and case studies. I can easily relate to these and with all that are provided, the various concepts and principles behind these examples can be clearly understood and applied to the business environment. This Customer Track also helped me rediscover and understand myself better. Having proper understanding of the environment, the people and knowing how to positively influence others is important to build peak performance.”

Growing Enterprise Module 4: Sales
"I have worked in the sales line throughout my career. I thought I know everything in sales. Just within the few hours in the morning session of the first day class, I realised that I am wrong. I could not even answer the few basic questions about sales. The three day class really got my full attention and focus. This course is an eye-opener for me as it really gets me think deeper on the key definition of sales on how we can plan and perform better to engage with customers to close the deal. Thanks to the facilitator! After repeating at least three times in the class, this statement will always be in my mind “Sales is about matching products and services to our targeted customers in exchange of money via a proper plan to achieve targets.” The class is truly engaging and interactive. A lot of real life experiences and examples are being shared. We were also given many opportunities to put the knowledge into practise. I was given a toy gun physically and asked to sell to the class on the first day. On second day, as a team, we designed a product factsheet. Our team designed one for a high end premium condominium situated at the Orchard. The third day assignment is most challenging yet fun. We were tasked to sell to a panel of external judges consisting of SMU students and staff. I really enjoyed the class and truly believe I can gain more by attending the other three modules under this RESULTS programme. Immediately after the class, I have written my review to my HR and MD to seek approval for enrolment to the other three modules and recommending that our colleagues should also go for the programme and benefit from it.”
Francis Tan, Sales Director
Food Manufacturing Industry
"Two parts of the Sales lesson impacted me much. First is on the sales closing techniques. I find those techniques are useful and practical that I am able to immediately apply at my daily work. Second part is on the moving on with rejections. None of the previous training I attended highlight on this critical point. Indeed I agree that the more rejections we get, the better we can do our sales better. Also at the right time, instead of stubbornly holding on to the impossible leads, we shall disqualify them and spending our limited resources on the right prospects. SP Homes is new establishment that using industry 4.0 technology to produce customised furniture in mass production way. I will build what I have learnt in this module as part of the OJT to my newly recruited young executives.”
Arjen Wong, Director

"Human by nature yearns to make purchase. The purchase makes us feel good and happy. So everyone is finding reasons or excuses to buy. When we are unable to sell, the issue lies in us. I need to find the “feel good” factor for my customers to buy more from us. As a sales, I am creating “happiness” for customers.”
Benny Ong, Senior Sales Executive

"As a regional business development, my duty is to expand our business to overseas. One part of the training talks about using of effective communication too. It comes in very handy as those are exactly the tools we shall explore to communicate our brands to more people and more countries.”
Feon Fong, Senior Regional Business Development Manager
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"Before coming to this Sales module, I used to think sales is very simple - you go out and try get someone to buy your products. I never know the nitty gritty go into how to sell, how to close a sale. During the past two days when we going through all the plans and frameworks. Finally I understood that Sales is not a simple things and it is very complicated. Most of people out there doing sales now are losing out valuable information to help them get the sales. From today onwards, I am confident that my sales will be able to increase two folds, three folds even to hundred folds in the future.”
Kevin Cheng, Asst Manager of Business Development
Pest Control Industry
"There are three different types of targets we need to set in sales. Our current way is to set one sales target for our sales personnel. At this sales class, I learnt that we need to set three targets especially when we launch new products and services. The three targets are for Early Innovators, Early Adopters and Early Majority. These three targets are about 50% of what we can achieve. We will need positive reviews and words of mouth at the first two stage to drive sales to attract more people to reach the early majority stage.”
Andy Goh, Manager
Air Conditioning Industry
"Through the class I have learnt the true value of money. The value of money is dependent on every individual’s perception of the importance of this medium of exchange to them. Value of money is relating to the time needed to earn them. Understanding this fundamental concept allows me to understand why some customers feel our products are expensive while some others don’t. This also allows me to better pitch to my customers through this new perspective.”
Faye Chen, Business Development Executive
Seafood Industry
"I find the ability in handling objections is powerful as we can turn the impossible to possibly by applying the right techniques. Also we need to know when to “disqualify” prospects so we won’t waste time. These techniques are very helpful for our frontline employees to spend time effectively to target on the right prospects. This is the area that I will want to guide my frontline staff.”
Wendy Ho, CEO
Beauty & Wellness Industry
"Doing sales is like planting. Plant the ideas in the mind of customer is the same concept as seeding. Once we are able to put the “seed” in the brain of customers, there is a higher chance to close the sales.”
Claire Chua, HR Manager
Food Industry
"Understanding the different types of prospects allows me to adapt and respond to them. The four different types of prospects are price sensitive, challenging, knowledgeable and affluent. I would categorize our prospects as knowledgeable. They require information and facts to make purchase decision. As a salesperson, I need to educate them. I will work with my colleagues to look into our current ways of pitching to our prospects and to make adjustment to ensure we give our prospects the required information to facilitate their purchase decision.”
Goi Hidekazu, Assistant Sales Manager
Food Manufacturing Industry
"When I looked through the brochure of this RESULTS programme, I find the programme is comprehensive and will be beneficial for me. I was so looking forward to attend my very first module which is this Sales module. I shared this programme with my boss and he is very supportive and grants me the permission to attend the programme without the need of applying for leave. I told my boss that I would also want to get my two Managers to attend too if I find the training is useful. After first day of the lesson, I decided that I will want to get my two managers to enrol for the programme too. I have new idea that I would like to implement in my division, and I need my managers to implement them together with me to bring better results. After second day of the lesson, I realised that this training is very different from the training that I have attended before. It is not only about work, it broadens my mind and perspective as a person. I have a 27-year-old son working in the F&B industry. I find that this programme is useful for him. Their competition ground is the world and to fight well in this battle, he needs such training that can broaden his mind and perspectives. I would fund him for the programme if his company doesn’t do so. As a father, it is my duty to ensure he gets the best thing in life and enjoys useful and practical training like I did. One of the things I would like to implement is to come out a proper sales plan as it is just like a GPS to let us know where we are, when is the right time to make the right move and make adjustment when we took the wrong route. I strongly believe that our division will perform better and more productive when we have the sales plan.”
Suradi, Sales Manager
Air Conditioning Industry
"The class started with a Warning page stating that the class has to be ready for frontline action - to have direct contact, to face the fire and all our toes at all times and to get things done. Immediately thereafter I was given an opportunity to sell wooden clips to the class - facing the class as my audience; think of the relevant pointers to sell the product to the class and try to get the class to buy. I did not manage to sell but this frontline action term ingrained in me.”
Yasir, Operations Executive
Furniture Rental Industry
"I am in the fashion industry. Our company is selling the high end premium clothings and accessories. It is critical for me and also our frontline employee to be able to take the consultative approach to understand the value that is important to them and knowing why they buy. Instead of focusing on the features and benefits, we shall focus more on the value. We are doing a series of Facebook Live every Thursday evening. I will suggest to the team that we shall emphasise more on the values that our products and service that our customers care.”

Workshop on Managing Difficult Customers and Situations
"It was a very fun class. Unlike any other workshops, it is very engaging and easy to understand. As a Guest Service Executive working in a hotel, I always encounter guests that request for early check in. In scenarios where we cannot offer them this option, they would turn unreasonable & demand for an early check in. In the past, I would not know how to handle such a situation but after attending this workshop, I am now equipped with the skills to handle such a situation. I would highly recommend this workshop as it is useful and I am able to apply it back to my workplace.”
Nur Shaqillah

"This workshop has exceeded my expectations! As an assistant outlet manager in a reputable hotel, this workshop has equipped me with relevant skills to handle both internal & external customers. During this Covid19 situation, the management wants us to clear our leave by a certain date, resulting in complaints from my staff. After the workshop, I applied what I have learnt by sitting down with them to hear their concerns and explained to them the purpose. Now, they are willing to clear their leave. For external customers, I have encountered various rude & demanding customers in the hotel's restaurant where they comment that the buffet price is too expensive. If it happens again, I will know what to do. I will first show respect to them, be firm & then focus on identifying their needs. Thank you Universal Stage!”
Thanaselan

"In my line of work as a Senior Customer Service Officer, I face fierce and angry customers whenever I need to chase for payment. Before the workshop, I realise that whenever I deal with such customers, I will panic and not know what to do. However, after attending this workshop conducted by the very experienced trainer, I have learnt the techniques on how to deal with angry customers. I have learnt to practice patience and exercise good listening skills. I would highly recommend this workshop to my colleagues and friends as it will benefit them greatly.”
Sally Chan
Cooking Appliances Industry
"This workshop has taught me to respond, rather than react to difficult situations around me. For example, when I deal with internal staff like my colleagues, there are moments where they can become unreasonable in their requests. Now that I have attended this workshop, I have become more confident and I have learnt what it means to say “No” in a firm but polite manner. In the past, I used to be defensive and at times, overly apologetic when it is not even my fault. Kudos to the trainer and Universal Stage team for their awesome service, content and delivery! I will highly recommend this workshop to my friends, relatives and colleagues!”

For example, whenever there are complaints from dissatisfied customers, instead of passing the complaint to my superior, I can solve it myself by keeping an open mind so I can solve the issue in a calming manner. From now onwards, I will not take the easy way out in managing difficult customers and situations. Well done Universal Stage!”
