Preface

On 23 December 2009 the Star reported

ldquoThe property sector may experience an oversupply next year due to a burst of launches from developers that have been held back since the start of the global economic crisisrdquo

Association of Valuers Property Managers Estate Agents and Property Consultants in the Private Sector Malaysia (PEPS) president James Wong said developers would need to come up with

ldquocreative waysrdquo to maximise salesrdquo

Limitation

The list of creative ways presented in this presentation were developed based on the desk research I have performed and the judgement call I have made As you may know appropriate strategies could only be derived after going through a complete strategic marketing planning process and desk research has a lot limitations the data could be outdated inaccurate and incomplete My main objective is to convince you that I can contribute significantly to the sales growth of SHC by bringing in creative ways of business development not currently applied by the competition and are built on the current practises without over elaborating on the background information to justify the options selected It is my intention to keep the information presented in this presentation short and concise as not to bore you The creative ways that I am suggesting are designed to exploit the weaknesses in the competition creating new competitive advantages for SHC and hence achieving the objective of maximising SHC sales

Preface

On 23 December 2009 the Star reported

ldquoThe property sector may experience an oversupply next year due to a burst of launches from developers that have been held back since the start of the global economic crisisrdquo

Association of Valuers Property Managers Estate Agents and Property Consultants in the Private Sector Malaysia (PEPS) president James Wong said developers would need to come up with

ldquocreative waysrdquo to maximise salesrdquo

Limitation

The list of creative ways presented in this presentation were developed based on the desk research I have performed and the judgement call I have made As you may know appropriate strategies could only be derived after going through a complete strategic marketing planning process and desk research has a lot limitations the data could be outdated inaccurate and incomplete My main objective is to convince you that I can contribute significantly to the sales growth of SHC by bringing in creative ways of business development not currently applied by the competition and are built on the current practises without over elaborating on the background information to justify the options selected It is my intention to keep the information presented in this presentation short and concise as not to bore you The creative ways that I am suggesting are designed to exploit the weaknesses in the competition creating new competitive advantages for SHC and hence achieving the objective of maximising SHC sales

Limitation

The list of creative ways presented in this presentation were developed based on the desk research I have performed and the judgement call I have made As you may know appropriate strategies could only be derived after going through a complete strategic marketing planning process and desk research has a lot limitations the data could be outdated inaccurate and incomplete My main objective is to convince you that I can contribute significantly to the sales growth of SHC by bringing in creative ways of business development not currently applied by the competition and are built on the current practises without over elaborating on the background information to justify the options selected It is my intention to keep the information presented in this presentation short and concise as not to bore you The creative ways that I am suggesting are designed to exploit the weaknesses in the competition creating new competitive advantages for SHC and hence achieving the objective of maximising SHC sales
