How to win the B2B market in Indonesia? This is my 5 tips for all B2B sales leaders in Indonesia, especially if you're expatriate with very limited (or zero) experience in Indonesia market. 1. Manage your expectation. Indonesia is still considered as developing market, and the businesses' adoption for technology is still pretty much behind the other developing market. So, if your products rely so much on the advance technology, brace yourself. You are not walking an easy journey. 2. Low touch is no touch. Unless you are willing to invest in market education and high-touch services, you will find Indonesian market very frustrating. Most of your future clients will expect you to have after-sales-services to entertain and address every concern in a timely manner. Sending your clients links or documents for them to read by themselves is considered as not providing good service. 3. Price sensitive market. It doesn't matter how big the size of business is, every company in Indonesia will always bargain. And it doesn't matter how good your product is, they will always compare with cheaper ones, although they know that it's not comparable apple-to-apple. 4. Time is flexible. Of course, not all companies will purposely delay in making decision to buy your product or not. But trust me, most of them will. Expect at least 2 weeks delay from the initial timeline mentioned by your client. 5. Invest in marketing. Yes, you read it right. In this country, marketing is pretty much needed for B2B products & services. You will be surprised to know how many times business leaders make business purchase right after looking at B2B advertisement. What do you think? Anything I might have missed? #business #sales #Indonesia #B2B

Hey 👋 Let’s meet our LatAm Acquisition Team Leader — Omar Mendez. He’s been working in the iGaming industry for 14 years. Fun facts about Omar: 📍 He hasn’t seen any of Harry Potter movies. 📍He is a big fan of films of Studio Ghibli and GKIDS. 📍As a true Latino he can dance all the night long, especially when salsa, merengue and cumbia music plays. 📍 He loves capturing street scenes and dramatic moments. 📍 He is a true globetrotter: he can’t wait to observe new places and cultures. What is more, Omar has a deep expertise in LatAm market and that is what he says about it: “Understanding "tropicalization" is a key. It’s not enough to just translate our product to Spanish or Portuguese. We need to dive deeper into how people in Latin America feel, communicate, perceive. You need to understand: — Language nuances: It's not just the words, but how they're used and slang they might use. — Cultural behaviors: How people act and what they value might be different from what we're used to. — Social trends: What's popular and what people are talking about in Latin America. — Communication preferences: Do they trust TV ads, read reviews, or listen to influencers more? — Local context: Understanding their currency and economy is important. Is Fintech there yet?”

Something I feel strongly about when operating in international markets is localisation of the consumer facing ‘last mile’ touchpoints. Maybe it’s because I’m Irish and grew up with so many companies approaching Ireland like it’s a bolt on to the UK.  And it’s incredibly frustrating as a consumer when things are in the wrong currency, wrong tone of voice, you can’t enter the competition because your post code is in a different format, and everything just looks and feels like it’s been created with someone more important in mind. It doesn’t cost a lot to localise the last mile touchpoints – correct language & currency, branding in correct tone of voice, familiar brand ambassadors, relevant CRM, correct cultural references, no promotional exclusions, most relevant content brought to the forefront. And it stops you creating PR issues like the sports retailer who put Declan Rice on the side of buses in Dublin after he defected to play for England, or the betting company who had cardboard cut outs of a Rangers legend in betting shops in Ireland. While there is some cost involved I think it’s one of the quickest pay backs you’ll see. I’ve seen incredible growth and success when companies address their lack of localisation and get it right. And I carry the scars of being in organisations that tried to run international markets entirely offshore and getting it wrong. If you’re operating across international markets maybe have a think about whether you’re getting the last mile right. 

"How did you find your cofounder?" has been the most common question I've faced recently. Here are two great places to find a co-founder in South East Asia — or anywhere really: 1. Y Combinator Co‑Founder Matching: YC's platform is essentially a Tinder for founders. You're able to meet founders of all backgrounds from around the globe, but this also accessibility means that the onus of qualifying them rests on you. This is how I met my last two cofounders. 2. Antler: Antler helped my meet my current cofounder, Saral Varavarn. While I used to be a big fan of YC's platform, I've now come to prefer Antler's model — especially if you're actively looking for a cofounder or found a startup. You get to be in the same room with 60+ great people from diverse backgrounds, and by the end of the program, virtually everyone finds a cofounder that's right for them. The founder break-up rate for those who meet here is much lower than the industry average! #startups #venturecapital #Antler #founders #sales

A GOOD LOOK BACK I made a decision to learn some skills that could help me become a better and a holistic Product Manager, to make up for not coming from a software engineering background. And like the Product book would say ‘don't just be a product manager that only tells the team members what to do but also contributes to the overall success of the product’ On my first list of, what other skills can I add to my skill set that will make me stand out in product management was E-mail marketing. I began the class today and the first assessment was to take a retrospect of who we are, what we have done and where we have been. I didn't see that coming but reluctantly, I obliged. Thinking aloud; My first Job ever was a Customer Service Specialist at a restaurant in Lagos and just in a month of working there I drove massive sales through great customer care relationships. My second job was a sales and marketing manager role at a dry cleaning firm. My job was to create compelling sales pitches and ads for the company and also attend to visiting customers and of course I did really well at it through storytelling. We increased sales in a short while! Customers would ask my Boss who he pays to tell compelling and funny stories. lol. While in the University, I went on and built a successful confectionery business that thrived and dominated the market in Nsukka, and also supplied to major cities in nigeria. Employed staff, became a voice on facebook until i realized I just want to be a part of great products leading the world's market. yikes! This was my journey to product management. Interesting yeah? Are you new to product management ? What is yours?

👉 90% of people will never witness the dedication behind your success — no likes, no comments, just silence. I found myself grappling with this during my shifts from consultancy to affiliate marketing, and later to e-commerce ventures in Malaysia. These transitions weren't just career changes; they were seismic life shifts, filled with personal growth and challenges. Questions that haunted me: - 🚀 How can I share my journey effectively? - 🏗️ How will my clients understand the value I offer? - 🌍 How can I make a global impact? 💡 Here’s what I learned: Your audience needs to see your story consistently. Whether it was earning $1,000/day in affiliate marketing🎯 or transforming small businesses' digital footprints🛠️, persistence was key. 🗝️ 🧩 Key Insights: 1. Show up regularly. 2. Share compelling stories — from scaling an affiliate marketing business in Malaysia to building e-commerce success from scratch. 3. Understand that patience and strategy are your best allies. Reality check 🛎️: One post reaches 2-10% of your network. To cut through the noise, repetition is essential. What I teach my clients: - 🎯 Define a clear strategy. - ⏳ Develop patience. - 🔄 Embrace routines. 💪 Ignore these thoughts: - "This isn’t working." 🔄 - "People have already seen this." 👁️ 🙌 Success comes from: - Relentless consistency. - Clear routines. - Flexible strategy. #DigitalMarketing #Persistence #EntrepreneurJourney #Ecommerce #GrowthMindset

Tired of chasing leads and feeling like just another pushy agent in Singapore's competitive market? 🏡 This year, I'm challenging the traditional "sell, sell, sell" mentality. Why? Because in the information age, your potential clients are savvy researchers. They can spot a hard sell from a mile away. Instead, let's focus on building trust and establishing ourselves as experts. Here's what I'm doing to transform my real estate business: Educating, Not Selling: I'm sharing my in-depth knowledge of Singapore's property market through blog posts, videos, and market updates. This isn't just about listings; it's about empowering clients with the information they need to make informed decisions. Building Relationships: I'm making an effort to truly connect with my clients. It's about understanding their unique goals and aspirations, not just closing deals. Thought Leadership: I'm positioning myself as a go-to resource for all things real estate in Singapore. This means sharing market insights, neighborhood guides, and financial planning tips. Inbound Attraction: Forget cold calling! I'm optimizing my website for search engines, engaging on social media, and creating valuable content that draws clients to me organically. Customer First, Always: Every interaction is focused on my clients' needs and preferences. It's about personalized service, not generic sales pitches. If you're a fellow Singapore agent feeling the burnout of the traditional sales grind, I encourage you to give this approach a try. Let's build a business that not only drives results but also creates meaningful connections with our clients. 🤝 #realestatesingapore #propertyagent #thoughtleadership #inboundmarketing #customercentric Are you ready to stop selling and start attracting more clients? Let's connect and discuss how to implement these strategies in your real estate business!
