Co-organized by MGM, Parafuturo de Macau (PFM Macau) and Macao Young Entrepreneur Incubation Centre (MYEIC), the “MYEIC x MGM Young Entrepreneur Nurturing Program” has come to the third session, which took place on October 16. Frederica Fok, Vice President of Customer Relationship Marketing of MGM, was invited as the guest speaker for this session. She suggested that entrepreneurs shall first create a “great story” for its own business to increase brand awareness and acceptance, which would ultimately help strengthening customer relationships.
Started in June this year, this two-year Program offers members of MYEIC a series of eight professional mentoring sessions by industry professionals, where the participants are exposed to industry standards and practices. To date, the three sessions have attracted a participation of over a hundred young entrepreneurs.
With abundant experience in the customer service field, Fok shared her expertise on management of customer relationships during this latest sharing session. She especially explained how utilizing data analytics may increase market reach and deliver enhanced service experience, which eventually boost customer engagement. She took MGM’s current model as an example of combining advance technologies and human resources to collect consumer data such as consuming habits and interests. The key to success as well as the challenging part, is to analyze the massive amount of data and capture those that are relevant to generate new strategies for customer service staff to execute.
On how to promote products to large enterprises, a question asked by many participating young entrepreneurs, Fok once again stressed the importance of having a “great story”, which would lead to strong branding that can transfer to customer experience, an element MGM focuses on. She then concluded that the key to stand out is to have a product that fits the business direction of MGM and can be applied to promote its business.
The sharing session was attended by a lineup of guests, including Ngai Lap San, Deputy CEO of MYEIC; Michelle Chiu, Vice President of Human Resources of MGM; Simon Leong, Executive Director of Purchasing of MGM; and San Choi, Deputy Director of MYEIC.
