apa yang harus saya lakukan produk apa
yang harus saya kembangkan menjadi
sebuah perusahaan besar untuk masa depan
saya nanti
e suatu hari saya ketemu sama teman saya
yang memakai produk sweet rajut dan saya
pikir itu unik bagus dan stylish maka
saya Bertanya kepadanya di mana dia
membeli produk
tersebut Seiring berjalannya waktu saya
diketemukan dengan pemilik pabrik
pembuatan rajut setelah saya bertemu
dengan pemilik pabrik kemudian saya
berdiskusi dengan beliau mengenai jenis
bahan bahan apakah yang paling bagus
beliau menyatakan katun
Setelah 1 tahun berjalan ternyata produk
cowok lebih banyak diminati dibandingkan
dengan produk sweiter cewek maupun
anak-anak sehingga saat itu saya
memutuskan untuk memilih produk cowo
sebagai produk andalan guda dan sampai
saat ini kita dinamakan sebagai guda
menkit
[Musik]
sweater berjualan secara offline saya
lakukan dengan menjajakkannya kepada tem
teman-teman saya di lingkungan sekitar
rumah ataupun di kantor saya seing
berjalannya waktu saya ingin
mengembangkan pasar dan saya pikir
berjualan secara online merupakan cara
yang tepat di era modern ini sepertinya
internet sudah menjadi rumah kedua bagi
Kebanyakan orang di dunia untuk kegiatan
teknologi bisnis hingga pendidikan
sekalipun kemudian saya mencari
informasi mengenai cara berjualan online
dan saya menemukan sebuah video unik
mengenai Mall online di es dan itu
Tokopedia kemudian saya memutuskan untuk
mendaftarkan diri di Tokopedia secara
gratis dan saya ingat pembelian pertama
itu ada di bulan Juni
2013 kelebihan Tokopedia sendiri menurut
saya adalah yang pertama dia mudah
digunakan baik untuk pembeli maupun
untuk menjual praktis dan efisien dan
yang kedua adalah transparan Kenapa saya
sebut transparan karena di sana pembeli
bisa langsung merreview produk kita dan
bisa berdiskusi langsung dengan kita
melalui form diskusi dan yang terakhir
adalah dari apps Android saya pikir Apps
Android untuk Tokopedia mudah digunakan
kapanpun di manapun kita bisa melihat
pesanan baru ataupun review dan diskusi
dari pembeli langsung ke smartphone kita
terlebih saat ini smartphone sudah
berada di mana-mana orang sudah dengan
mudahnya dapat tersambung dengan
internet hingga 24 jam bahkan data
menunjukkan bahwa jumlah ponsel akan
melebihi jumlah penduduk di dunia saat
ini sehingga kesempatan untuk
memanfaatkan internet lebih jauh akan
terbuka lebar untuk mencari referensi
ataupun untuk berbisnis online kelebihan
dari produk go muda men SC ser adalah
yang pertama dari segi desain desain
yang kami usung adalah desain yang
simpel namun juga tetap stylish sehingga
bisa dipakai untuk ngantor kuliah
ataupun santai yang kedua adalah dari
segi bahan bahan yang kita pakai adalah
bahan rajut katun 12 gauge yang berarti
bahwa bahan tidak terlalu tipis juga
tidak tebal sehingga cocok untuk iklim
tropis di Indonesia dan yang ketiga
adalah dari packaging kita selalu
maksimalkan packaging supaya ketika
sampai di penerima masih dalam keadaan
rapi motivasi hidup saya adalah menjadi
orang yang bermanfaat bermanfaat bagi
diri sendiri bagi keluarga bagi orang
yang di sekeliling saya juga bagi orang
