Last week, I received a call from Rahman - HDS pre-sales Manager telling me that one of his engineers, Daniel Ooi is resigning. He sounded a bit disappointed. When I heard that, I was disappointed, too.
Daniel started with us abt 2 years ago - coming from CA. I have seen him grown and he is beginning to be a strong contributor for us. I am, at the same time happy as he is leaving us for Springlab (our distributor) as a Sales person. He will be selling HDS. He had wanted to move to sales but I didn't have an opportunity for him due to the timing and our need.
I met with Daniel a few days ago and the first thing that he asked was for some advise that he can take with hm... I told him that as a sale person, he has to just " focus on the numbers" and I told him why :
"if you have the numbers, and no politics
- no one can touch you, but
if you have no numbers but only politics
- no one can save you"
Below is a picture taken during our recent successful HDS Malaysia User Conference
that was held on 18 Aug 2009. Daniel is fourth from the left.
On the HDS Malaysia User Conference - it was a very successful event that was spearheaded by our Marketing Manager, Pooi Fong. We had more than 2x the attendees as compared to last year and 12 sponsors as compared to 7 last year. Starhub (Singapore) and JPN, spoke at our event. Overall, I am very proud of the team that I have at HDS Malaysia!!
