Lessons to be Learned from WRS Business

I went to the house of my niece to attend the birthday party of her husband, there I met the relatives of her husband who came all along from Bolinao, Pangasinan.

One of the relatives happened to own a water station there and actually a franchise of one of the famous company here in Manila who does the franchising of water refilling station.

He has lots of concern about the operations of his station, as if he is at a lost. The first thing that came to my mind was that, this man in front of me does not deserve to suffer all of these.

If given a chance that all of his financial investment will be refunded to him, he will be very thankful. However, things will not happen that way and realistically speaking, his only choice is to continue his SUFFERINGS with hopes that things will get better in the near future.

I had given him lots of advises and explained to him that the LESSON that he learned from his experience, will be his guide for the future decision making that he has to undertake.

What I am trying to impart is that, before engaging in a particular business, be sure to study all its details so that you will not regret later.

The poor man is a father of an OFW worker and the capital that was invested was a product of the sweat and blood of his dear son that turned out to nothing.

I was able to contact the agent that handled the transaction and he told me that he already resigned from the company prior to its installation.

He told me that the company should assumed the responsibilities that he left and not to put the blame on him.

As you assess this story, who do you think should be blamed? As for my personal point of view, it is always the company that should be in control of everything.

Agents are just representatives of the company, whatever agreement that would transpire between the agent and the client should always be recognized by the company and must always be binding when it comes to business.

It is the responsibility of the company to breed sales agents that are PROFESSIONAL enough to discuss and present the concept of water station business. Presentation should be transparent coupled with social obligation to ensure that clients will be getting the worth of what they paid for.
