The day before yesterday, the company organized all employees to watch "Dying to Survive" together in the afternoon. So, the company’s large group of people booked the cinema across the street.
Before watching this film, I was also very much looking forward to it. After all, the overwhelming positive reviews online and the stellar cast led by Xu Zheng gave me enough courage to enter the cinema. Indeed, during the viewing, laughter and tears flowed together, and the line "Can you guarantee that you won't get sick for a lifetime?" was a soul-stirring question. Yes, no one can guarantee that they will never get sick. But life is full of thorns; we can only encourage each other to take care of our health and work hard to earn money when we have the chance.
After returning from the movie, I calmed down and realized that this film is quite profound. Especially in discussions with colleagues, I was surprised to find that many people think that doing e-cigarette micro-business is difficult. This movie vividly illustrates the various secrets of succeeding in e-cigarette micro-business, almost identical! Therefore, risking the exposure of these secrets, I would like to share some classic e-cigarette micro-business secrets that appeared in this movie, which may help you in your e-cigarette micro-business endeavors.
Subjective Situation
In the film,
The protagonist, Cheng Yong, is an ordinary citizen who smokes, smuggles, sells counterfeit drugs, and abuses his wife, but we believe he is still a good man. He struggles to support his child, who is about to be taken abroad by his mother, while his father is hospitalized. He relies on selling Indian aphrodisiacs for a living but cannot even afford rent. It seems he has no prospects in life. However, his father's illness and love for his child prompt him to change his situation and take the risk of starting a new business.
If he had encountered a successful mentor or an ambitious young person at that moment, he would undoubtedly have devoted his limited life to unlimited cognitive upgrades, iterative thinking, knowledge enrichment, and value updates. But reality did not allow him to undergo any micro-business training or download any micro-business tutorials, nor did he purchase any paid courses. He simply had the determination to change his situation and directly took on the smuggling drug micro-business agency.
Reality
Whether you admit it or not, those who engage in micro-business often have a tenacity that arises from desperation. They may not have many advantages in education, and they may struggle for a living, but once given an opportunity, they seize it with great resilience. Moreover, change often comes from family and children. There is no fear of wolves in front or tigers behind; as long as there is an opportunity, they will fight for it, wanting to improve themselves and ensure that their loved ones can live better.
Product Demand
In the film,
Cheng Yong decides to import counterfeit drugs from India after meeting Lu Shouyi, a leukemia patient. Lu Shouyi cannot afford the genuine medicine, which costs 40,000 yuan per bottle, and he needs one bottle a month. That amounts to 480,000 yuan a year. He represents a small but highly precise group with strong product demand. Although this group is small, their purchasing intent is very strong, which is why Cheng Yong's goods can sell.
Reality
Every product has its unique audience. The difference lies in whether this audience is mainstream or niche. Take our e-cigarette micro-distribution products as an example; the e-cigarette market is vast. In the UK, many hospitals recommend e-cigarettes to patients for smoking cessation. In China, the e-cigarette market is just starting. China has the largest smoking population in the world, and with the nationwide smoking ban, the public's health awareness is increasing. With so many people developing cancer from smoking each year and secondhand smoke harming their loved ones, this market is unmatched even by Europe. Capturing the opportunity with keen insight is, I believe, the most important aspect of doing micro-business.
E-Cigarette Market Size Supply and Channels
In the film,
Cheng Yong finally found a supplier and worked hard to obtain the rights of the Chinese distributor, ensuring that this batch of counterfeit drugs could save lives. After bringing them back to China, they initially adopted a ground-pushing model, secretly running between hospitals, pharmacies, and rental houses, asking if anyone wanted to know about Indian medicine, just like a phone thief. This sales model is inefficient, costly, and has a low conversion rate, causing the business to stagnate at the starting stage. No matter how good the product is, if the sales channel and method are wrong, it will be a losing effort.
By chance, a brilliant idea was born—find a group leader! A group leader has hundreds or thousands of group members behind them, all of whom are precise target consumers. As long as they capture this key minority, with the group leader's influence as a guarantee, their credibility as a backing, and their call to action as a push, what obstacles can stand in their way? Thus, they gathered a group of group leaders from patient support groups and held a meeting in a humble eatery, and their micro-business venture took off like wildfire, breaking through obstacles. Cheng Yong and his team quickly reached the pinnacle of their lives using a purchasing + micro-business marketing model. You see, this illustrates the importance of finding the right method.
Reality
As a micro-business, we are also law-abiding citizens of this country. We are confident that every product has passed national quality inspections. The Jai e-cigarette is a collaborative development between the Imperial Tobacco Group and our parent company, the Borton Group, and is very popular in the UK, having received EU food and drug safety certification. The Firearm e-cigarette company holds up to 5,716 patents in the e-cigarette industry, ranking first in China, so the product quality is undoubtedly reliable.
Why choose micro-business to buy e-cigarettes? Channel advantages: mobile phone social channels. Because this channel has the closest relationships between people and the highest trust levels. The future of transactional social commerce is the way to go. Micro-business is currently the highest social interaction and trust value in all transactional behaviors. Therefore, this industry is receiving more and more attention and recognition from the system. In the micro-business industry, all agents can gain the most, not just financially. Various training courses, team building, etc., are incomparable to other industries.
System and Division of Labor
In the film,
After Cheng Yong obtained the sales agency rights, he teamed up with Lu Shouyi, Huang Mao, Liu Sihui, and Pastor Liu to form a team. They had channels, translation, finance, and group management all covered. This small team was simple yet effective, achieving peak performance together.
Reality
Building a micro-business team is very important! A strong micro-business operation team and a complete after-sales system are standard configurations. This forms a team. However, do not underestimate this small team; we can often create miracles. Whether it’s refining the product's selling points or sending daily materials in the circle of friends, our team can help distributors handle it, allowing them to easily get started by simply forwarding the materials we share, effortlessly managing the e-cigarette micro-business.
That's all.
"Dying to Survive" is indeed a great movie. Just as a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, different people will have different interpretations of "Dying to Survive."
By the second time Cheng Yong sold drugs, his motivation was no longer for money; his actions were noble and great, and should not be measured from a commercial perspective.
Doing e-cigarette micro-business can also be seen as a kind of public welfare, as helping friends in your circle use e-cigarettes to replace cigarettes reduces their harm from tobacco to themselves and their families. This can be considered a meritorious cause.
Analyzing it from the perspective of e-cigarette micro-business is just our interpretation as e-cigarette micro-business people.
