QNET, a company of Asian heritage and a part of the US$178.5 billion global direct selling industry, has entered the buoyant direct selling sector in Myanmar by the launch of an Agency office at La Pyae Wunn Business Center on 8th March.
It expected to elevate standards of living by garnering the spirit of entrepreneurship amongst non-business background individuals.
“QNET firmly believes that there is nothing more empowering to individuals than the financial freedom that a career in the direct selling industry provides, and we believe the people of Myanmar, with their ambition and strong sense of entrepreneurship, will appreciate the quality consumer products we sell and the business opportunities we offer” said Mr. Stevenson Charles, south East Asia regional general manager of QNET.
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is targeted to be launched at the end of 2015, with the aim of grouping ASEAN countries into a single economic block.
He also added that the AEC 2015 is a game changer as as it will enhance business facilitation and connectivity within ASEAN. QNET’s objective in Myanmar is similar to that of the AEC which is to realize a com- munity that is politically cohesive, economically integrated, socially responsible and a truly people oriented, and people-centered. The World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA), which QNET is affiliated through the Direct Selling Associations of Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, reported that global retail sales from direct selling in 2013 grew 8.1 percent, year-on-year, rising to US$178.5 billion.
The company, optimizing on the usage of the e-commerce platform, has contracted with local company, Kyi Min Brothers Group of Companies to provide local customer support to people in Myanmar and display the QNET products.
QNET provides a wide range of life enhanc- ing products that are offered through its proprietary e-commerce platform to cus- tomers and distributors in over 100 countries.
