- 41. Wanna Be One of The Millionaires?
10 Tips How-To
Work with the Telcos
Copyright%©%2007%MIMOS%Berhad,% page% 41!
- 42. The 10 TIPS – How-To
1. Survey the market and survey the apps that have been launch by the
telcos in Malaysia. Do not duplicate things which have been launched
unless yours is being proven to be better (features and can get more
revenue).
2. Ensure you have good technical support to convince the telcos. A good
product need to have proper customer service support and clear
product roadmap. Its not something which is "one-off" sort of app. You
cannot simply "run" away after selling the product to the telcos.
3. Have a system that can consolidate your data (traffic) against the telcos.
There might be variances that you might challenge with the telcos. And
normally the telcos have the right to use their traffic data to make
payment to you.
4. Ensure your apps have the right capability to charge the customers.
5. Get a reliability system to host your application. Cannot afford any
downtime.

- 43. The 10 TIPS – How-To
6. A telco can commercialize with a techno-preneur but if possible
(advisable), work with an established company (CPs) that have establish
relationship with the telcos to be your business partner. Its easier to
convince this way rather than an unknown company.
7. Be flexible in your business model. You might lose in the short term but
gain in long term. There are times when the telcos didn't realize that a
revenue share model can be very risky to them and finally they have to
pay A LOT to the CPs. How they wish they just buy the solution....
8. Get to know the people in the telcos to ensure you have the buy-in.
Some sales life-cycle can be 1 month but some can be 6-12 months
period. Don't expect fast wins.
9. Don't raise your hope so much if there is a verbal agreement from the
telcos. Things are so "volatile"... Decisions can change very fast. Get an
official award letter.
10. Ensure that your products have the trust from the customers. Don't
cheat them and try to make fast money.
