Feb 2012 - Apr 2014
Assisting FM Cosmetics Malaysia MD to Set Up New MLM Company in Malaysia, Products Registration, Licensing, Business & Products Training, Roadshow and Introduction of Business all over Malaysia for Distributors, Mobile Stockist & Leader Stockist. Member Of FM International Orchid Club & Group Business Adviser for more than 7000 distributor In Malaysia. About FM World: Generally unusual stories begin with a statement describing that at the very beginning there was an idea. However, in the case of the FM GROUP this would not be entirely true. Honesty demands that to properly describe this firm’s history, it must be said that at the very beginning there were at least a few revolutionary ideas that in a very short time translated into a huge international success story. Would you like to know how this has been done? Please read on. Although relatively new to the market this firm can already claim: WE ARE THE LEADERS. When Artur Trawiński registered FM GROUP POLAND in September 2004, success was already in the air literally because his own family (who have a strong history in the perfume industry) invested into the perfumery. Beautiful fragrances were the perfect choice: thousands of people buy perfumes all over the world. Initially FM GROUP offered 50 elegant and lasting fragrances. However, very quickly it became apparent that its offerings needed to be increased – today in its catalogue you can find 180 of the most fascinating scents in the world including ones enriched with pheromones.
