Work Hard, Play Hard, Win Big
Meet PM-International Malaysia! It is one of the most promising subsidiaries of the PM-International family. A young, spirited, dynamic, and strong entrepreneurial team works together hand in hand toward well-established goals.
Why Malaysia?
A few basics: A total population of about 31 million people spreads across two peninsulas, East and West Malaysia. It’s a 3-hour flight to get from one island to the other. The capital Kuala Lumpur is home to the famous 88 story Petronas Twin Towers (movie fans among you may know them from Entrapment, starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones). Tropical weather brings joy all year round. So, keep that in mind for your next vacation plans.
And then some: Malaysia has much more to offer than nice weather, secluded islands, and beautiful beaches. The economy is strong. Its growth is expected to continue this year, on its way to achieve the high-income status. Direct sales businesses are no stranger to Malaysia. They have solidified their position on the market. The total turnover of the industry is expected to be more than 2 billion US Dollars in 2020.
Generational Effort
PM-International is one of over 3000 direct sales companies in Malaysia – and it has been so for 15 years already. It has become a household name, with a loyal customer base of 25.000 Malaysians. Not only that, it is also the only direct sales company “Made in Germany” that was able to take root. Within the PM family, Malaysia was the first Asian subsidiary and had the first Asian Gold Presidents and St. Tropez qualifiers. When father CK Yung brought the business to Malaysia in 2003, he became a pioneer for direct sales and a true inspiration for his son Paul. Since taking over from his father in 2016, Paul Yung has successfully continued the family business. And who is the hero he looks up to keep working hard? PM-International founder and group CEO, Rolf Sorg. Yung says: “Rolf Sorg is a real visionary and inspiring figure, I consider myself very fortunate to be able to work with him.”
Work Hard, Play Hard
All of the team members are extremely involved in the business. Like small energizer bunnies, they just keep on going and going, even on the weekends. No pain, no gain, right? There are no shortcuts when it comes to being successful. Fortunately, you also get out what you put in. In 2017, PM-International Malaysia received an award for being among the Top 100 Fast Moving Small and Medium Sized Enterprises and became the Enterprise of the Month on Entrepreneur Insight October. Paul Yung himself ranks among the Top 100 Most Influential Young Entrepreneurs 2017 and was featured as Entrepreneur of the Month on Entrepreneur Insight in October. Congrats on that!

Think Outside Your Comfort Zone
Click it, view it, like it, share it… business without digital marketing (especially using social media) is doable but why miss out on a chance to reach more people? Since taking over the position of CEO, Paul Yung has increasingly focused on mobile and e-shopping. He wants to reach younger generations and bring them on board. And sure, while digital networking is important, people also still expect direct interaction. That’s why PM-Malaysia plans to expand to a new office soon and open five more sale centers in the next 3 years. The combined effort of online and offline presences aims at reaching half a million Malaysians with FitLine and BeautyLine products by 2020.
Those are big plans. But no worries. PM-Malaysia’s team is full of motivation and passion, and will realize them for sure! You can achieve anything with the right amount of dedication.
More Than Just Colleagues
PM-International started as a family business. And it has adopted family values as part of the corporate culture. Yung says: “I believe in treating the team and our partners like family. Having a strong support system and nurturing the team as best I can, is the excellence I strive for.” Thus, PM-International Malaysia works together as a team while bonding like a family. Jennifer is the Head of Sales Support and embraces PM as her second family. Her assistant Leann feels the same: “I like the working environment and culture because it makes me feel like family.” Even colleagues, who have only been there for a couple of months, are pleasantly surprised by the homely atmosphere.
We believe in doing what we love, and doing it as a family. Together, we are PM!
