aminations, Siti joined Estee Lauder. “I have always had an interest in beauty and being a counter manager involved in sales and marketing brought me great satisfaction,” says Siti of her first job.
It was while working there that she met Idris Arshad, her future husband. Soon the two married and after three years, decided to start a family. She says, “I had difficulty conceiving and the doctor ordered complete rest. So I gave up my job.”
“I felt completely lost without a job and without my own income. I felt a little cut off from the world. Like I lost my independence somehow. But for the time-being, I tried to adjust,” she said.
Then one day Tupperware Brands came her way. She says, “I was immediately drawn to the products at a Tupperware Brands kiosk. I decided to purchase about RM500 worth of products but the distributor running the kiosk persuaded me to sign up so I could enjoy the discounts.” She also invited me to an assembly was being held by her business leader, and there were lots of free gifts handed out.
Siti found herself very eager to pursue Tupperware Brands as a serious business. “I attended numerous training sessions after that. I took my kids along because I had no babysitter at the time. I had the youngest in a stroller and the other sitting beside me with his colouring book and crayons. It was little tough but I’ve no regrets,” she says.
The training soon paid off. “In my first week, I made sales of RM1,000 just by showing the catalogue to friends. At my Announcement Party the second week, 12 people signed-up as downlines. What’s more, I made sales of RM1,800. It was amazing. My commission was RM400 and I received special recognition for my efforts at the next assembly!” Siti exclaims.
“I soon realised Tupperware Brands products sold easily. Plus I loved meeting new people and I loved training them on how to use BeautiControl products. Being from the beauty line myself, I guess I loved this part of the business especially,” she explains.
Since then Siti has been to numerous countries on incentive trips for hitting her sales targets over and over again. She gushes, “I’ve been all over the world, and I absolutely love it! I’ve been to Switzerland, Russia, Australia, Vietnam, Egypt, Thailand and I just returned from Beijing in China. I feel so blessed.”
