One of Market Singapore’s main goals is to provide the most effective and efficient service to its UnFranchise® Owners. Each administrative department’s ultimate objective is to be friendly and fair while maintaining consistent and aligned adherence to the requirements of the UnFranchise Business Development System. By supporting and implementing the following general communications prerequisites, UnFranchise Owners and Market Singapore will achieve the best service possible.
(A) Correspondence:
(1) UnFranchise Manual: The policies and procedures found in the Market Singapore UnFranchise Manual govern all functions and activities both in the field and at the corporate office. UnFranchise Owners should have the latest edition of the Manual readily and available for reference when communicating with the corporate office.
(2) Available Media: There are several channels available for communicating with Market Singapore. Among them are fax, mail, telephone or email.
(3) UnFranchise Owner Information: UnFranchise Owners need to ensure that their addresses (mailing, shipping and email when applicable) and telephone numbers are accurate and up to date.
(4) Market Singapore Response: UnFranchise Owners should assemble all supporting documentation and needed information prior to contacting Market Singapore (UnFranchise Owners should contact their upline Certified Executive Coordinator or Certified Trainer for guidance in assembling this information). This information will greatly reduce research time and ensure a timely and accurate response. In addition, UnFranchise Owners should provide the respective department with the best way to get back to them (i.e., phone numbers and times).
(5) UnFranchise Owner Follow-Up: If Market Singapore responds back to a UnFranchise Owner’s inquiry and the company requires additional information, it is the UnFranchise Owner’s responsibility to obtain the information and initiate the follow-up. In the event a follow-up is not initiated, Market Singapore will consider the inquiry satisfied.
(6) Market Singapore Addresses: Sending mail to the wrong address may cause loss of mail and/or processing delays.
Mail all correspondence to Market Singapore’s physical address:
Market Singapore Pte Ltd
51 Cuppage Road, #08-03/06, Singapore 229469
(7) Responsibility/Accountability: Market Singapore cannot be responsible or accountable for mail and/or faxes being delivered on time or as expected. It is advised that UnFranchise Owners check for receipt via their UnFranchise Management System (UFMS) or by calling UnFranchise Services.
(B) Paperwork/Documentation:
(1) UnFranchise Owners are responsible for the validity and accuracy of all paperwork submitted to the company. Market Singapore processes paperwork as it is received. Market Singapore CANNOT alter submitted paperwork, so please make sure it is correct before it is submitted to the company.
(2) All paperwork needs to be mailed on its original form with UnFranchise Owner’s signature, unless otherwise instructed by the company. If a specific representative requests for paperwork to be sent in otherwise, it should go to that representative’s attention.
(3) UnFranchise Owners must stay on top of their businesses. Please deal with problems that may occur in a timely manner. The longer a UnFranchise Owner waits, the more difficult or sometimes less likely, it is to solve the problem. In some cases, UnFranchise Owners could lose valuable time and money.
(C) Telephone Calls:
(1) Please remember that a UnFranchise Owner’s first responsibility is to learn the policies and procedures listed in the UnFranchise Manual. It is also a requirement that UnFranchise Owners are trained by their upline. The upline has a vested interest in making sure downline UnFranchise Owners and their businesses succeed. The upline is a UnFranchise Owner’s point of reference, to which he/she should go for help and advice.
(2) Before contacting the company, UnFranchise Owners should first verify what is in the UnFranchise Manual. Second, UnFranchise Owners should contact their sponsor, Certified Executive Coordinator, Certified Trainer and/or Advisory Council Member. If UnFranchise Owners don’t know these upline UnFranchise Owners, they can call UnFranchise Services for their names and telephone numbers.
(3) Phone calls should be limited to five minutes. UnFranchise Owners need to have all details and information ready. This includes: all UnFranchise Owners names, ID numbers, dates, order numbers, etc. NOTE: If UnFranchise Owners have detailed or multiple questions, or a complicated problem, it is better to send a detailed fax instead.
(4) UnFranchise® Owners should keep a log of the date of each call, the person spoken to, a summary of the problem and the answer that was given. UnFranchise Owners need to allow sufficient time for Market Singapore to respond to the inquiry before calling again. It is a good idea to keep a log of calls to the upline in the same manner as well.
(5) Only one UnFranchise Owner from the field should call the company about a certain situation. That UnFranchise Owner should speak with the same representative until the issue is resolved. If more than one UnFranchise Owner does call, all parties need to deal with the person at the company already handling the problem.
(6) Again, UnFranchise Owners should consult the manual and their upline first before calling the corporate office. The upline should be able to handle most questions or inquiries brought to them. Sometimes, however, UnFranchise Owners need to contact the corporate office. UnFranchise Owners should be sure to call the correct department and/or person regarding each situation (see The Company – Organization).
(7) When UnFranchise Owners receive correspondence (via email, fax, mail, phone or voice mail) from someone in a specific department, they need to deal with that person/department, unless otherwise instructed by the company.
