Tối 16/9, chung kết Hoa hậu Việt Nam 2018 được diễn ra. Trần Tiểu Vy tỏa sáng trở thành tân Hoa hậu Việt Nam nhưng ít ai biết đây cũng là dịp một công ty truyền thông có tên Sen Vàng khẳng định vị thế. Người đứng sau Sen Vàng là một nữ doanh nhân xuất thân nghèo khó, đi lên từ 2 bàn tay trắng.

Ám ảnh cái nghèo

Phạm Kim Dung – nhà sáng lập Sen Vàng là con út trong một gia đình nghèo có tới 8 anh chị em ở xã Tân Quới, huyện Bình Minh, Vĩnh Long.  Lên chín tuổi, gia đình lên TP.HCM với hy vọng thoát khỏi cái nghèo.

Khởi đầu tại một thành phố lớn, cả nhà sống nhờ trong những căn phòng rất nhỏ mà trước đó được dùng để nuôi heo, làm bếp, nhà kho… trong ngôi biệt thự của người quen. Mọi chi tiêu trong nhà đều nhờ vào khoản tiền công ít ỏi mà ba má cô kiếm được từ việc may gia công.

“Tôi sinh ra và lớn lên trong hoàn cảnh thực sự rất nghèo. Để được các bạn trang lứa đi học là cả sự phấn đấu của bản thân mình. Có những thời điểm gia đình quá khó khăn, ba tôi nói là hay là tụi con đi học may.

Đến năm lớp 5 tôi đã ngồi trên máy may phụ gia đình may những đường thẳng của quần áo, ba má làm những khâu tinh xảo hơn. Tôi nói với ba, con vẫn làm nhưng con vẫn muốn đi học. Thực sự lúc đó tôi có nhiều khát vọng, học đàn, học hát nhưng chỉ xin ba đi học văn hóa thôi”, Dung nhớ lại.

“Thời điểm năm nhất đại học, ba tôi mất. Người thuyền trưởng của một con tàu đã mất thì những thuyền viên còn lại phải làm gì. Và thực sự tôi nhìn thấy trong gia đình mình tôi phải nhận nhiệm vụ đó”. Đó là một biến cố lớn với gia đình Dung khi ba cô mất vì không đủ tiền chữa bệnh.

Vừa chân ướt chân ráo bước vào giảng đường đại học Kinh tế Tp. Hồ Chí Minh, Dung chính thức đi làm thuê với công việc khảo sát thị trường tại A.C Nielson. Cô luôn tự nói với chính mình: Sao cũng được nhưng nhất quyết phải thoát nghèo.

Công việc tại A.C Nielson đối với cô sinh viên trẻ là cầm bảng câu hỏi đi khắp Tp. HCM để khảo sát thị hiếu người tiêu dùng ở đủ loại ngành nghề từ ô tô, dầu gội, sữa tắm cho tới sản phẩm ngân hàng.

“Thực sự tôi nghĩ cái bắt đầu đi làm thuê của tôi rất may mắn. Cái bắt đầu luôn cho mình những cái sau đó rất tốt. Đối với A.C Nielson, cho tôi cái nhìn về thị trường. Công việc đầu tiên đi làm kiếm tiền đi học lại cho mình kiến thức nền quá tốt, đến bây giờ vẫn rất tốt”, Kim Dung chia sẻ tại một chương trình talk show về khởi nghiệp mới đây.

Sau 8 năm làm việc tại A.C Nielson, cô sinh viên trẻ năm nào đi từ vị trí phỏng vấn viên cho đến các vị trí cao hơn. Sau khi nghỉ A.C Nielson, Phạm Kim Dung chuyển sang làm việc cho bất động sản Phú Mỹ Hưng với công việc nghiên cứu thị trường và một phần về sự kiện, marketing.

“13 năm trải qua 2 công ty, tôi hài lòng vì tôi không làm cùng 1 công việc mà tôi kinh qua rất nhiều vị trí khác nhau. Cái quan trọng không phải là mình qua bao nhiêu công ty mà mình học được gì từ những công ty hàng đầu như thế”, cô chia sẻ.

Giấc mơ mang tên mình

“Thời đó tôi ở độ tuổi hơn 30. Tôi đã tích lũy được một số tiền, tích lũy được rất nhiều kinh nghiệm và khá nhiều mối quan hệ và muốn có một giấc mơ mang tên mình. Tôi muốn gọi cho đối tác không phải là Dung- A.C Nielson hay Dung Phú Mỹ Hưng mà là Dung Sen Vàng hay ABC nào đó. Mình là mình”, doanh nhân trẻ này tiết lộ lý do khởi nghiệp.

Điều may mắn với Phạm Kim Dung là khi rời khỏi Phú Mỹ Hưng đã nhận được 1 hợp đồng rất lớn, thậm chí đủ nuôi quân trong 1 năm và có một khoản lợi nhuận rất tốt. Lý do Dung chọn truyền thông thay vì bất động sản bởi đỡ rủi ro cũng như có kiến thức nền sẵn.

Công ty Sen Vàng hiện đang hoạt động ở 5 mảng lớn là Tổ chức sự kiện, Trò chơi truyền hình, Phim/ TV show, Radio, Loa phóng thanh.

Với mảng tổ chức sự kiện, Sen Vàng là đối tác chiến lược phối hợp sản xuất nhiều sự kiện lớn như: Liên hoan phim Việt Nam 2015, Hoa hậu Việt Nam 2014, 2016, 2018 (3 hoa hậu đăng quang các năm này là Đặng Thu Thảo, Đỗ Mỹ Linh, Trần Tiểu Vy), cuộc thi Tiếng hát truyền hình 2015, cuộc thi Hoa khôi Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long, Người Đẹp Hoa Anh Đào.

Năm 2017, Sen Vàng và Elite hợp tác thành lập Công ty Giải trí Sen Vàng, chính thức nắm giữ bản quyền của 10 cuộc thi hoa hậu lớn trên thế giới gồm: Hoa hậu Thế giới, Hoa hậu Quốc tế, Hoa hậu Hòa bình Quốc tế, Hoa hậu Du lịch Thành thị, Hoa hậu Du lịch toàn cầu, Nữ hoàng Du lịch quốc tế, Hoa hậu Siêu quốc gia, Hoa hậu Châu Á Thái Bình Dương quốc tế…

Theo đó từ năm 2017, vào các năm chẵn, Sen Vàng vẫn phối hợp với báo Tiền Phong tổ chức cuộc thi Hoa hậu Việt Nam. Những người chiến thắng chắc suất đại diện Việt Nam tại Hoa hậu Thế giới, Hoa hậu Quốc tế, Hoa hậu Hòa bình Quốc tế… của năm đó. Vào năm lẻ, Sen Vàng được quyền tổ chức cuộc thi Hoa hậu Thế giới Việt Nam để chọn thí sinh đi thi Miss World.

Ngoài ra, công ty này còn tham gia vào thị trường dịch vụ Loudspeaker (Loa phóng thanh) với mật độ phủ sóng trên 63 tỉnh thành. Mảng Radio, sở hữu hơn 45 giờ phát chính trên hơn 15 kênh phát thanh phổ biến.

Về mảng chương trình truyền hình, Sen Vàng thực hiện một số gameshow đánh trúng thị hiếu khán giả phía Nam như Tuyệt đỉnh song ca, Thử tài siêu nhí, Tài tử tranh tài hay các TV show như Ký sự pháp đình, câu chuyện cảnh giác,…

Tôi không bao giờ cho phép mình an toàn. Tôi luôn đặt ra áp lực để bản thân phải cố gắng liên tục. Guồng quay công việc rất khủng khiếp và sự cạnh trạnh cũng rất khốc liệt, nếu tôi cho mình một ngày an toàn thì những ngày kế tiếp sẽ vô cùng nguy hiểm”, ‘bà trùm hoa hậu’ Kim Dung kết luận.

Instead of spending hours browsing through countless websites, these bots research, compare, and provide the best product options within seconds. This not only fosters a deeper connection between the brand and the consumer but also ensures that shopping online is as interactive and engaging as walking into a physical store. This lets eCommerce brands give their bot personality and adds authenticity to conversational commerce. BargainBot seeks to replace the old boring way of offering discounts by allowing customers to haggle the price. The bot can strike deals with customers before allowing them to proceed to checkout.

In-store merchants, on the other hand, can leverage shopping bots in their digital platforms to drive foot traffic to their physical locations. One of the standout features of shopping bots is their ability to provide tailored product suggestions. In 2023, as the e-commerce landscape becomes more saturated with countless products and brands, the role of the best shopping bots has never been more crucial.

You don’t have to tell it anything, just choose a category and then a product and the AI will start asking questions to find the right item.

You can write your queries in the chat, and it will show results in the left panel.

For online merchants, this means a significant reduction in bounce rates. When customers find relevant products quickly, they’re more likely to stay on the site and complete a purchase. Navigating the e-commerce world without guidance can often feel like an endless voyage. With a plethora of choices at their fingertips, customers can easily get overwhelmed, leading to decision fatigue or, worse, abandoning their shopping journey altogether. They crave a shopping experience that feels unique to them, one where the products and deals presented align perfectly with their tastes and needs.

They streamline operations, enhance customer journeys, and contribute to your bottom line. Online customers usually expect immediate responses to their inquiries. However, it’s humanly impossible to provide round-the-clock assistance. You can foun additiona information about ai customer service and artificial intelligence and NLP. While physical stores give the freedom to ‘try before you buy,’ online shopping misses out on this personal touch. One of the significant benefits that shopping bots contribute is facilitating a fast and easy checkout process.

You don’t want to miss out on this broad audience segment by having a shopping bot that misbehaves on smaller screens or struggles to integrate with mobile interfaces. This shift is due to a number of benefits that these bots bring to the table for merchants, both online and in-store. The customer’s ability to interact with products is a key factor that marks the difference between online and brick-and-mortar shopping. When a customer lands at the checkout stage, the bot readily fills in the necessary details, removing the need for manual data input every time you’re concluding a purchase. This vital consumer insight allows businesses to make informed decisions and improve their product offerings and services continually. Ranging from clothing to furniture, this bot provides recommendations for almost all retail products.

Whether an intentional DDoS attack or a byproduct of massive bot traffic, website crashes and slowdowns are terrible for any retailer. They lose you sales, shake the trust of your customers, and expose your systems to security breaches. So it’s not difficult to see how they overwhelm web application infrastructure, leading to site crashes and slowdowns.

Instead of spending hours browsing through countless websites, these bots research, compare, and provide the best product options within seconds. This not only fosters a deeper connection between the brand and the consumer but also ensures that shopping online is as interactive and engaging as walking into a physical store. This lets eCommerce brands give their bot personality and adds authenticity to conversational commerce. BargainBot seeks to replace the old boring way of offering discounts by allowing customers to haggle the price. The bot can strike deals with customers before allowing them to proceed to checkout.

In-store merchants, on the other hand, can leverage shopping bots in their digital platforms to drive foot traffic to their physical locations. One of the standout features of shopping bots is their ability to provide tailored product suggestions. In 2023, as the e-commerce landscape becomes more saturated with countless products and brands, the role of the best shopping bots has never been more crucial.

This shift is due to a number of benefits that these bots bring to the table for merchants, both online and in-store.

Theo thông tin của rất nhiều khách hàng không may sử dụng dịch vụ của công ty tài chính COMB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB, thì họ liên tục bị điện thoại khủng bố người nhà và cả bạn bè trên Facebook, mặc dù khoản vay chưa đến hạn thanh toán. Ví dụ bạn có khoản vay 20 phải đóng hàng tháng thì từ ngày 10 đến ngày 20 bạn sẽ liên tục bị gọi điện ngày 2-3 cuộc nhắc nợ, nếu khách hàng cảm thấy phiền không nghe thì họ sẽ tìm thông tin của bạn bè người thân trên facebook rồi gọi điện làm phiền. Theo như nhiều người sử dụng các dịch vụ tài chính thì chưa có dịch vụ tài chính nào có kiểu nhắc nợ bỉ ổi như công ty tài chính ComB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB. Các công ty tài chính chỉ gọi điện nhắc nợ nhiều lần khi khách hàng đã quá ngày thanh toán mà chưa hoàn thành còn trước đó họ chỉ gọi 1 cuộc để nhắc nhở khách hàng mà thôi. Co những khách hàng lịch sử trả nợ rất tốt, chưa bao giờ bị quá hạn vẫn bị khủng bố như thường.
