Globe Business Head Martha Sazon: Building partnership with Filipino SMEs

Globe Business – Small and Medium Business Group Head Martha Sazon believes that a true partnership with SMBs means acquiring the same visionary perspective that entrepreneurs have. This, she says, is all-important because the business solutions they offer are meant to help fulfill each SME’s vision for the future.

“Here at Globe Business, what we are really offering SMEs are the tools to make their visions a reality. Every business starts out as a dream, as a vision of what could be. Does the client envision a chain of retail shops? Or is the vision about exporting Filipino delicacies to an  overseas Filipino community?

“What we’re telling SMEs is this: ‘You’ve already envisioned the future. You already saw the possibilities. Now, let us, let Globe Business help you make those possibilities come true—and even help you discover new possibilities to come.’ That is what our partnership with SMEs is all about,” said Martha Sazon, Head of Globe Business. Sazon, whose background includes top sales and marketing positions in multi-national companies before joining Globe Telecom, is in full-throttle when it comes to implementing the goals of Globe Business for SMEs.
Her priority nowadays, she said, is the completion of various upgrades to the existing Globe Business Plans and offers for SMEs.
The present thrust of the upgrades in Globe Business services and products for SME’s is threefold:  a) Customization; b) Cost-effectiveness; and c) Value Added offerings.  
Globe Business plans, like the My Best Ever Globe My Super Plan for Business, all have a suite of features and services that an entrepreneur can mix-and-match to suit his needs. Does he need unlimited mobile Internet to do business?  Is he more reliant on text messaging? Or do his business partners prefer mostly voice communications?
Globe Business plans are also cost-effective. They are available in a range of postpaid and pre-paid plans that fit an entrepreneur’s budget.  “We really go out on a limb to ensure that we keep our plans affordable while still empowering entrepreneurs with maximum features they need,” said Sazon.
Then there’s the Value-Added part of Globe Business thrust for the SME market. Sazon explained that they achieve this by offering booster features and services and by bundling plans with the latest, state-of-the art gadgets.
“Our plan boosters add services and features to an SME’s existing plan. All that’s needed is a minimal top-up fee to their regular monthly fee. These boosters may include unlimited voice calls, texts, or mobile Internet services.  As for the gadgets, we make sure that we offer only the best gadgets that they can use as business tools: state-of-the-art, reliable, multi-functional, and of course, always connected to the wireless communications grid, including mobile Internet. We also make it very easy to get gadgets on an installment basis or at great discounts. We do all of these because we take our commitment to SME’s very seriously. We are their partners and their growth and success is our mission,” she said.

VoiceBlast , a web app for effective response

VoiceBlast is a free online service that allows every type of organization to market, sell, remind, promote, advertise, survey, ask, help and assist its clients, members, patients, students, donors, voters, constituents, and every kind of customer by way of a short voice message every now and then.

Everyone needs Voice-blasting now - for small and medium enterprises, schools and universities, politicians, government agencies, event planners and coordinators, recruitment companies, hospitals, clinics, doctors, and non-profit organizations and all! 

GoAutoDial Inc., a three-and-a-half year old Filipino I.T. company owned and managed by veterans of the BPO, IT, retail and direct selling, telecom and media industries introduced the VoiceBlast during a meetup with the technology enthusiasts held at the Zarzuela, Shangrila Plaza East Wing, Edsa last October 2 as organized by Mr. Ron Villagonzalo of Sagabay BPO.

VoiceBlast, a web app for effective customer responce,  is a free online service by GoAutoDial Inc.
Rafael “Raffy” Pekson II
“Gone are the days when you run marketing campaigns through SMS which are usually deleted by the recipient” says Rafael “Raffy” Pekson II, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of GoAutoDial Inc. 

“VoiceBlast is the next generation marketing tool that’s free to use and each answered call costs as little as 65 centavos,” adds Pekson.

He shared to us that by simply sign up for free and start configuring VoiceBlast campaign profiles "like you were fixing your Facebook profile."

VoiceBlast is responsive, unlike text (SMS) or e-mail blasting. GoAutoDial’s VoiceBlast will make more sense than blasting your customers with SMS/text messages, e-mails, tweets and other non-verbal conversations.

"When someone picks up the phone, that’s pertinent data for you. When someone stays on the line for the entire length of your voice message, that’s pertinent data. When someone presses “1″ or other key selections, that’s pertinent data. When the line is always busy, that’s pertinent data. When no one answers the call, that’s pertinent data. If the number is not available or is a terminated number, that’s pertinent data," adds Pekson.

When you want to begin VoiceBlast-ing your message to your customers, simply sign up at www.justgocloud.com, for free! After signing up, you will receive an automated message asking you to confirm your new account. With this, GoAutoDial also provides you 120 minutes of free calls to the U.S. and Canada to test-demo calls and have a feel of the web app.

Once you have configured your VoiceBlast campaign in JustGoCloud.com, prepay no less than $50 USD (or about P2,200 at $1:P44 conversion rate) via PayPal or BDO deposit. Credits are automated via PayPal while for BDO deposits, you’ll need to scan or photograph the deposit slip and e-mail that back to GoAutoDial (it sometimes takes 24 to 48 hours before the online account is updated).

To simply use the Voiceblast, just refer to the “TUTORIALS” link for all DIY materials and video tutorials via http://support.goautodial.com.



There are no long term contract requirements, no monetary deposits, no monthly subscription charges and no set up fees.

With VoiceBlast, decision-making now becomes immediate because pertinent data is available right away. No waiting time. No guesses. No false observations. You know what each of your customers’ reactions are. Then, you know what to do next – correctly, precisely and immediately.
