00:00The importance of cleaning and sanitation is why selling liquid soap is a good business idea for those who want to have a business.
00:09Liquid soap is not only practical and easy to use, but it can also be a source of income.
00:16And that's where Gemry Sebastian Martilla became successful.
00:20Find out her shining story right here in Negosyo Tayo.
00:25Liquid soap is a useful and effective means of cleaning.
00:30That's why some of us make sure that it won't be lost in our homes.
00:36That's why we're going to meet a liquid soap business to find out their secret to a successful business.
00:49Tell us about your life before you joined the business.
00:52We didn't have a background in business.
00:56Before I joined the business, I was working in a fast food restaurant at the age of 16.
01:03I tried to open a call center and I also did some modeling.
01:10Yes, that explains how beautiful Ms. Gem is.
01:13But how did you get into the liquid soap business? How did it start?
01:18Because of the pandemic, there were no rockets, no jobs.
01:21Because of the pandemic, Facebook was flooded.
01:24I saw a group of mommies making dish washing.
01:29I tried it and we bought raw materials.
01:32And that's when it started to sell well.
01:36Did you have struggles along the way building this business?
01:39There were a lot of struggles.
01:41Especially during the pandemic, the shipment of products was difficult.
01:45But luckily, everyone was online.
01:48So when you post, a lot of people can see it.
01:52And the struggle in business is when you're just starting and you don't know anything.
01:57But at the same time, you need to teach people.
02:00Would you consider yourself successful already in this kind of business?
02:04Thank God, because we already have almost 200 employees.
02:08We already have properties.
02:12Financially, yes, I can say that we are successful.
02:17Spiritually, we are successful because we believe in God and His plan.
02:21From three, now we have 200 and we already have properties.
02:27We became successful just because of the business.
02:34This is our newest product, which is a magic kit.
02:37By the way, you need 14 liters of clean water.
02:40Rainwater is prohibited.
02:42We will just pour all of it.
02:44If you want extra income or extra income, especially for our mommies.
02:50The most important thing is to mix it well because the effectivity will be reduced
02:54if we don't use all the raw materials inside.
02:58And then we will mix it.
03:00So after we mix it, Ms. Gem?
03:02You just need to let it rest for 1 to 3 hours so that the bubbles will disappear.
03:09And then we can transfer it to bottles.
03:12And then you can put your own brand sticker.
03:17What are the lessons that you can share with them that you learned while building this business?
03:22The first thing I learned is to trust God.
03:25Because if I don't trust His plan, maybe this will not happen.
03:29And at the same time, maybe your partnership with your husband.
03:34Because if it's not because of my husband, he's the one who pushes me to try it.
03:40The people around you are the ones who have the biggest impact when it comes to business.
03:49There is no such thing as overnight success or easy money.
03:53If you are in trouble, don't let it get to you.
03:56Get up and try again.
03:59That is the lesson that the business owner Ms. Gem Matilia shared with us.
04:03See you again next time for another inspiring business story that we will share with you.
04:09So let's go! Let's do business!
