And finally, how can agents join a famil to Thailand?
The minimum eligibility requirement is that agents must be actively promoting and have the potential to push Thailand sales. We give priority to the top selling agents especially those who we work closely with in running joint promotion or joint advertising campaigns. With this selection criterion we can ensure that the right candidates are given an opportunity to learn and experience more products in Thailand so that they can build up their knowledge and expertise and continue to promote and sell Thailand.
