From searching for a stage to putting down roots and growing: at Maywufa, I've seen the true value of sales

Having been through the uncertainty and anxiety of working for a distributor and the long, layered communication of a multinational principal, in my nearly ten years at Maywufa I have finally found a stage where I can give my all and build steadily. Here I have not only earned my supervisors' recognition and trust step by step, but also redefined how far my career in sales can go. Looking back at the split-team period during the pandemic, when a customer suddenly requested a new product, I worried that communication would be hampered, but the team showed tremendous rapport and flexibility. With the strong backing of Maywufa's own MIT (Made in Taiwan) factory and R&D, we went from zero to one and launched the product in less than six months. Unlike multinationals constrained by the say of an overseas head office, the flexibility of making and selling our own products lets me see operations from a full perspective, learning more deeply and seeing more broadly. At Maywufa, as long as you have ideas and dare to voice them, the bosses' and supervisors' doors are always open.

Sales is not just about selling products; it is a bridge between the inside and the outside. I have always believed that the best partnerships come from treating the other party as a friend and putting yourself in their shoes. When you have market acumen, understand company strategy, and earn the absolute trust of your purchasing partners, you naturally create a lasting win-win for the company and the customer. Sales takes enormous drive, but you are never fighting alone. At Maywufa, everyone has their own role yet works in great harmony. When challenges come, we can always pool our ideas and charge forward together.

As long as you have market acumen, dare to take on challenges, and are hungry to grow, there will always be a stage here for you to show what you can do!

When you are willing to go one step further, the room the company gives you to grow and perform is bigger than you imagine

Joining Maywufa has been the most fulfilling stretch of my career. My previous work was narrow, with limited room to perform. After coming here in 2018, I found that the trust Maywufa gives is real and tangible: as long as you have ideas and data to back them up, the company is very willing to provide resources, and the concepts in your head can be validated step by step and successfully realized.   Many people assume R&D in a traditional industry is slow, but the Maywufa team actually moves fast, and our formula development keeps setting new records! The best moment of all was when the formulas we developed, combined with the efforts of marketing and sales, won "No. 1 in Shampoo Sales Among Taiwanese Brands" in the Kantar market survey. Every time I see people in a store putting products we made into their shopping carts, the sense of fulfillment and joy is truly hard to describe.

Seeing my own potential and leveling up together with the team

I am very grateful for my supervisors' recognition, which gave me the chance early on to serve as acting supervisor. As the business expanded, the company gave its full support for increasing headcount, so the team could keep pushing forward without worrying about a lack of resources or manpower. Together with the company, I planned and moved into a brand-new R&D laboratory, and I also went deep into the production line to help the factory solve production problems, becoming the most dependable support for marketing and sales.

In my years of leading a team, what I value most is transparent communication and passing on experience. I am lucky to have found a group of great partners and to have developed two mid-level managers who can stand on their own. With the company's full support and my team's rapport, I was able to apply for parental leave with complete peace of mind when I had my second child, truly achieving a balance among work, family, and life.

If, like me, you don't want to just do the same repetitive blending, and you want every one of your formulas to have a chance to be seen and validated, Maywufa is a great place to give full play to your expertise. I look forward to more partners with a passion for R&D joining us to create work we can be proud of together!

The essence of auditing is not to create confrontation, but to "establish principles and protect the team"

Beyond serving as a back-end function that meets compliance and legal requirements, what Maywufa values even more in auditing is the soundness of processes and how to prevent problems before they happen through operational optimization. To me, the essence of auditing is not to create confrontation, but to "establish principles and protect the team." We are like the company's family doctor: through process checkups we identify potential risks and help each department build work mechanisms that are more efficient and easier to trace.

Clarifying risk with expertise, empowering the team with flexibility

At Maywufa, management has given the Audit Office great room to perform and a great deal of trust. Over the years I have devoted much effort to helping departments put into writing the working understandings that used to be passed on only by word of mouth, while staying flexible in the face of sudden change. When operating standards and risk controls become clear guidelines, communication costs for existing teams go down, new colleagues have rules to follow, and the company's operating experience can be passed on steadily. For example, review processes used to be designed mostly for traditional TV advertising, but today's marketing spans social media, KOL collaborations, and diverse digital media. Applying old guidelines to new media would only tie people's hands. So I revised the "Marketing and Advertising Management Regulations," tailoring a review mechanism that fits today's media ecosystem, so that partners have a clear, traceable set of rules to follow when moving new projects forward. I also promoted the "Regulations for Handling Near-Expiry Inventory," which clearly set out the principles for disposing of near-expiry and refurbished goods, provide a clear basis for sales, promotions, and donations, reduce the risk of slow-moving and scrapped goods, and genuinely help protect the assets of the company and the team.

It is worth mentioning that I am very grateful to the company for regularly holding "Inspiration Sessions," inviting outside speakers to share on diverse topics such as AI trends and new health knowledge. This not only broadens our horizons amid busy work, but also gives me, as an auditor, a channel for understanding each department's language and gives partners from different departments a chance to interact and build trust.

Auditing is not about finding fault; it comes from wanting to do things better.

If you also believe that "a good system is not a restriction, but a stage that lets people perform with greater confidence," you are welcome to join Maywufa and build a stronger, sounder team with us!

Crossing hierarchical lines, Maywufa closes the distance with human warmth

I used to do warehousing and logistics work at other companies, repeating picking and shipping every day. What I experienced there was a clear hierarchy. Colleagues did their own work and went home, and relationships always carried a sense of distance. Since coming to Maywufa, what has surprised me most is not how new the equipment is, but the warmth of the people.

At Maywufa there is no lofty air of authority. During shipping peaks or when something unexpected happens, supervisors roll up their sleeves and pitch in. This feeling of unity, of working hard together toward a common goal, is something I had never experienced before. Every day I work, joke around, and solve problems with this easygoing group of colleagues, who even become friends I share my life with after work. This atmosphere makes even the heaviest tasks feel lighter, and it is my greatest motivation.

Surpassing yourself through lean learning, and growing together by passing on experience

The company's introduction of smart automated warehousing has also spared us the needless strain of traditional handling, letting us put our energy into work that needs more thought. My supervisors have also placed great trust in me, giving me the chance to strengthen my abilities through continuous training and learning until I could operate the entire system on my own. In the beginning, the machines occasionally needed debugging. Some situations could not be solved by pressing a button on the ground; you had to climb a warehouse safety ladder more than ten levels high to clear the fault by hand. Every manual fix was physically exhausting and time-consuming, and it was precisely the hardship of "climbing up and down" that taught me careful work habits. I began constantly asking myself how to prevent errors at the source and keep the system from getting stuck. Now I can not only work independently but also share, without reservation, the pitfall-avoiding experience I have built up with the partners around me.

What has grown most during this time is my ability to solve problems independently and the solid feeling of being trusted by the team. Working at Maywufa doesn't require fancy words. It suits people who are willing to work hard, give of themselves, and keep their feet on the ground.

If you are also tired of cold workplace hierarchies and want to find a team where you can enjoy your work and where partners become friends and family, you are welcome to join us!

The grounded feeling of "sharing in the pride" is the achievement I am proudest of in my career

After working hard at a small distributor and experiencing the systems and prestige of a multinational principal, Maywufa is the first Taiwanese MIT brand of my career, yet it is also where I have stayed the longest and put down the deepest roots: ten years and counting. At Maywufa, I have witnessed Taiwan's all-round capabilities, from local R&D and manufacturing to sales and marketing. Taking part firsthand as a Taiwanese brand grew strong and made its name gave me a grounded feeling of "growing together and sharing in the pride," the most rewarding part of a busy job. Over these ten years I have grown from an entry-level employee, not only creating many new brands loved by consumers together with the company and my colleagues, but also becoming a mother of two in real life. If I were to sum up this journey in a few of my deepest memories, it would be these three things:  

A full view from 0 to 1, and making it happen: if you dare to dream, Maywufa dares to provide the resources

Embracing innovation and market acumen without limits; a warm culture of mutual support and work-life balance

Many people assume that Maywufa, with its many years in Taiwan, must be conservative. In fact it is exactly the opposite. During the pandemic, many companies chose to cut back or exit, but Maywufa keenly read the market trend, investing against the tide and developing new product lines. Faced with the new wave of AI , our supervisors and the company have been very receptive, offering ample opportunities to experiment. With agile cross-department collaboration across e-commerce, brick-and-mortar, and the factory, and ample brand resources, many new projects get a chance to be tried. The record-high sales set year after year are the best recognition for marketers.

A warm culture of mutual support and work-life balance

The pace of fast-moving consumer goods is certainly busy and fast, yet the atmosphere within the department is very harmonious and friendly. Resources and experience are shared openly with colleagues, shortening the learning curve and creating the greatest benefit in the least time. As a family caregiver, I am also deeply grateful for the support and understanding of the company and my team. Everyone is willing to help one another when needed, so employees can confidently find a balance between pushing ahead in their careers and caring for their families.

The path of marketing requires keen market acumen, an endless stream of ideas, and strong communication, coordination, and execution skills. If you also want your creativity to truly come to life, and if you also long to shine in a team that is warm and always improving, you are welcome to join us and make Taiwanese brands bigger and better together!

One person alone goes fast; a team together goes far

I joined Maywufa at the warm invitation of a friend. To my surprise, on my very first day I deeply felt that I had been put in the right place, and a sense of mission to do things well welled up in me. Daily life in the Warehousing and Logistics Department means keeping the numbers accurate, coordinating delivery schedules with sales and customers, and skillfully operating a forklift to move goods. Many people think warehousing and logistics is just moving things around, but it is actually a profession that requires great acuity and flexibility! What attracts me most about Maywufa is its harmonious atmosphere of communication. When difficulties arise, supervisors always lend a hand at the right time, and everyone can sit down and properly discuss solutions. Working here feels solid and reassuring.

Here, there is no needless confrontation or infighting

When the company decided to build an automated warehouse, I was very fortunate to have the chance to take part in learning and implementing it. There was inevitably a breaking-in period at the start. For example, if goods stuck out even slightly beyond the pallet, the sensors would sound an alarm and bring the whole line to a halt. During that time I was like an explorer, feeling my way and debugging as I went, sorting out unexpected situations one by one. Now I not only know the entire smart logistics process inside out, but can also pass on this valuable hands-on experience to my partners and get everyone up to speed. Having gone through the building of the new factory and the introduction of the automated warehouse, the biggest shock was how the way we work was turned on its head: we used to spend a great deal of time searching for goods in a huge warehouse. Now the system calls up materials automatically, so that "the goods come to us." This has not only greatly improved shipping efficiency, but has also made me more independent as I take on new, multifaceted tasks, no longer relying on others for everything.

I am grateful that the company is willing to invest in advanced equipment, making once-heavy warehouse work smoother and more high-tech and giving us a greater sense of accomplishment. I am also thankful for its willingness to invest time and resources in employees' professional and skills growth. Building up hands-on experience bit by bit, I am proud of my work.

If you are also careful and responsible, enjoy using new technology to solve problems, and long to put your strengths to use in a harmonious team that supports one another, you are welcome to join us and move forward together with Maywufa!

A warm, efficient, and reassuring sense of belonging has kept me here for twenty years

Before I knew it, I had been at Maywufa for nearly twenty years. I used to work at a smaller company, where I experienced incomplete systems and a great deal of tedious paperwork. Only after coming to Maywufa did I feel for the first time what an efficient workplace is. Here, most processes are handled digitally through systems, information is transparent and flows smoothly, and colleagues share a good rapport and an atmosphere of mutual support.

Sales administration may look like daily chores such as entering orders, shipping, and invoicing, but SOPs alone are not enough to do this job well. Many details and subtleties cannot be written down in black and white; they depend entirely on care, caution, and the sense and responsibility built up over time.

Turn the tedious into the seamless, and you become the most trusted cornerstone of the team

Over the years, Maywufa's systematized environment has spared me needless wear and tear. As my experience grew, I went from "getting things done" to mastering the invisible details and getting things "done perfectly," becoming the most dependable support for the sales force and the team.

What I remember most from my work is one year-end when the products had long been delivered and the invoice issued, but the customer asked to change the invoice date because of a delay in their internal acceptance. With only a few days left before the new year, once the year turned, voiding the invoice and adjusting the accounts would become very complicated. But in the spirit of putting the customer first, I raced against time in those few days, confirming the accounting details and coordinating internal processes, and finally resolved it within the deadline. This last-minute rescue not only solved a major crisis for the customer but also earned us deep, irreplaceable trust.

Today I have found the perfect balance between work and life here, I am still passionate about each day's new challenges, and I plan to keep taking them on here!   If you are also careful and responsible, and long to grow steadily in a harmonious, supportive team, you are welcome to join us!

At Maywufa, I've turned my work into an everyday life I love

When I first joined Maywufa, I was a visual designer with my head down making banners and retouching images. Back then I was used to following instructions and getting the visuals right, thinking about how to accurately present other people's ideas. What is most special here is that it gives colleagues a great deal of room to shine. When I became interested in marketing planning, my supervisor and team were very supportive of my transfer to "product marketing planning." That step took me from doing visuals behind the scenes to stepping onto the stage and leading product direction, and it taught me to move from passively following to proactively taking the lead.

Every crossover turns past experience into confidence for the future

Looking back, I worked and brainstormed with the team and tried adding a little touch at checkout on the official website: "add us as a friend and get a discount coupon." It successfully took our official account from a few thousand followers to more than a hundred thousand. The company is very willing to give us room to try all kinds of new approaches, which is really great for people in marketing.

After doing marketing for a long time, it actually becomes a way of life. Once, scrolling on my phone after work, I saw a KOL I really like sharing our product in her Stories. When I looked into it, I learned that she had ordered it herself on Uber, loved using it, and shared it on her own initiative. Seeing a product I had nurtured genuinely loved by someone else gave me a sense of accomplishment that is hard to describe! Later I reached out to her through the company's resources, which led to a wonderful brand collaboration.

Marketing moves fast. It takes curiosity about new things and some resilience in the face of challenges. If you also like trying new ideas and want your creativity to be seen, you are welcome to join us and do more interesting things together!
