NASRUL AZIZI NASAARUDDIN
Unit Manager
Nasrul Azizi graduated in the field of Information Technology (IT) in 2000. He spent about two years in the IT field with a government-linked corporation (GLC) before embarking into sales in the financial industry. In September 2006, Nasrul joined RIDPEST as a Telemarketer. A year later, he moved on to be a Pest Management Advisor (PMA). As a PMA, he achieved highest monthly sales numerous times.
Nasrul’s 7 years of sales involvement ranges from inside selling to outside selling in both consumer and business markets. In 2008, Nasrul saw the benefits of a RIDPEST Franchisee and was determined to be his own boss. With full trust in the RIDPEST Franchise after having been a PMA with RIDPEST, Nasrul took a big step in remortgaging his house to take up the RIDPEST Franchise opportunity. In 2009, Nasrul established NN Pest Control Sdn Bhd to be the 4th RIDPEST Franchisee.
When asked about the main criterion to be a good franchisee, Nasrul’s answer is simple : “positive thinking and willing to take the risk”. He also advises those interested in taking up a franchise to do a market survey first before signing up with any franchisor. Nasrul is confident that he can be a successful businessman and hopes to open more franchise outlets in the future.
