i dunno why my previous post look like that hor. hahaha.
eh why do i have so few tags ar??? i know you people visit my blog k!! tag hor!! haha.
goodness. 5 sales today. or 6. cant rmb. btw, the max for today was maybe 6 or 7? so quite contented today. but i shall not compare. sometimes, i dont know whether it's luck or what. i never believed in such a thing as luck. cause all things happen for a reason. this whole thing is just very queer.
today's crowd was really very bad. i think the whole point of IT shows is quite nonsensical. people NEVER go on the first and second day. who in their right mind would. if you buy on the first/second day, it's like you're preparing yourself to be cheated. i seriously hate that. i hate treating customers like rabbits after baits too. of course, i dont do that. cut prices, i mean. cause dont have the authority to. i can say that working for this brand now is really much better than acer. acer cuts prices like nobody's business.
but anyways. my supervisor only got 2 sales today. thou what he earned equates to what i have earned in commission today, cause of the difference in commission(he's is twice more than mine for certain models) can understand that he was feeling very very pek chek. esp for someone who has worked for such a long time. and many others also did not sell much. sometimes it's due to the location of where they stand, (which im not sure matters, because someone who stood somewhere different from us also got 6 sales) , or is it just 'luck' that the wrong opportunity just presented itself at the wrong time. i know my supervisor; he's a super salesman. able to talk to people, most of the time giving true advice, (haha) able to 'charm' his way into people's hearts. not to mention that he's worked so many times that he knows everything at the back of his hands. prices, discounts, whatever. can understand how he feels when he compares himself against someone whose had like 10 sales, and has only done this once.
NEVER underestimate one's ability. someone who looks shy or demure, could be very good in sales. it works many ways. sales; this broad area; is accomodating to anyone who dares and wants to try their hand at it. and often, the unexpected happens. with regards to character and initial perspectives, that is.
very sleepy today. slept only 5 hours ytd for some reason. dunno y just couldnt sleep more. tmr and sunday are really choing le. hate this kind of thurs and fri slack, sat and sun chiong. feels really, really meaningless. i feel like creating my own IT show and holding it for 2 days only. sigh. 1 day would be too little a time.
i hate cutting prices. i hate it when companies do that. it makes people lose trust in IT show on thurs and fridays as a whole. waste manpower to stand there while people rack-ee. ok i dont know how to spell that. and it's draining on the human spirit too. to expect someone to buy, but in the end, he/she says 'just looking around'.
note: this is not how i feel. jason bribed me to do this. HAHA. XD. no lah. jason and koon cai were nice today. they came to sitex and waited for me until 10pm when i finished work to take the mrt with me. aw.. haha... XD
u know, the pple working at hp get super super low pays? basic $20, com $5 to $15 per laptop i think. and hp is not easy to sell ok. well, at least i think so? hahah. it's really more high end. im already thankful that mine is comparable to my previous one. very sure i can beat my previous record le.. haha.
anw in the mrt with jason and koon cai. my ram dropped alot le. super sleepy. jason said i zhong4 virus. LOL. then jason always very wols mah. hahaha. often stm also. nid to upgrade processor. haha. ok lame jokes. hahaha. then hor i wanted to tell them this joke i made during working. but once i thought of it i couldnt stop laughing. then jason saw me laughing, then he laugh also. i was too sleepy to laugh you know!!! but i still laughed until i stomach ache. haha. cant believe jason can laugh when he sees people laughing!!! HAHAHA!!! THAT IS SUPER HILARIOUS. ive almost never seen anyone who can laugh when people laugh. esp not my laugh; cause it's really not contagious, unlike my bro's. koon cai's face was pretty much straight while we were laughing thou. hahaha.
ok tell you guys a joke before i go to sleep. there was this poster beside our booth which says 'get ocbc rewards when you charge to your ocbc card'. then my friend asked 'where to redeem the rewards?' then i look at the poster and read the ocbc slogan. guess what it is? 'ask ocbc lor' i replied. HAAHAH. XD im such a bad joke-teller. hahahah. so i tried to tell this joke to jason and koon cai. but he said it's old joke le. LOLX. see it real life on a poster is different mah!! hahah!!!! next time a customer asks me where to redeem, I'LL TELL HIM 'ASK OCBC'. you'll realise that customers actually appreciate promoters with a sense of humour. but i cant put my finger on the exact traits which makes the 'best' salesperson. cause sometimes, 'luck' causes my hypothesis to be questioned. hahaha. XD
go sleep le. sat tmr!!! ahh!! i so totally dont have any time to rest!!! goodness me. the only time i have to rest is sleep time.. sigh. i want to be alone and think my thoughts... not be bomb barded constantly with needs and wants of customers.. sigh. 2 more days.
just these few intensive days, has taught me so much. it's like navcamp. intensive, tiring, yet fulfilling. not only because of the financial rewards. i learn alot about myself... the world.. people.. alot of things. it is true that only through suffering, then we will learn. you dont learn by getting full marks all the time for tests. you learn by making mistakes, feeling disappointed about them, and then change. it's a really sad thing; something i often cannot accept about myself; that it's human nature to make mistakes.
goodnight people. =)
