i have been neglecting my blog, really.
for the past 2 weeks, have been working in an advertising company, sounds cool?? but we are currently just selling privilege cards lah... the commission is rather good... but the prob is dunno why i just dun have that x-factor to get ppl to buy from me... sianz... so decided to quit on fri. but apparently, im still thinking of going back tmr... coz the card we sell now can contribute to charity. yihui was selling them yesterday and oh gosh... it was like hot cakes man... she earned 95 bucks a day with abit of my help yesterday... really goes to show the word "charity" really WORKS... haha. therefore im still thinking if i shoud join her for another 3 days. my aim's just 2 books a day... which gives me a pretty 60 bucks. can le lah.
but anyway, my 2 weeks at the company was a real happy one... esp learning from my boss alfred and trainer sarah and gavin. must mention them or not i forget in the future.from them i not only learnt how advertising should work, but most imptly, me and yihui felt that its their attitude towards work and life that really deserves our respect. like sarah and alfred, they always have a positive atiitude towards work... no matter how poorly i have done, she would say "dun worry, there are ups and downs in your life. today is just a down day...u must be positive... believe that tmr will be better... den u will naturally do well..." as for that alfred, yeah crazy but fantastic boss. never fails to cheer our morales up every morning and after work... me and yihui were saying... our mood are like rollercoaster everyday. start off with a low spirit to work, den high after wat alfred has said, den low again in the afternoon when we could sell our stuff, but end off the day with very high spirits after listening to sarah and alfred... its just like a cycle u know... haha. alfred always asked us: wat do u wan in life? success right? how do u wan to achieve it?... we as the boss are more den willing to teach you... it just depends whetther u are willing to learn and work hard for it or not... yeah... i truely believe he can be wat he is today becoz of his hardwork, attitude and determination. without determination, i think no one will succeed... esp in sales... coz i know that too well....
i have always thot that as a student, the greatest setback i experienced was probably only poor results. but within these 2 weeks, i know that my life is not all about studying loh. i felt really demoralised when i sold only 1 card a day. its like all the efforts i put it doesnt pay off at all. the feeling wasnt good at all. the job itself isnt very tiring actually... just walking around... talking... chatting...
currently, perhaps i think i still lack the determination to do sales. there's perfectly nothing wrong with the job... its just that i dun think im already up to the standards that a salesperson should have. thats why im quitting. and of coz i admit, my poor performance leading to poor salary is another reason. but watever the case, i still wanna thanks alfred and the company... i know they wouldnt be reading this so yeah... its ok...
