HeY! HeY! HeY!
Today I did quite ok..
Something dat is definitely reasonable.
I wanted to lie to my boss dat,
we did badly..
But my trainer's trainer oredi told him.
So I juz said "I did ok.."
He muz be guessing im a bit demoralised.
Cos he told me to be positive.

For once,
I almost forgot why I like him;
Wen I was an FR.
But now im an FR again,
den i finally realise why I like him.
Again.
Maybe after I find a clearer reason as to why I like him,
den Ill type it down here.
For now I'm not in the mood to talk abt my boss.
Not bcos Ive grown to hate him again but bcos,
the topic today isnt abt him.

The topic today is abt retention rate.
Not reali abt retention rate.
But reason y I still stay on in dis company.
I totally agree with wad Joval had said in e morn.
The reasons as to why our parents/ wives/or whomever it may concern,
object us from working in the job.
One reason is bcos we're not bringing in enuff money.
2ndly, no basic salary.
3rdly, no CPF.
4thly, we showed them how unhappy we are.
Like duh!
Of course they object lah!

Let me tell u how I manage to stay in e company for so long.
Not reali long,
but reasonable-kinda long.

I was reali interested in doing business.
Like wad ive said in my previous post,
I juz don hav a biz plan yet.
But wad I wan 4 mths ago was a capital for myself.
Den my bro told me dat e highest pay u can earn was to be a salesperson.
I agreed.
Totally.
It's of unlimited earnings!
So I applied the job.
Sales and executive.
1st day I come, I have ZERO skepticism.
Cynicism is far from it.

I got to learn dat that it is a direct mktg company.
The one dat requires,
door-to-door sales,
events/ roadshows,
or even business-to-business sales.
Wadeva it is,
it requires us to meet face to face with customers.
Knocking doors.
Knocking into offices without appointments.
Saying hi to strangers.
Total strangers!
Actuali its sth not new to me.
Ive done it before bcos my late grandpa owned a shop.
So basically its a family biz.
We have to work despite dat I'm still so young.
I was only Pri 3 den.
But dat isnt e point.

If I were to ask the world a qn,
"hu want to do the job dat im doin?"
I'm very positive dat 90% will not raise up their hands.
It's tiring.
It makes u look like a desperado, asking for sales.
It's embarrassing.
Blah blah blah...

But dat is never a problem to me.
Like ive said, ive done dis before.
No prob for me.
To me, wad is important is to hit great sales.
This goal was set up by me.
If one managed to do so, it shows dat one can manage a biz in e near future.
Haha.
That is wad I was thinkin.
Maybe dat is the reason why I stayed.
I wasnt doing well.
So I wan to develop my sales strength in this company.
Weird?

I vowed to myself,
I will never quit dis job till I show myself dat im worth an asset.
I came with zero experience in sales.
I can only talk to people BUT NOT sell things to ppl.
Dere's a difference yeah!

So I gues, now u guys noe y I still stay in this company.

To be honest,
my mom objected to dis job.
But I keep telling her,
if u wan sth, u r willing to strive for it.
Even if it means to sacrifice ur time, money and energy.
I also told her that it's going to be short-term sacrifices.
Plus my enthusiasm in venturing in depth onto sales and marketing,
it juz made my mom wan to ignore me.
Gruntled at my stupidity.
Mocked at me.

Too bad for her.
Those remarks didnt affect me one bit!
I was oredi having great ambitions.
And I noe nth can stop me from achieving my dreams.

For 3wks since the day i joined i wasnt doing great sales.
I was doing residential.
It was hard cos ppl are not opening doors for me.
But once u get it, ull juz break it!
After I did a so-so sales, I was changed to events.
It was much much easier!
Dats where my sales went up.
Not fantastic, but sth.
300-400 bucks per wk.

With e reasonable amt of money I brought in,
along with my enthusiasm,
day by day,
my mom did not say much.
Now,
wen I told her I feel like quitting e job,
cos I wan to focus on e REAL future path for myself,
she got e cheek to ask me not to quit so early!
I was like dumbfounded for a split second.
But I oredi told my colleagues and my boss dat I wan to quit end of April!
Somewhere there lah.
Like so malu if I extend a bit longer.
Haha.

Mother. Mother.
They are a bunch of interesting ppl.
Gues Ill reach dat stage one day.

Since I'm in this job,
well I'm going to help my trainer get promoted to Stage 4.

I noe blogging can be boring sometimes.
Most of the times.
Maybe.
To some people.
At least to me.
That's the reason why I don read ppl's blog.

However, what everyone doesnt mind doing is,
basically reading other ppl's blogs!
(The Jones theory)
I mean it only takes 2 min to read wad is written,
and best of all, im sure you gain sth;
be it in knowledge or understanding of ppl's life.
(Greed)
How long will the post last for us to read, we never know.
(Fear of Loss)
So it's best if we read it today to avoid missing wad was written.
(Sense of urgency)
Whether you want to read or not,
after all it's entirely up to u.
(Indifference method).
But of course, I thank you for reading my blog.

HAhahahaha...

That is wad I've learnt at my workplace.
Learning how to use the 5 impulse factors,
that make others want to buy or even read our products
or reading aticles.

To be honest,
I lurve my job.
Not exactly on the sales part but mostly as a whole.
The idea of getting ppl to buy your product,
wihout realising they are being impulsed by us,
I tink it is wonderful!
So I guess,
this IS the world of business marketing.

Writing a business plan isnt easy at all.
I realise that I have the methods of how to handle business,
talk to people of different styles;
from normal ppl to corporate level,
reading body language,
and lots more that evolve ard biz world.
However, getting ur business started is NO joke.
I tink I took like almost 5 months to reali have a focus!

Ok maybe I do have a business plan.
But how can I get the ball rolling?
Wad im tinking now is actuali on capital.
I'm workin.
No time to start small even.
Too bz to even tink abt it.
Now I noe y Robert T. Kiyosaki hates to be an employee.
Wudnt even touch on dat level.

Maybe I shud focus one thing at one time.
Study business management.
Den redo my business plan.
But as for now,
I juz plan 1st to see a brief idea on wad I've tot of.
Den can it be reviewed after I finish my studies.

Maybe I shud start on the process more,
in order to reach my goals.
Because after all,
my ultimate goal is to prepare the best for my retirement age.
