lunch time

It's lunch time. and blogging time for me :)


had a talk with my boss just now. i glad i initated the conversation.

i told her frankly about how i felt. how lost i am. how aimless i am.

this was what i told her:
I am very lost. i start to question myself. question my ability as a salesperson. is there really something wrong with my abilities? or luck? or the sectors that i am covering are really hard?


this what she said to me:
don't compare yourself with others. when i first recruited you, i have already managed the expectations. that is, you are going into a very untapped sector. there are definitely a lot of challenges. but the main thing is also, u are being too formal in presentation. you must learn to be a bit more causal in your sales pitch. but, i can perfectly understand where u are coming from since i was a fresh grad before. but remember, sales is about building long term relationships with your customer. u might not close them now, but it does not mean that u will not close them in the future. you must also brush up on your closing skills. don't be too pushy either. but you must also employ some closing techniques. like: when will i be expecting your contract to come in? is there anything that i can help on? i think u are doing just perfectly fine. but i am really worried that if i m not around, who will help you. don't be too hard on yourself either. but you are in it, try your best. but you are off work, enjoy yourself. don't neglect your life and time in finding the love of your life too.


to cheryl: i am really grateful to you. i can't imagine how i am going to cope without you. i know that u zui fang xing bu xia is me. but i hope that at the end of the day when u return, you will still see me around.


building a relationship with clients are just like a relationship isn't it?
there has to be CHEMISTRY between both of you.
