work...

So, chinese new year has ended.

I have started work. Thou at a MNC, the basic is super unsatisfactory. I was in the sales again, but a totally different one. I used to enjoys doing sales very much, seeing the satisfaction straight from the customer's face, joking with them at ease, using at ease with my 'singlish' and having fun, joking with colleagues on the sales floor.

Perhaps, being in the retail line for close to 10 years, gives me complete confidence selling anything. With a product that i can see with my naked eyes.

Things changed thou. The current company, thou, has really low basic, but high commission. i do appreciate the high commission. However, unexpectedly, i do think that i am flopping in the company now. Its a totally different kind of sales experience all together. I'm grouded. I cannot even walk. I'm trying to crawl.

My best friend is the telephone at work. talking to it more than i sleep at home. Touching it more than i touch myself. At home, i'm straight on the computer. Finding leads for the work tomorrow. 30 new leads every single day is no easy task. I'm limited to only less than 5 hours sleep everyday. Dead tired.

While in NS, the theme 'RING THE BELL' is to give up. Here, i yearn to 'RING THAT BELL' mounted on the wall. Not that i wanted to quit. But that i want to close my deals, FAST!! The term 'RING THE BELL' means closing deals, and every single ring of the bell means the number of delegates investing in the product. This is followed by claps from everyone on the sales floor. The target audience is no longer walk in customers, but decision makers in ranging from small companies to hugh ones. The sales place is no longer local, but anywhere in the world.

Talking to the phone is a total new experience. I felt so helpless, not at ease, and i'm like a nusience, asking questions, and most of the time stupid ones to seniors. I'm learning, YES, but i'd not felt like a spastic person for so long. Asking questions after questions.

2 weeks without sales. Tho demoralised, but i'm still upbeat. Lets hope i'll be able to walk soon, then jump, followed by fly. I'm not a fan of planes thou, but i'm a fan of astronaunts. I wanna reach for the moon. With constant hardwork, i believe i can do what i wanted.

Now, i shall start reducing my singlish.
