Sitex 2008 is finally over!!! phew... finally can take a break..
Past 4 days have been super busy. Leaving my house everyday at 8+am and returning at 11+pm... stand about 14 hrs a day.. More xiong than army!!
hha but it was fun! and since my immediate superior is a chiobu, i feel happy to go to work too hee. learnt quite a few of valuable skills too...
1) Being thick skinned! in terms of yelling out the special promotional prices... dragging the customers to the booth to look at the printers... and the worst was when one customer was looking for someone... had to go to the management office and ask them to announce through the PA system that "Ms. PEARL looking for Mr. MOON" goodnesss. the management all give me the WTF look. so paiseh! xD
2) Handling rejections! this is the ultimate. i think i get rejected thousands of times each day while handling out the flyers, in hundreds of ways, until im totally numb liao. Some will totally ignore you and just walk into my arm handling out the flyer as if im not there... some will siam but still ignore me... some will show me the 'talk to the hand' gesture... some will even push my hand away.. But of course, there are the nicer ones who will look at me actually politely say no thank you. My personal favourite kind of rejection is when they actually smile meekly back at you and nod their head slightly (applicable to girls only hee =X)
3) Asking direct questions! 'sir/ma'am, can i get one set for you now?' after explaining, must really ask a YES or NO question to force them to make a decision. If not, most of them will just stand there and remain undecided. don't waste my time pls... if no, then thank you i'll just go on to the next customer liao, rather than stand there for 10 minutes to wait for them to make your decision. there are other potential buyers out there waiting for me to attend to them...
4) heightened 6th sense! lol. after a while it becomes quite easy to tell if the customer just asking for fun or is a really sincere buyer. i think its by their body language, but i dont really notice, just based on my instincts =)
i think i earned around 400 bucks in these 4 days... feeling abit relectant to splurge all on a new phone leh >.<
